What would be a literary equivalent of a makjang drama? (I'll explain) And do you see the masterpieces I list in that way?

Most of you might not know about makjang drama (I myself found about it yesterday): it's a Korean term used to describe highly sensational, over-the-top television series with extreme plot twists, melodrama, and morally outrageous behavior, where plot takes precedence over plausibility, making it absurd yet addictive.

Using a research tool to find examples of literary equivalent of the makjang drama, it pointed a couple of times to:

• Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
• Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
• The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
• The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
• Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
• Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

I only have read two of those, and I can only admit that The Count is indeed very lucky to get such revenge, but it still feels a far-stretch to call this a 'makjang'.

For a second, because of absurd, over-the-top plot twists and unlikely coincidences, I thought of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but I got corrected fast: Makjang dramas are emotionally heavy and thrive on melodrama, while Hitchhiker’s Guide is irreverent, whimsical, and comedic.

Maybe my question is flawed at its core, with the definition of makjang pointing to something inherently nonliterary?

I'll try again, if you can help me. I still have hope, thinking there's a great potential here that must have been implemented with skills by a master, seen as a piece of literature, and still achieving a high makjangness level.

The common trope in makjang dramas are:

• Birth Secrets
• Revenge Plots
• Fake Deaths and Resurrections
• Love Triangles (or Pentagons)
• Extramarital Affairs
• Amnesia
• Rich vs. Poor Dynamics
• Chaebol Power Struggles (those big conglomerates)
• Plastic Surgery and Disguises
• Illnesses and Accidents
• Over-the-Top Villains
• Cliffhangers and Shocking Revelations
• Overlapping Tragedies

So, does the exploratory question of this post inspires you?

Thank for your time reading!
