  • The 5 best Korean dramas to watch on Netflix this fall

Netflix has something for every kind of K-drama fan this fall

by Kayti Burt

Gyeongseong Creature S1 Cr. Lim Hyo Sun/Netflix © 2023

Netflix’s most-watched TV series of all time — Squid Game — may not be returning until the Christmas season , but that doesn’t mean the fall schedule isn’t filled with Korean drama series to delight, horrify, and heal.

  • How K-dramas came to and dominated America

Gyeongseong Creature is poised to return with the fallout from its season 1-ending, time-jumping twist. The Hometown Cha Cha Cha writer-director team has reunited for a romantic comedy that looks to be as heartwarming as their 2021 hit. And Baeksang Award-winning director Mo Wan-il ( The World of the Married ) has us all guessing what is in store with the mysterious trailer for suspense thriller The Frog . Without further ado, here are five K-dramas to watch and watch out for in the coming months.

Romance in the House

Release date: August 10-September 19 Episode count: 12 Recommended for fans of: Unfamiliar Family, Vincenzo , Crash Course in Romance , SHINee

Korean dramas tend to do multi-generational, community-centric storytelling better than American TV, and Romance in the House is the latest example. Son Na-eun (Apink, Ghost Doctor ) stars as Byeon Mi-rae, a junior exec at a big mart who wrote her deadbeat dad off years ago. Mi-rae is the primary breadwinner for her family, paying her younger brother’s way through college, and ending up in the hospital from overexertion in the opening episode. When her father, Byeon Moo-jin ( Jewel in the Palace ’s Ji Jin-hee), returns from the presumed dead as a handsome, middle-aged multi-millionaire and buys the apartment building the family calls home, could things change? And will Mi-rae and the rest of her family accept it? SHINee’s Minho ( Yumi’s Cells ) stars as Mi-rae’s workplace love interest Nam Tae-pyeong, and Kim Jee-soo ( Hwarang ) plays hard-working mom Geum Ae-yeon, who never stopped loving her ex. So far, this show is a delight, and yet another recent example of an international K-drama that gives ample screentime to a complicated romance between middle-aged characters.

Love Next Door

Release date: August 17-October 6 Episode count: 16 Recommended for fans of: Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Because It’s My First Life, Crash Course in Romance

Hometown Cha Cha Cha writer Shin Ha-eun and director Yoo Je-won (also known for Crash Course in Romance ) reunite for Love Next Door , a romantic comedy about two childhood frenemies reunited in adulthood. The series stars Jung Hae-in (Netflix’s D.P. , Disney Pluss Connect ) as Choi Seung-hyo, a young architect on the rise, and Jung So-min ( Alchemy of Souls , Playful Kiss , Because It’s My First Life ) as Bae Seok-ryu, a product manager who returns home after a failure to try for a fresh start, Hallmark Movie-style. Of course, the move brings the two messily back together. Shenanigans ensue, dredging up deep and complicated feelings from the past. With such a strong team both in front of and behind the camera, this is poised to be one of the most delightful K-dramas of late summer/early fall.

Release date: August 23 Episode count: 8 Recommended for fans of: The Bequeathed, The World of the Married, creepy rural murder shows

There are K-dramas that work for K-drama fans, and there are K-dramas that find a broader audience. The Frog , which comes from The World of the Married director Mo Wan-il, is the latter. The dark, psychological drama set in a rural area of South Korea is poised to pull unsuspecting viewers in with its suspenseful tale of serial killers and small town secrets, unfolding across eight episodes. Kim Yoon-seok ( The Chaser, Another Child ) and Yoon Kye-sang (K-pop boy band g.o.d., Road Number One ) star as two men running lakeside vacation rentals in a sleepy part of Korea. To reveal too much more of the plot would be a disservice. Added bonus: Go Min-so also stars, in a very different role than her turn as ex-ballerina Lee Eun-yu in monster drama Sweet Home .

Gyeongseong Creature Season 2

Release date: TBA Episode count: TBA Recommended for fans of: Tale of the Nine-Tailed

Note: This write-up includes major spoilers for the ending of Gyeongseong Creature Season 1.

