01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

A man drowning in debt makes a terrible decision. A doctor hides a secret that could end her career. A loan shark, a witness, a victim and a stranger each make their own choices on the same night, and none of them knows how tightly their lives are about to tangle. Karma follows six people whose fates are bound together by a single accident, as lies, debts and old wounds pull them toward each other again and again. Every episode reveals a new connection, and every connection makes the knot tighter. Based on the webtoon by Choi Hee-sun, Karma premiered on Netflix on April 4, 2025, in six episodes, starring Park Hae-soo, Shin Min-a, Lee Hee-joon, Kim Sung-kyun, Lee Kwang-soo and Gong Seung-yeon. It is a dark crime thriller about cause and effect, where nobody is innocent and nobody escapes what they set in motion. The six-episode format keeps every twist tight, with no wasted scenes at all.
