Netflix has unleashed a storm with Karma, the latest Korean crime thriller that’s grabbing attention for being just the right kind of unhinged. It dropped like a bomb this month, and fans haven’t looked back ever since. Tension, blood, betrayal, it’s a wild carousel that keeps spinning, dragging six strangers into a grim waltz of cause and consequence.
Six Strangers, One Vicious Cycle, and Zero Escape
At the center of the series is a broke man who suddenly sees dollar signs in his father’s life insurance and hatches a dangerous plan. Meanwhile, a woman is cornered by her own worst fears, while a hit-and-run driver finds himself at the mercy of a blackmailer who saw too much. It’s less about who they are and more about the terrible choices that lock them into a shared spiral of destruction.
Based on the hit Kakao webtoon, the series boasts Lee Il-hyung as writer and director, known for his work on the box office hit A Violent Prosecutor. Starring in this twisted tale are Park Hae-soo as the Witness, Shin Min-ah as Ju-yeon, Lee Hee-jun playing the Debtor, with Kim Sung-kyun as Gil-ryong and Lee Kwang-soo (famous from Running Man) taking on the role of Glasses. Gong Seung-yeon joins as Yu-jeong.
