Definitely one of the first K-zombie series that gained worldwide fame is "Train to Busan."

Although it has a ton of running away from the zombies and fights scenes, the 2016 film starring Gong Yoo left viewers wanting more. 

It follows the story of a doting father who gave his life for his daughter and other passengers to survive amid the horde of flesh-eating creatures.

If you are looking for K-contents with an intensely heartbreaking plot, then "Miracle in Cell No. 7" should be number one on your bucket list. 

In the 2013 movie, the story depicts the relationship of mentally challenged father Lee Yong Gu, played by Ryu Seung Ryong and his adorable daughter Lee Ye Seung, portrayed by Gal So Won.

His father was imprisoned due to a crime that he didn't commit. With this, he got sentenced with death penalty after allegedly raping and killing a child. 

However, his period inside the cell got interesting after his prison mates helped his daughter get in to spend sometime before his d-day.
