Blind
Taecyeon must really love psychological thrillers because he’s back in another murder mystery.

Voice

This series was such a hit that it was actually brought back for three more seasons. Of course, nothing beats the first installment. Voice stars Jang Hyuk as Moo Jin-hyuk, a hot-shot detective who goes into a spiral after his wife was brutally murdered while he was out with his coworkers. That night, Kang Kwon-joo (played by Lee Ha-na) is the one who receives a distress call from Jin-hyuk’s wife and hears her policeman father getting killed as he responds to the crime scene.
Years later, the two are reunited in the “Golden Time Team” response unit to solve cases, each one more twisted and chilling as the next. Together, they also try to track down the serial killer responsible for their loved ones’ deaths. Stream Voice on Viu Premium with PLDT Home!

This award-winning series (which bagged three wins at the 2021 Baeksang Arts Awards) stars Yeo Jin-goo and veteran actor Shin Ha-kyun as two cops who reluctantly pair up to catch a serial killer terrorizing a peaceful town. The twists and turns will have you thinking that everyone can be the killer while discovering that not everything is as it seems in the sleepy (and creepy!) town.

This supernatural thriller, co-written by Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho only has six episodes, but each one will keep you watching with bated breath. It stars Koo Gyo-hwan as an occult expert who heads to Jinyang County to investigate a cursed “Gwibul,” a Buddhist statue possessed by an evil spirit. There, he reunites with his archaeologist ex-wife, Lee Soo-jin (played by Shin Hyun-been), and they work together to put an end to the bizarre and gruesome deaths that have befallen the village.

Happiness

Okay, it’s another “zombie” drama from Korea, but trust us when we say this apocalyptic thriller will keep you invested from the first episode to the very last. Set in the post-COVID-era, the series feels close to home and plays on our fear and mutual distrust of people in the wake of a pandemic.
It stars Park Hyung-sik and Han Hyo-joo as Jung Yi-hyun and Yoon Sae-bom, respectively, childhood friends who enter a contract marriage and suddenly find themselves struggling to survive a zombie outbreak while trapped with other residents in the high-rise apartment they live in. It’s fresh and brilliant, with enough plot twists to keep you hooked. Don’t believe us? Stream Happiness on Viu Premium with PLDT Home!
