A pimp turned amateur detective realizes one of his clients has been killing his girls.

What makes The Chaser worth watching

Na Hong-jin's ferocious debut.

The Chaser represents a strong example of south korea crime from the 2008 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 Kim Yoon-seok, Ha Jung-woo, Seo Young-hee. It originally aired on Showbox, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
