What makes Parasyte: The Grey worth watching
Yeon Sang-ho extends Hitoshi Iwaaki's manga into Korea.
Parasyte: The Grey represents a strong example of south korea horror 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 Horror and Sci-Fi elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Jeon So-nee, Koo Kyo-hwan, Lee Jung-hyun, with strong supporting work from Kwon Hae-hyo. It originally aired on Netflix, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
