Is it worth it

Six episodes, no fat, and a genuinely clever twist on the manga: the parasite that only partly took her over can surface for fifteen minutes at a time, which turns every fight into a countdown. Jeon So Nee plays two things at once and never blurs them, and Koo Kyo Hwan is the reason to stay. The task force scenes are stock and the gore is heavy enough to matter if that bothers you. Best Korean science fiction horror on Netflix, and it respects your evening.

When unidentified parasites violently take over human hosts and gain power, humanity must rise to combat the growing threat.
