Driven by a fierce sense of justice, Ji-woo (Lee Si-young) is a female detective who doesn’t play by the rules in a world where cops are now assisted by AI software that feeds data straight through their eyes. Defiant, she trusts her good old human instinct against the better advice of the invasive computers, eventually failing to arrest a criminal. Her superiors decide to leave her no choice but to work with a new recruit: a holographic AI partner, the handsome Seo Nang, directly implanted in her brain! Together, the odd couple haas to solve a difficult murder case. Hilarity doesn’t ensue.

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.
