Karma is directed by Lee Il-hyung based on Kakao webtoon of the same name. This marks Lee’s TV directorial debut after previously helming the box office hit movie A Violent Prosecutor. It is a production by Moonlight Film, Baram Pictures, and Kakao Entertainment.
“The story centers around a fateful accident, which intertwines six lives in a tale of karma and crime, where each must face their own dark truths and connections,” reads the official synopsis. “The characters include: a desperate debtor who uncovers a 500 million won insurance policy on his father’s life and begins plotting; a woman who comes face-to-face with the source of her darkest nightmares; and a reckless driver who tries to erase evidence of his crime, only to find himself at the mercy of a witness demanding hush money.”
