What makes Connection worth watching
Career-best work for Ji Sung.
Connection represents a strong example of south korea crime from the 2024 production cycle. Korean studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Crime and Thriller elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Ji Sung, Jeon Mi-do, Kwon Yul. It originally aired on SBS, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
