Although some of us pooh-pooh at K-dramas for its unrealistic premises, a couple of legal dramas and cop shows from South Korea are actually top notch. They feature interesting subplots, touching on corruption and greed, have terrific main characters and boast a strong storyline at the centre of them.
One reason why legal and cop shows are grounded is probably because the cases are based on newspaper headlines, with some creative license added of course. And since it is usually a limited series with 16 to 20 episodes, the story is focused on the cases without much need for melodrama to stretch the narrative unnecessarily.
