It's the story of investigative journalists rushing with cameras to reveal the evil of
society.

Humor and wit are everywhere while touching serious social problems like cults and violent incidents.

Actress Kim Hye-soo, who played as the team leader of the investigative report, performs well with her unique slick acting.

Other top stars are also knocking on their home doors with a variety of OTT works this year.

Joo Ji-hoon, who became a genius doctor, returns to Netflix drama 'Severe Trauma Center' this month,
Disney Plus 'Polaris', in which
Kang Dong-won and Jun Ji-hyun 'Dream Two-Shots' were made, will also be released within this year.The Squid Game series, in which every step of

became the history of Korean content, will also release season 3 as early as this summer, marking the long-awaited finale.
