Upcoming Crime Thriller K-Drama "I'm Watching" Aims To Reinvent The Genre

A new TVING original crime series I’m Watching is scheduled to be released in August! To top it off, it appears that the series is attempting to create a new genre they are calling “crime factual drama.”

It appears this genre may be similar to the English “true-crime” genre as it deals with the details of a crime realistically. The K-Drama is expected to experiment with a new show composition by expressing it in a CCTV format (security camera view).

In particular, the directors hope to deliver a new perspective as it will feel like the audience is watching the crimes instead of focusing on a victim or perpetrator’s perspective. It is said to be directed by Lee Won Hyung and Kim Se Hun.

In the midst of numerous crimes, we will fulfill our role as a new watcher by observing crimes through the eyes of society, not from the perspective of victims and perpetrators.