The first season finale of Gyeongseong Creature wrapped up most of the supernatural plot threads in its Seoul-under-Japanese-occupation setting well enough—then, it gave us a jaw-dropping mid-credits scene. In it, we see someone who looks remarkably like Park Seo-joon’s Tae-sang living in modern-day Seoul, looking not a day older than he did in 1945. While he’s called by a different name — Ho-jae — the scar on the back of his neck suggests he is in fact the same man. Given the star power of season 1 co-star Han So-hee, we can assume Yoon Chae-ok, who seemingly died in a fatal attack from her monster mother while protecting Tae-sang, will be back in season 2 as well. Will the two finally have a chance to be peacefully in love? And did Chae-ok turn monster, as season 1 suggested? And how the heck did Tae-sang stay young over the course of 80 years? Gyeongseong Creature is the rare K-drama with a stunning first season cliffhanger. While the show didn’t always make the best use of its killer premise and all-star cast, the second season is another chance for this series to become an iconic one.

Mr. Plankton

A woman wearing a colorful and not contemproary red, yellow, and blue dress runs on a highway with a jeep behind her in Mr. Plankton

Release date: TBA Episode count: 10 Recommended for fans of: Strong Girl Namsoon , It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

Nobody wants to live life as a plankton. But that’s how Hae-jo (Oh Jung-se) exists — well, not literally. According to the Soompi synopsis for this romantic dramedy, Hae-jo “dreams of a colorful future away from his plankton-like life where he feels like he doesn’t belong anywhere and doesn’t have anyone he cares about.” Will things change when he embarks on a journey with Jo Jae-mi ( Squid Game and All of Us Are Dead ’s Lee You-mi), his ex and an unhappy bride-to-be? Let’s hope so. Mr. Plankton may have a silly name, but it is written by It’s Okay to Not Be Okay scribe Jo Yong, which implies tons of angst before a potential happy ending. Also starring Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 ’s Alex Landi in a rare Hollywood-Korean drama crossover moment!

Explaining Claims About Tim Walz’s Military Service

Four veterans who investigate claims of fraudulent military service said they do not believe the governor is guilty of “stolen valor,” but that he did misrepresent his record at times.

Gov. Tim Walz speaking at a lectern at a rally wearing a dark suit and a red tie.

By Linda Qiu

Reporting from Washington

Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota has faced fresh scrutiny over his military service, and how he has characterized his record, in the weeks since he was selected as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate.

The attacks, spearheaded by his rival for the vice presidency who himself is a veteran, JD Vance, have dogged him since he first ran for Congress nearly two decades ago. Mr. Walz has forcefully defended his time in the Army National Guard.

“I am damn proud of my service to this country,” Mr. Walz said this month . “And I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person’s service record.”

Some details of Mr. Walz’s service are still unknown, and other facts may remain unverifiable. Here’s what we know.

What Was Said

“What bothers me about Tim Walz is the stolen valor garbage. Do not pretend to be something that you’re not.” — Mr. Vance at a rally in Michigan in August

“How dare @GovTimWalz claim he went to war when he did not. While I am not a combat veteran, I did not dodge service. He’s a coward. This is grossly misleading and, by definition, illegal. Walz never deployed and is falsely claiming he did. This is stolen valor.” — Representative Anna Paulina Luna, Republican of Florida, on social media in August

Essay on Crime

Students are often asked to write an essay on Crime in their schools and colleges. And if you’re also looking for the same, we have created 100-word, 250-word, and 500-word essays on the topic.

Let’s take a look…

100 Words Essay on Crime

Understanding crime.

Crime refers to acts that violate the law. They are considered harmful and punishable by a governing authority. Crimes can range from theft to murder.

Types of Crimes

There are various types of crimes. Violent crimes include actions like assault, while theft falls under property crimes. White-collar crimes involve fraud or embezzlement.

Consequences of Crime

Crimes have severe consequences. They can lead to imprisonment, fines, or even death penalties. Moreover, they harm communities and individuals, causing fear and damage.

Preventing Crime

Preventing crime involves law enforcement, education, and community programs. Everyone can contribute to a safer society by obeying laws and reporting suspicious activities.

250 Words Essay on Crime

Introduction.

Crime, a pervasive aspect of society, is an act that violates a law and is punishable by the state. It disruptively breaches societal norms, creating a sense of insecurity and fear. This essay delves into the nature of crime, its causes, and the role of law enforcement.

