Blind

 

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

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!

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!
