Synopsis
A secret-service agent hunts the serial killer who murdered his fiancée — and refuses to let him die.
What makes I Saw the Devil worth watching
Kim Jee-woon's most extreme thriller.
I Saw the Devil represents a strong example of south korea thriller from the 2010 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 Thriller and Crime elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Lee Byung-hun, Choi Min-sik. It originally aired on Showbox, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
