Nice and twisty
Karma does not unfurl itself along a straight path. Rather, it bobs & weaves, goes up and down hills, and around the bend only to come back to the beginning. The entire story takes place in a month. Within that month thee is ....well alot. And it's all tied together with a big red box.
The story is creatively done and well written. I enjoyed guessing. To me the biggest reveal came almost at the end. My mouth dropped because I couldn't believe I had forgotten and didn't put it together. At first I was a little annoyed if not put off by the filming technique. I'm not sure it needed to look old school, but I think it looks vintage and gritty, but to me it just looks like Korean movies from the late 90's early 00's. That's my only production complaint. The cast was excellent. They worked like a well oiled machine. They were a true ensemble with no one sticking their head up far above everyone else's.
The music was suspenseful and pushed the episodes along. I don't really re-watch and I don't feel the need to re-watch this even thought it's only 6 episodes. I'm not the type to sit and analyze to see what I missed. If you are, have at it. I'm sure it'll be worth it.
Overall, I'd give Karma an 8.5-9. Yeah there are dramas that are better, but there are hundreds in similar genres that are worse. I enjoyed it. nuff said.
