No one plays the streaming game like Netflix does. And even when its streaming counterparts step up to its palette, Netflix sure knows where to take a turn to ensure no one really follows. As the streaming sensation works overtime to make the Spring break a one to remember, the anticipation has taken a hike about a K-Drama, Karma, on Netflix. However, for anyone who has mistaken Karma for just another Netflix project in the library, consider this a break from that myth.

So, here are 5 things Netflix subscribers should definitely know before they hit the play button for Karma on the streaming giant.

Amidst Netflix’s expansion of its thriller vault this year, Karma on Netflix has been garnering attention in more ways than one. While the South Korean crime thriller is already available on Netflix, having just had its streaming debut on April 4, what the subscribers should know before jumping aboard for a binge-watch marathon is that the show is based on the Kakao webtoon of the same name by Choi Hee-seon.

Secondly, Karma is not only a thriller but a psychological rollercoaster which follows the entwined lives of six people whose “fateful decisions plunge them into a relentless cycle of retribution” (via Tudum). Third, the six main characters are tied by a fateful incident, but they must also confront the darkest secrets to navigate the consequences of their actions. Fourth, Karma on Netflix is already the talk of the streaming town within just a day of release. Lastly, spoiler alert, fans can expect Kim Nam-gil’s cameo appearance.

Having said that, who else makes up the cast of Karma on Netflix?

Karma has not only become a buzz magnet on Netflix because of its continuation of the streamer’s thriller trajectory this spring, but also because of the star power it takes pride in. According to Tudum’s report, Lee Hee-jun stars in Karma as the Debtor, Kim Sung-kyun as Gil-ryong, Park Hae-soo as the Witness, Shin Min-a as Ju-yeon, Lee Kwang-soo as Glasses, and Gong Seung-yeon as Yu-jeong. 

Lee II-hyung has written and directed the slow-burn thriller for Netflix. Karma has 6 episodes with an approximate running time of 47-61 minutes. Moonlight Film, Baram Pictures, and Kakao Entertainment have produced the series. As per the official synopsis, Karma follows the Debtor, who is going through a rough patch. As a loan shark gets on his tail, the Debtor hatches a scheme that eventually goes south, prompting a chain reaction of violence.