The Nature of Crime

Crime is a complex phenomenon, varying across cultures and societies. It ranges from minor offences like theft to severe ones like homicide. The nature of crime reflects societal values, as what is considered criminal is determined by the prevailing legal and moral code.

Causes of Crime

The causes of crime are multifaceted, involving biological, psychological, and sociological factors. Biological theories suggest genetic predispositions towards criminal behaviour. Psychological theories focus on the individual’s mental processes and their interaction with the environment. Sociological theories, on the other hand, emphasize societal structures and inequalities as major crime contributors.

Law Enforcement and Crime

Law enforcement agencies play a crucial role in maintaining order, preventing crime, and ensuring justice. They function as a deterrent, keeping potential criminals in check. However, their effectiveness is contingent upon their ability to adapt to evolving criminal tactics.

In conclusion, crime is a societal issue with deep roots in individual and social structures. Understanding its nature and causes is key to formulating effective strategies for prevention and control. As society evolves, so too must our approach to understanding and combating crime.

500 Words Essay on Crime

Crime, a social and legal concept, has been a part of human society since its inception. It refers to the actions that violate the norms and laws of a society, leading to harm or potential harm to individuals or the community. The study of crime, its causes, effects, and prevention, is a crucial aspect of sociology, psychology, and criminology.

Crime is a complex phenomenon, varying across societies and times. It is not static but evolves with societal norms and legal frameworks. What may be considered a crime in one society may not be in another, and similarly, what was a crime in the past might not be so today. For instance, homosexuality was once criminalized in many societies, but it is now widely accepted and decriminalized.

Types of Crime

Crimes are generally categorized into personal crimes, property crimes, inchoate crimes, statutory crimes, and financial crimes. Personal crimes involve direct harm or threat to an individual, such as assault or robbery. Property crimes involve interfering with another person’s property, like burglary or theft. Inchoate crimes are those that were started but not completed, while statutory crimes are violations of specific statutes. Financial crimes, such as fraud or embezzlement, involve the illegal conversion of property ownership.

The causes of crime are multifaceted, often interwoven with societal, psychological, and economic factors. Poverty, lack of education, substance abuse, and family violence are some common societal factors leading to crime. Psychological factors include personality disorders, low self-control, and aggression. Economic factors, such as unemployment or income inequality, also contribute significantly to crime rates.

Effects of Crime

Crime prevention strategies are as diverse as the causes of crime. They include social strategies, such as improving education and employment opportunities, and legal strategies, such as effective law enforcement and fair judicial systems. Psychological interventions, like counseling and therapy, can also play a significant role in crime prevention.

Understanding crime is essential to creating a safe and harmonious society. By examining its nature, types, causes, effects, and prevention, we can develop effective strategies to reduce crime rates and mitigate its impact on individuals and communities. It is a collective responsibility that requires the concerted efforts of individuals, communities, and governments.

Crime As A Social Problem: How To Write An Essay?

Jared Houdi

Table of Contents

title for crime essay

Nevertheless, the key to solving the problem lays deeply in it and only through research of every aspect of the problem it can be found. That is exactly why this topic is so popular! You have endless scopes to discover, various information to collect, numerous questions to find answers to, and freedom to compose any personal topic dealing with crime.

But still, all essays on crime are similar to their aim – to discover and to help. You need to realize that any cause-effect connections you may find can indeed help to understand the problem better, develop new methods of preventing, reducing or dealing with crimes and criminals and reveal many other useful things.

How to write crime essay?

Writing an essay on crime is almost the same as writing any other essay. However, remember that you need to be extremely precise with the information you include in your essay – it’s better to check the trustworthiness and accuracy of everything you decided to take on the Internet. What’s more, it is a good idea to rely on statistics and numbers.

Moreover, it is better to choose a specific topic for your essay – that’s how you make it informative and newsworthy. Picking too broad topic will result in writing about everything and nothing. At the same time, choosing a narrow topic may be difficult to write due to the lack of available information.

So, analyze your topic and find the golden middle. These are the main differences in a crime essay.

Here are some basic recommendations:

  • Come up with the topic – not too narrow, not too broad, most importantly – interesting for you.
  • Write an outline and stick to it – any essay needs to be structured both for easier writing and for better perception.
  • Be interested in what you write about.

