Netflix has released a new trailer for its upcoming Korean thriller limited series, Karma, teasing the show's complex plot and characters whose lives intertwine after a fateful accident. Karma stars Park Hae-soo, Shin Min-a, Kim Sung-kyun, Lee Hee-jun, Lee Kwang-soo, and Gong Seung-yeon.
The new trailer opens with a chilling request, as a man can be heard pleading, “I need you to kill someone. My father.” A car accident happens, bringing together a crew of characters who learn that they have more in common than what they initially thought. Watch the new trailer for Karma here:
A figure from Shin Min-ah's character's traumatic past haunts her. Meanwhile, a character played by Park Hae-soo is pulled into a complex web of the other characters after witnessing a crime committed by one of them. It looks like their stories will be entangled in unexpected ways, so we can expect some serious plot twists in this thriller.
The newly-released poster also features the show's tagline: "Twisted by fate. Doomed by destiny."
Karma is written and directed by Lee Il-hyung, the filmmaker behind the box office hit A Violent Prosecutor.
What is Netflix's Karma about?
Karma is based on the Kakao webtoon of the same title, and it's described as a high-tension crime thriller about six people who are caught in an unbreakable karmic loop, each bound by reckless choices that spiral out of control.
The characters of Karma include: a woman who confronts with the source of her darkest nightmares, a desperate debtor who finds a 500 million won insurance policy on his father’s life and begins plotting, and a reckless driver who attempts to remove the evidence of his crime, only to get trapped at the mercy of a witness demanding hush money.
Park Hae-soo (Prison Playbook, Squid Game) plays the role of the Witness, Shin Min-a (Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha) as Ju-yeon, Kim Sung-kyun (Reply 1994) as Gil-ryong, and Lee Hee-jun (The Man Standing Next) as the Debtor. Gong Seung-yeon (The First Responders) portrays Yu-jeong, and Lee Kwang-soo (Running Man) stars as Glasses.
Karma is confirmed to have a total of 8 episodes, and they're produced by Moonlight Film, Baram Pictures and Kakao Entertainment with Netflix.
