The genre of drama, also known as "dramatics" in Dutch, encompasses a wide range of stories that explore the emotional and psychological development of characters. 

These stories often focus on intense human emotions, conflicts and relationships. They can take place in a variety of settings, ranging from everyday situations to historical events or fantasy worlds. The purpose of dramatic stories is often to make the viewer reflect on human nature, ethics and morality, and to evoke emotional responses such as empathy, sympathy or reflection. Typical elements of the drama genre include complex characters, intriguing plots, and emotionally charged dialogue.