The best structure for the essay on crime

Any essay should contain three parts – introduction, main body, and conclusion. They may also consist of paragraphs for better understanding while reading. So when you have finally decided on your topic, it is nice to make an outline – it is where all parts of your essay will be highlighted.

Here is a free example of an outline for the essay “Correlations of criminal behavior”:

1. Introduction – here you present all the background information needed to understand your ideas, it is the basis of your research. You may also give some definitions if needed.

2. The main body – to state all your ideas.

  • Gender – discover who does more crimes, men or women. Try to explain or find explanations for the question “why”.
  • Race and immigration – examine people of which race is more likely than others committing crimes. Also, explore how can the status of immigrant influence criminality.
  • Early life – enumerate which factors in early life may be associated with committing crimes later. These may include trauma, family size and relations, alcohol and drug addiction in the family, bullying, low school performance, and many others.
  • Religion – there are a few studies about how religiosity may influence criminality. Discover whether religion increase or decrease crime, how and why. Maybe, different religions have different effects.
  • Political ideology – explore various political ideologies and how they encourage people to behave themselves. Are there any which obviously push people into committing a crime?
  • Psychological traits – explain how psychological background may influence a person. Describe some mental illnesses which may make people aggressive and destructive. Find some statistics to prove your statements.
  • Socioeconomic factors – examine people of which social or economic status are more prone to commit a crime, why? Explain also how the economic situation in family, city, and country may influence criminality. You may even write a poverty and crime essay.

3. Conclusion – make a derivation of everything you have stated. Keep in mind that no new ideas or statements are needed here.

4. References – add a list of the sources you have used in your essay (if needed).

Causes of crime essay

It is doubtless that the government and authorities try to prevent crimes (which is a great idea, by the way!).

Nevertheless, it is still occurring.

The problem with this is that the majority of people can’t understand where it all comes from. To cope with the problem we need to spread the awareness of why crime is done because “just insanity” isn’t usually the answer.

If you decided to write such an essay, here are some ideas for you to consider in your essay:

  • Physical abnormalities – it is still believed that people who encounter some features of appearance are more likely to commit a crime. It is stated that these people have smaller heads, bigger jaws, and ears and are of a certain weight and height. Another determining factor is race.
  • Mental illnesses and psychological disorders – there are some illnesses which make people generally more aggressive.
  • Social and economic factors – it is a well-known fact that people of lower social status commit more crimes. The same is with the economy – the poorer the country is, the more crime is committed.
  • Income and education – it was revealed that educated people are less likely to commit a crime compared to those who are uneducated. What is more, unemployment is regarded as one of the most widespread reasons for crime.
  • White-collar crime – it is a prevalent crime among deputies and high officials. They include bribery, abuse of status, bureaucracy, and others.

Hate crime essay: what’s best to cover?

Hate crime is committed against a group of people or someone who belongs to it. As a rule, race and religion are the main factors. Hate crime itself is a violent act towards a person or a group of people due to their affiliation with a group or organization.

Thousands of people all around the world are suffering since they just profess the religion someone doesn’t like, have another color of skin or encounter some even less noticeable differences. Consider writing a does the death penalty deter crime essay in this context.

Thus this type of crime is indeed worth highlighting. Here is a free sample for you to pick some ideas.

Cybercrime essay: several hints

Cybercrime is a relatively new problem which develops with the Internet and technologies. Only fifteen years ago there wasn’t such a problem. However, it is expected that the global cost of cybercrime will surmount $6 trillion!

Most widespread types of cybercrime include fraud, hacking, identity theft, scamming, computer viruses, ransomware, DDoS attack, botnets, spamming, phishing, social engineering, malvertising, cyberstalking, software piracy, cyberbullying and many others.

This is why the topic is really up-to-date. So you may look through this free example to know where to begin this broad topic.

Final thoughts

All in all, crime is a newsworthy scope to explore and write essays on. Unfortunately, crimes are constantly occurring, and there are lots of information and statistics you may need to discover some specific questions.

Don’t hesitate to examine something you’re really interested in, no matter how “important” it is considered! Good luck!

Can’t wait to fight all the crime around the globe? We’ll help! Order your perfect essay on crime and cut yourself free for anything you have on your mind.
