From "Karma" to "Kian’s Bizarre B&B," "When Life Gives You Tangerines," "Weak Hero Class 1," and "Resident Playbook," a total of five Korean works have made it onto the Netflix Global TOP 10 list, bringing surprise. This reflects the intense global love and keen interest in K-content and once again showcases the strength of its global box office success.

Meanwhile, the crime thriller "Karma," which revolves around six individuals entangled in a bond they cannot escape, topped the Global TOP 10 series (non-English) category in its second week of release. In particular, "Karma" recorded 4,800,000 viewership (the number of viewers divided by the work's total running time) and has made the TOP 10 list in 35 countries, captivating viewers around the world.

Domestic and international media noted, "The intricately woven character relationships and the delicately placed foreshadowing create a perfect puzzle by the end," "I highly recommend binge-watching. The method of alternating perspectives of several characters provides a richer understanding of each character's narrative through a multifaceted view," and "A valuable new addition to the list of masterpieces in Korean crime thrillers" (NDTV), adding that "this series explores the complex relationship between destiny and retribution through sharp and gritty narratives, brilliantly depicting the consequences of human actions" (India Today), praising the unique genre fun and intense development of "Karma," as well as the engaging performances of the cast.

Domestic and international viewers also commented, "Undoubtedly the best thriller I've ever seen" (YouTube pos**********), and "'Karma' is a masterpiece of storytelling. It compels you to immerse yourself as if piecing together a complex puzzle with excellent development" (IMDb sha*****) as it becomes evident that it is this year's well-made crime thriller that is hard to stop once play is pressed.

The unreleased stills released alongside capture the gaze with moments of unexpected twists featuring six characters. First, the still of "The Witness" (Park Hae-soo) dressed in a neat suit with a full-body burn reflects the consequences of his misguided desires brought about by "Karma." The still of "Joo-yeon" (Shin Min-a) in tears portrays their struggle with past trauma, raising curiosity about whether they can sever the revived "Karma" at the moment they face "The Witness."

The still of "The Loan Shark" (Lee Hee-joon) lying bound on the operating table suggests they are in a dire situation where they might die due to debt. Following this, the still of "The Loan Shark" facing "The Witness" illustrates that even those who seem completely unrelated are bound by "Karma." Additionally, the still of "Gil-ryong" (Kim Sung-kyun) with "The Witness" inside and outside prison shows how their connection, which started in prison, continues after release, ultimately entrapping them until the end in "Karma." Meanwhile, the still of "The Glasses Guy" (Lee Kwang-soo) captures the moment filled with complex emotions after discovering the truth of a traffic accident they tried to cover up, heightening the tension.

In the latter part of the series, "Yoo-jung" (Gong Seung-yeon) reveals their true face, presenting a completely different atmosphere from the early episodes. Moreover, the stills of "Jung-min" (Kim Nam-gil) and "Loan Shark" (Jo Jin-woong) add to the curiosity about another connection and bond between them. Thus, the irrevocable 'Karma' tangled among the characters draws global viewers deep into the whirlwind of "Karma."

'Karma' has maintained its popularity throughout the second week since its release, becoming the standout thriller of the year and garnering attention as a well-made crime thriller.
