From K-Dramas To Animations, 5 Film Genres That Are My Guilty Pleasure

It took me some time to realise my love for thriller films. And well, that only came after I watch a bunch of movies in that genre. Like everyone else, even I started by watching some of the classics like Shutter Island and Interstellar. This is my go-to genre any day and anytime, and it is something I will never say “No” to. However, in my personal time, when I am in the mood of relaxing and not stress myself out, I watch films from my favourite guilty pleasure genres. And tbh, I have also come to realise that I can enjoy these genres only when I am watching them alone, and not in anyone’s company! From Kdramas to Horror comedies, there are chances that even you might find this list relatable!

Cheesy RomComs!
Well, the fact that people want to escape reality by watching movies stands very true for me in this case. Since I don’t have a “Love Life”, I take the happiness out of it by watching cheesy and unrealistic romantic films. Movies in which, the lead actors meet in an unexpected setting and fall in love with each other, like a walk in the park. When I feel low and crave to watch some romantic, lovey-dovey films, I turn to romantic Christmas movies etc.

K-Dramas!
Obsessed is the word here for me! K-dramas are clearly by top choice when it comes to guilty pleasures. It gives me all kinds of emotions. It makes me cry, and laugh and of course makes me wish for such adorable love stories in my life too! Even if these K-dramas have a happy ending in their love stories, the kind of maturity and development shown through the characters is commendable. And of course, the K-drama men! I am short of words here, actually! A genre that I truly enjoy binge-watching alone!

Horror Comedies
Zombieland is one of my favourite films in this genre. The best part about good horror comedies is that it will make you laugh and even jump out of the bed at times. It is a perfect genre for me to watch when I want to laugh at nonsensical scenes happening on my screen!

Animated movies
This genre is literally a stress buster! They are cute and even have a beautiful story to tell! That’s what makes my guilty pleasure of watching this genre worth it! Coco is one animated film close to my heart.

High-School Romances!
Well, I might be judged for this but yes it had to come on my guilty pleasure genres list! High-school romance has very first-world problems, and I most of the time do not connect with those teen problems, however, it’s just a “Feel-good” genre actually!
