Fans of Korean thrillers, take note — an unexpected gem has just dropped on Netflix France, and it’s already causing a stir. With a stellar rating of 8.8/10 and a plot that twists like a double helix, this K-drama is here to keep your evenings fully booked.
A surprise addition with serious credentials
Without much warning, Netflix has quietly added Nothing Uncovered to its French catalogue — a critically praised South Korean series that’s never been available in France until now. Originally aired in 2024 on KBS2 and based on a popular web novel, the drama is a delicious mix of mystery, romance, and psychological tension.
The show already made waves on Viki in other regions, where it earned glowing reviews and an impressive viewer score of 8.8/10. Now, French audiences finally get the chance to dive into a story that’s as emotionally gripping as it is elegantly crafted.
When your ex becomes your only ally
The heart of Nothing Uncovered lies in its lead character, Seo Jung-won — a high-profile journalist who seems to have it all until she’s suddenly accused of murder. With her life unraveling and her reputation on the line, Jung-won turns to the one person she never expected to rely on again: her ex-boyfriend Kim Tae-heon, a seasoned detective.
Together, they dig into a case that’s far more tangled than it first appears. But as they get closer to the truth, they’re forced to confront their past, their trust issues, and some uncomfortable home truths. Jung-won’s marriage, career and sanity are all hanging in the balance — and nothing is as it seems.
With 16 episodes, the series unfolds slowly but masterfully, using its time to build suspense, deepen character arcs, and deliver a few narrative punches you won’t see coming.
Other must-watch Korean thrillers on Netflix
If Nothing Uncovered gets you in the mood for more high-stakes drama, Netflix has a few other Korean thrillers that might just keep you up all night:
- On the Trigger: Not for the faint-hearted, this gritty series teams up a no-nonsense police officer with a gun smuggler in a desperate bid to stop an illegal arms network sweeping through South Korea. It’s raw, tense and morally complex.
- Flower of Evil: A slow-burning psychological thriller about a woman who suspects her husband of hiding a terrible secret — one that may connect him to a string of murders. A compelling blend of domestic drama and heart-pounding tension.
- Karma: This six-episode mini-series follows six strangers whose lives collide after a tragic accident. Dark, introspective, and laced with irony, it’s perfect for those who like their thrillers on the philosophical side.
Final verdict: worth the binge?
Absolutely. Nothing Uncovered brings all the hallmarks of great K-drama — sharp writing, strong performances, and emotional depth — wrapped up in a tightly woven thriller. It’s a story about perception, trust and the danger of burying secrets too deep.
So, if you’re in the mood for something smart, suspenseful and beautifully acted, this latest arrival might just become your new obsession. Just don’t blame us if you end up watching all 16 episodes in a single weekend.
