Storyline

The story involves a man who makes an irreversible deal after witnessing a mysterious accident, a doctor who has a lifelong trauma from the incident she experienced as a child and meets someone she didn’t want to see again, a debt-ridden man who invested in cryptocurrency by borrowing money from private lenders in hopes of striking gold but ended up in debt with negative returns, and a man who loses his job unfairly and falls into the trap of bad luck when he receives a request for a large sum of money. Each of them becomes deeply intertwined, seemingly by an ill-fated relationship.

About Karma TV Series

Karma (Korean: 악연) is an upcoming South Korean crime thriller television series written and directed by Lee Il-hyung, and starring Park Hae-soo, Shin Min-a, Lee Hee-joon, Kim Sung-kyun, Lee Kwang-soo, and Gong Seung-yeon.

It was announced in July 2023 that Lee Il-hyung, the director and writer of A Violent Prosecutor (2016) and Remember (2022), will adapt Choi Hee-seon’s 2019 serialized Kakao Webtoon Ill-fated Relationship into a six-episode drama. The production was overseen by Kakao Entertainment, Baram Pictures, and Moonlight Film.

Star News revealed in August 2023 that Park Hae-soo and Shin Min-a will both be appearing in the series. Both Shin and Park’s agencies responded to the report by saying they were considering the offer favorably.

A month later, Park, Shin, Lee Hee-joon, Kim Sung-kyun, Lee Kwang-soo, and Gong Seung-yeon were confirmed by Netflix as part of the ensemble cast of the crime thriller series.
