    Exceptional

    Absolutely loved this! Amazing plot, excellent acting and a title that lives up to its name! Definitely deserves the 10 stars I've just given it.

    Every part of it is tightly wrapped up into six well scripted episodes. Each one delves deeper into the twisted and despicable characters laid before you, all interwoven into each others stories with a web that just seems to get bigger as you get further in.

    Six episodes was just enough, anymore would have been pointless and could have ruined the amazing atmosphere that was carefully created. This series has cemented itself into my top 10 of all time.

    Amazing plot

    If you're looking for a captivating Korean drama, I highly recommend "Karma." This series skillfully blends themes of fate and revenge, following a young woman whose life takes a dark turn after a tragic incident. The character development is outstanding, drawing you into the protagonist's emotional journey.

    The lead's performance is particularly powerful, making her struggles feel real and relatable. The cinematography enhances the story beautifully, balancing intense moments with reflective scenes.

    Each episode is packed with tension and unexpected twists, keeping you on the edge of your seat. If you enjoy psychological thrillers and gripping storytelling, "Karma" is a must-watch!

    Karma🔥

    Karma" presents a complex narrative that intertwines the lives of its characters through themes of fate and consequence. While the series boasts strong performances and a thought-provoking plot.

    This drama has only six episodes, but each one is so intense that I couldn't stop, that's why I binge-watched it. I love every single episode. The actors truly brought their roles to life.

    Each character has an intriguing story, and everyone is closely intertwined in unexpected twists. The title Karma perfectly captures the essence of the drama.

    Storytelling, acting, suspense, background music, cinematography, pacing, and even its concise format-this drama is a perfect 10/10. I wholeheartedly urge you to watch Karma 2025, especially if this genre aligns with your interests or if you're looking to explore something new.

    10/10

    My title is 10/10 because this mini serie is insanely good , top notch , same quality level as Fargo and 1st season of True Detective , I don't write many reviews but for this one i had to take the time; i am actually surprised that other reviews would only give it 7 or 8 stars as for me this is a 9 or 10 without hesitation.

    The plot is a bit complexe but still ok to follow you just have to make sure which is character is who and does what.

    The twists and turns were brilliantly executed, keeping me hooked as I tried to piece everything together like an intricate puzzle. Not a single character or storyline felt wasted, and by the end, all loose ends were tied up seamlessly.

    A must watch , and once again as the title says it's a definite 10 out of 10.

    A Brutal, Beautiful Spiral of Consequence - One of 2025's Darkest Surprises

    Karma isn't just another crime thriller-it's a slow descent into the darkest corners of fate, choice, and consequence. Director Lee Il-hyung (also the writer) crafts a lean, six-episode experience that wastes no time, offering tension-drenched storytelling and character work that hits harder than expected.

    Adapted from the webtoon Ill-fated Relationship, the series weaves together the lives of six people, all trapped in a tangled web of past trauma, financial desperation, and irreversible decisions. Park Hae-soo leads with a quiet intensity, playing a man who makes a morally ambiguous choice after witnessing a strange accident. Shin Min-a gives one of her strongest performances as a doctor haunted by childhood scars, and the supporting cast-Lee Hee-joon, Kim Sung-kyun, Lee Kwang-soo, and Gong Seung-yeon-deliver equally raw, nuanced performances.

    This show thrives in its atmosphere. Everything from the cinematography to the pacing feels calculated but never cold. It doesn't spoon-feed you emotions or moral answers; it just shows you what people do when they're cornered by life-and lets you sit with it.

    Brutal. Thoughtful. Unforgiving. That's Karma. It might not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate grounded, character-driven thrillers that respect the audience's intelligence, it's easily one of 2025's standout series. Don't sleep on this one.
