After releasing a few back-to-back romantic K-Dramas, Netflix is all set to offer its viewers something new and exciting. The streaming giant will bring a mystery thriller series about 8 people, who attend a game show that shockingly changes their lives. Based on Money Game and Pie Game webtoons, The 8 Show is an upcoming K-Drama, which is written by Bae Jin-Soo.

When to watch The 8 Show

Netflix’s strategy has always worked quite well with the thriller genre. After the immense success of Queen of Tears, The 8 Show is no doubt going to be another record-breaker for the streaming giant. Hence, keep an eye on Netflix, as the thriller K-Drama is coming soon on May 17, 2024.

About The 8 Show

The 8 Show follows 8 individuals, who are desperately in need of money. One fine morning, they are offered to participate in a reality game show named, Money Game, which will fulfil their dreams along with a staggering 44.8 billion Won (Korean currency). However, the real twist is that the participants must endure 100 days inside a concrete studio with absolutely nothing inside to keep them company. As the days pass by, the contestants will be forced to confront not only the harsh realities of their confinement but also the complexities of human nature under duress. If they can hang in there for 100 days, they can divide the winning prize equally among them.

What does the teaser show?

The announcement video shows a dark theatre hall with a young man walking towards the stage and the spotlight follows him. He finds a red envelope on a table after reaching the stage. Then he enters backstage and finds a weird empty room. Soon the other members are introduced one by one and they also open the envelopes. The red envelopes are actually the invitations for the game.

Lastly, the video introduces all the star-cast, including Ryu Jun-Yeol, Cheon Woo-Hee, Park Jeong-Min, Lee Yul-Eum, Park Hae-Jun, Lee Joo-Young, Moon Jeong-Hee, and Bae Seong-Woo.

Ryu Jun-Yeol's infamous controversy

For the unversed, Ryu Jun-Yeol has been making huge headlines for the past few months, after his ex-girlfriends Lee Hye-Ri and Han So-Hee shared their private matters about their relationship with Jun-Yeol on social media. While some supported Hye-Ri, a few supported So-Hee. But the maximum number of netizens threw dirt at Jun-Yeol. K-netizens are truly one of a kind, and their backlashes are so powerful that one’s whole life and career could be shattered. Though many months have gone by since the incident, this love triangle is still the hottest topic in the Korean industry.

This incident can surely be another reason that could pave the way for the success of The 8 Show, and bring huge viewership for Netflix.
