The crime thriller 'Karma,' which depicts the tangled stories of six individuals caught in a karma they cannot escape from, is generating buzz as it receives acclaim from domestic and international media and fans who have previewed the work.
'Karma,' set to be released tomorrow (4th), is drawing attention as a work that will continue the legacy of Netflix, known as a 'thriller hotspot.'

It's brutal and uncomfortable, yet impossible to break away from,” and “Every character justifies evil in their own way, maximizing the unique immersion of the genre,” adding, “The storytelling is meticulous yet neat, and the genre-specific thrill is intensified after untangling the complex narrative. Netflix, the 'thriller hotspot,' has confidently introduced this new dish,” while praising the addictive directing that makes each episode's ending compel viewers to click on the next one immediately.
Internationally, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) selected 'Karma' as the best K-drama of April 2025, saying, “As the unfortunate threads entangled among the six central characters become increasingly complex, the unfolding enjoyment in the process is plentiful,” and, “The storyline is nothing short of remarkable; it is overwhelming. It continuously charges ahead, cleverly reconstructing and rewriting incidents from new perspectives, evoking awe whenever clues are revealed” (Collider), thus expressing high praise for the story of 'Karma,' which becomes more intriguing with each episode.
Meanwhile, fans who experienced the 'binge-watching preview' conducted in three cities nationwide on March 29 (Saturday) are also praising the series. Of the 293 participants who responded to a survey after the screening, a remarkable 277 answered 'Did you find 'Karma' enjoyable?' with a score of 4 or higher out of 5, in addition to comments such as, “The story was very interesting, and the actors' performances were superb!!

It’s the best series of the year,” “I want to rewatch it on April 4 to catch anything I missed,” and “I felt a thrill at the perfect resolution of the plot’s foreshadowing,” showing high satisfaction with all aspects of the series, including acting, directing, and storyline.
