Kairos (Season 1)

Kairos (2020) is a Korean crime thriller with a sci-fi twist you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Park Seung-woo. Shin Sung-rok plays Kim Seo-jin — youngest-ever executive at his company, with a violinist wife and a small daughter, right up until his daughter is taken.

The police aren't fast enough. In desperation, Seo-jin picks up a signal from exactly one month in the past and finds himself talking to Han Ae-ri (Lee Se-young), a college student working part-time jobs to fund her mother's surgery. Then her mother vanishes too. The two end up sharing whatever they know — him about the future, her about the past — and every choice either of them makes immediately reshapes what the other one faces. Thirty-one days. No margin for a wrong turn.

Sharp pacing and two strong leads make this one of the better Korean time-puzzle dramas of its year. Watch all episodes of Kairos (2020) online on iFILM.
