Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Ha Dong-Soo (Jung Hae-In) is part of a new human race called connect. The connect beings never die. One night, Ha Dong-Soo is kidnapped by a group of human organ traffickers. His eye is cut out from him. He soon sees something and realizes the man who has his stolen eye is a serial killer. Ha Dong-Soo is now able to see what the serial killer sees. He chases after the serial killer to stop him from killing anymore people.

Meanwhile, Ha Dong-Soo’s stolen eye has been transplanted into Oh Jin-Seob (Ko Gyung-Pyo). Oh Jin-Seob looks a polite and competent employee at work, but he is actually a cold-blooded serial killer.

Lapuca May 25 2024 3:25 pm Please give us a season two!

Macel Jan 22 2024 10:24 pm When is the season 2 released? Its almost 2years after wala pa rin update?

Ineu Jan 11 2024 1:24 am This drama should still mystery and dark, dont include any romance scene. This is way more better

Lily Canna Jun 16 2023 12:16 pm Please more romantic comedy or at least romance. Jung Hae-In is too handsome to waste on mystery-crime.

Also more episodes for story development.

P7 Mar 10 2023 9:31 am Just prolog story...please producer make season 2 !!!

noor Feb 02 2023 8:04 am I Dont Want To Wait Plz just go ahead we want the season 2 faster .....waiting will make us fed up ><

Deadpool Jan 25 2023 9:12 pm If you're Not Into Gruesome and Gory then Please Skip this Drama this drama gave me a freaking nightmare when I Barely watched Episode 1 I didn't finish the whole thing because it was F*cking Disturbing. If you do like watching this type of drama then go ahead.

AC Jan 08 2023 3:32 am Very unique and interesting storyline. Solid acting from the cast, esp Jung Haein, Go Kyungpyo and Kim Roeha. Top-notch directing, cinematography and CGI. Miike Takashi did not disappoint bec nobody could've done this better than him. Connect doesn't feel like your usual kdrama. I feel it's geared towards a more international audience. My only complaint is that it was designed with season 2 in mind yet we haven't heard about s2 being confirmed. Pls, give us s2 or else I will riot.

Nia K. Haryanto Jan 03 2023 11:27 pm Interesting play. But the ending is a little disappointing. Because you have to wait for the second season. Hehehehe. I love JHI

Sam Asakura Jan 03 2023 12:39 pm We can see it's Takashi Miike's work. Very bloody.

berry.bunny Dec 29 2022 10:32 pm Waaaaaa!!!! SEASON 2 what an ending ;'(

Kara Dec 21 2022 12:21 am I love it. But please make season 2, I'm not satisfied with their ending ?

Celina Dec 19 2022 10:35 pm Not worth the risk for haein.He is a darling looking all twisted and ugly but I find it not appealing.

guki.26 Dec 19 2022 2:16 pm Please don't watch this while eating. Every scene is filled with blood. Disgusting ?

KST Dec 14 2022 12:31 pm I watched this because of Jung hae in.This drama was really amazing. The acting was really amazing and realistic.I hope season 2 will come soon.

KST Dec 14 2022 12:28 pm Actually I watched this because of Jung hae in. This was the best mini series I watched this year.The acting was rrealistic. I hope season 2 will come soon.

Demetris Dec 12 2022 12:57 pm I want season 2 and more Jung Hae-in

Nono Dec 12 2022 4:49 am Dropping this at episode 2 after watching gonkyung pyos bed wild scene I just can't help it I don't want his role to be like that it's just a NOno for me lol

Raein Dec 11 2022 9:46 pm CONNECT: Captivating beyond Genre

Binge Watched the show on day of release because of Jung Hae In. But there were so much else to like and enjoy in the series.

Pros: 1. Masterful depiction of the lonely and sensitive outsider by Jung Hae In; Cgi scenes with one eye were par excellence, 2. Director Miike's control over the medium - gory, violent but tasteful, stopping at just the right point, 3. Vvsual aesthetics, 4. Use of music. 5. Thoughtful use of symbols and underlying message about diverse human beings. 6. Kim Hye Jun as I Rang is convincing, strong, mysterious.

Cons :1. Reliance on unbelievable tropes - Jin Seopp's colleague knows he is dangerous but confronts him alone on a terrace, comic book like organ hunters, 2. Inadequate time for back stories of characters, 3. Unconvincing romance.4. Gideun doesn't make any sense.

Overall Score: 8/ 10

Stefan Dec 09 2022 10:46 pm This to me is by far the best mystery kdrama ive watched this year. The suspense! I dont even need a season 2 to complete it . It was just perfect!!! And i watched tokyo ghoul and parasyte . Its a nice comparison but still doesn't beat this one.

