    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.

    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.

    A very well done series!

    Easily one of the finest limited Korean series of the year! Story revolves around one accident n 6 characters n how each character is intertwined to each other n to the accident. With the title Karma, story makes complete justice with numerous twists one after the other showcasing how they pay for each of their deeds. Every twist comes unexpected n difficult to guess. Though quite slow yet very neat perfect direction. A total of 6 episodes with each an average of 45 minutes. Dubbed in Hindi as well. Available in Netflix, my ratings 8.5/10!

    Karma - Twists, Tension, and Top-Tier Storytelling

    Korean TV shows have a well-earned reputation for deep, layered storytelling-and Karma takes that legacy and turns it up a notch. When it comes to jaw-dropping twists and turns, this series doesn't just meet expectations-it raises the bar.

    From the very first episode, Karma grips you and doesn't let go. What makes it even more impressive is how it weaves multiple storylines together-each compelling on its own-without ever feeling messy or overwhelming. It all ties together beautifully in the end, leaving you both satisfied and impressed.

    The direction is sharp, the pacing is spot on, and the acting hits the mark at every turn. You can tell the creators knew exactly what they were doing-and they executed it with precision.

    All in all, this is easily one of the best Korean TV shows on Netflix right now. If you love layered narratives and smart storytelling, Karma is a must-watch.

    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.
