Karma (South Korea) Karma is a fast-paced and emotionally intense film that dives deep into the flaws and dark instincts of human nature. It's brutal, violent, and unflinching, yet captivating from start to finish. The storytelling is sharp and relentless, with no wasted scenes. Each moment adds tension and depth, making the experience unforgettable. While not easy to watch, the film is thought-provoking and delivers a powerful message about consequences and the human psyche. A must-see for fans of raw and uncompromising cinema.

The cast includes seven well-known Korean stars: Park Hae-soo, Shin Min-a, Lee Hee-joon, Kim Sung-kyun, Lee Kwang-soo, Gong Seung-yeon, and Choi Yoo-hwa - each delivering strong, memorable performances.

If you're looking for a captivating Korean drama, I highly recommend "Karma." This series skillfully blends themes of fate and revenge, following a young woman whose life takes a dark turn after a tragic incident. The character development is outstanding, drawing you into the protagonist's emotional journey.

The lead's performance is particularly powerful, making her struggles feel real and relatable. The cinematography enhances the story beautifully, balancing intense moments with reflective scenes.

Each episode is packed with tension and unexpected twists, keeping you on the edge of your seat. If you enjoy psychological thrillers and gripping storytelling, "Karma" is a must-watch!

I just stumbled on this show and only was going to watch an episode to check it out. I had no previous knowledge of this show or the cast.

I was hooked after the first episode and binge watched the entire series in one shot. While this is a series, it feels more like a long movie. When a series gives you that sensation, its probably because its really good.

Had to look up the movie since I was curious about it and it seems to be based on a kakao webtoon of the same name, which kind of explains why the story is so well thought out. The way the series was edited was really well done but I felt like they gave away too much and it became obvious at a certain point what was ending was going to be. The story is edited in a back and forth time jump, perhaps to confuse the viewer with overly abundant details so that the ending wouldn't be obvious.

I really enjoyed the story. Basically a vengeance story with a satisfying ending. I haven't read it so I'm not sure if the webtoon was this intricate in laying down the backstory for each character, then intertwining them together but thats how this series turned out. The script was just really well done and edited.

There were a few things I felt could have been done differently. The subtitles are terrible, sometimes its better to write the true, more direct translation instead of interpreting it as what it would be the most similar in english. Even if it doesn't make complete sense or the grammar is incorrect, I think the audience would better understand.

Second issue was the overly vivid and exaggerated colors used in the film. This has become very common place in kpop music videos and alot of korean movies since Snowpiercer, its also very common in korean TV. I thought it in this application, it diminished the theme a little bit. The effect works when you want to present a surreal environment but doesn't work so well in this dark thriller drama.

Setting is top notch. Beautiful background of the clean modern techno city that is Seoul but also that gritty grimey alleyway Gotham like city that is also Seoul.

Highly recommend this series.

Korean TV shows have a well-earned reputation for deep, layered storytelling-and Karma takes that legacy and turns it up a notch. When it comes to jaw-dropping twists and turns, this series doesn't just meet expectations-it raises the bar.

From the very first episode, Karma grips you and doesn't let go. What makes it even more impressive is how it weaves multiple storylines together-each compelling on its own-without ever feeling messy or overwhelming. It all ties together beautifully in the end, leaving you both satisfied and impressed.

The direction is sharp, the pacing is spot on, and the acting hits the mark at every turn. You can tell the creators knew exactly what they were doing-and they executed it with precision.

All in all, this is easily one of the best Korean TV shows on Netflix right now. If you love layered narratives and smart storytelling, Karma is a must-watch.

Absolutely loved this! Amazing plot, excellent acting and a title that lives up to its name! Definitely deserves the 10 stars I've just given it.

Every part of it is tightly wrapped up into six well scripted episodes. Each one delves deeper into the twisted and despicable characters laid before you, all interwoven into each others stories with a web that just seems to get bigger as you get further in.

Six episodes was just enough, anymore would have been pointless and could have ruined the amazing atmosphere that was carefully created. This series has cemented itself into my top 10 of all time.
