Based on the popular webtoon “Ill-fated Relationship” by Choi Hee-seon, the series kicks off with one man’s desperate move to pay off a dangerous loan shark. That one choice spirals into a web of destruction that ties together six strangers – each dragged into a vortex of crime, guilt and irreversible decisions. No one is left unscathed.

Directed by Lee Il-hyung, “Karma” thrives on its slow-burn tension and gut-punch reveals. Lee brings together a powerhouse cast led by Park Hae-soo of “Squid Game.”

He’s joined by Lee He-jun and Shin Min-a – names already beloved by K-drama fans for their roles in hits like “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha,” “It’s Okay, That’s Love” and “Six Flying Dragons.”

What sets “Karma” apart is its exploration of the butterfly effect. How one wrong turn can snowball into something far greater.

As the series unfolds, viewers are left to ask themselves: Is redemption even possible when the damage is already done?
