It’s the end of days… in one week. As our extinction draws nigh, some people just go about their daily routine while others try to think of ways to save the world. Rumors of individuals with unique psychic abilities run wild. Despite the apocalyptic prospect, Nam-woo can only think of how he’s about to die a bachelor. But romance shows up in the unexpected guise of the lovely Hyehwa. Whether or not they will connect and give each other’s true love’s kiss might also be the key to saving the world. Or not.

Praised as the Korean Black Mirror, SF8 is exemplary of the new wave of prestige TV fiction that’s found its best expression with shows like HBO’s Westworld or the aforementioned British series, where the lines between small and big screen media meld into a revolutionary visual grammar. An ambitious movie-drama crossover project between MBC, the Directors Guild of Korea, the OTT platform Wavve and the production company Soo Film, this series of stand-alone anticipation tales takes sci-fi to the next level. SF8 was released on Wavve in July while MBC started airing it on August 14.