Also finally got tonwatch a Hae In drama

Eula Dec 09 2022 1:59 pm I like the plot. I haven't watched or read anything about the other anime/manga that was similar to this that's why I appreciate this drama.

One thing that I only don't like about this is about the protagonist who was kind of slow and somewhat stupid in calculating things/situations noh? Yeah, I know he is supposed to be clumsy or naive and anything that's supposed to a characteristics of someone who's easyly gets bullied but common. Anyway, I guess it's his eye's urge that's acting up and maybe he just can't control the urge to always act foolish whenever he's eye is near.

But overall I like the drama

lola Dec 09 2022 1:14 pm the only series from haein i didnt enjoy.. cant brain the whole plot and the story telling.

Drama Dec 09 2022 11:56 am Confused Ending with unfinished episode. Ask the writter to write down a proper ending. ?

Jane Dec 09 2022 10:26 am Totaly a different plot , after a boring routine romance drama series, this one quite refreshing, a nice menu with a thrilled and chilled taste of story. Another science fiction with a mutant touch. Love it! The actors are playing their best roles,Nice drama!

yue Dec 09 2022 9:32 am I can't blame others for comparing the series to Tokyo Ghoul and Psycho pass because from its trailer Jung Hae-in's character with the eye patch reminds me of Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul) and the character of Ko Kyoung-Pyo is like Shogo Makishima (Psycho pass) however, the way they portrayed their characters is amazing including the right director they get for serializing this webcomic. Takashi Miike is well-known for his Japanese movies with gruesome and violent scenes. I'm hoping people will not criticize the series without watching it. Waiting for season 2.

vann Dec 09 2022 8:47 am a superhuman with NO amazing action skill is really no fun... the story is good but the main character is so weak

Byeol 별 Dec 09 2022 6:05 am the ending ??? we need season 2 nothing was explained lol

hish Dec 08 2022 11:58 pm watching until episode 3 and this drama is good!! but still 1 thing it feel so weird.. South Korea is known for CCTVs every where but how can the police still can't catch the murder ???? LOL

finn Dec 08 2022 10:47 pm only still watch ep 1-2, South Korea is very well known with CCTVs every where but the police can't get the real killer are so weird....

ishiharu Dec 08 2022 7:59 pm MC's style reminds me, oshiete oshiete yo sono shikumi wo

Zzz Dec 08 2022 4:39 pm Psycho pass! Cheap version ?

Hmmm Dec 08 2022 7:21 am If he puts that eye in jinseop where does his eye go and eye transplant is a big oepration how that small time doctor did itm

Elen Dec 08 2022 4:13 am I so waiting this drama Connect! It’s so awesome movie and interesting) Jung Hae In is so talented actor :)

Mim Dec 08 2022 2:28 am Psycho Pass+Tokyo Ghoul :) Zero for orginality

laysie Dec 08 2022 1:00 am seriously don't watch this while eating, I almost got choked and vomited

Rach Mann Dec 07 2022 10:31 pm Ko Kyoung-Pyo is often cast as the weirdo, psycho or villain. Why?

Ncsci Dec 07 2022 1:07 pm Episode order in Disney+ are messed up. 4th became 6th and moved 5 and 6 up. Good thing the show puts actual episode numbers at the first minutes each episode.

imo, I didn't expect the romance but it is necessary because it raised a question that the killer mentioned.

chu Dec 07 2022 11:52 am kiss scene by the leads is really unnecessary, i dont know why they have to include that scene

Eriko Dec 07 2022 9:54 am Mike Takashi is the legend director for horror and violence movie.

diana Dec 07 2022 9:29 am tokyo goul ?

Pinball Dec 07 2022 8:42 am Pretentious and makes tedious watching.

hi there Dec 07 2022 8:36 am Straight 6 episodes no way, time for another sleepless night.

First minutes of the first episode looks promising, lets go....

w Dec 07 2022 4:45 am will be season 2?

Lana Dec 07 2022 2:37 am Why is it just 6 eps? So it will air for 3 weeks only…

VL Nov 17 2022 11:02 pm Go Kyung Pyo's character here looks potentially good and convincing. Seems like an awesome drama. Would love to watch it but I'm afraid of the bloody and gory scenes **sob sob**

AAA Oct 17 2022 12:58 pm Only positive reviews from those who have seen it at the Busan International Film Festival. December pls come faster!

Yorihani Oct 13 2022 7:28 am Can't wait until December ^^
