Netflix is arguably the biggest streaming platform in the world. Its subscribers rose at the start of the pandemic and keep growing per quarter. Thanks to their diverse movie content, movie lovers have opted for the platform as their go-to means to access premium viewing content.

Even Korean drama fans are not left out as Netflix made sure to keep compiling a list of captivating series and movies in its catalog. With the turn of the new year, the streaming platform plans to release more Korean romance, crime, and thriller flicks.

Following the success of the crime series, the streaming platform was inspired to recreate a similar blockbuster for their K-drama fans. The remake will be dropping sometime in 2022, with Netflix already debuting an official trailer to whet the appetite of their viewers.

The trailer revealed "My Love Blooms" actor Yoo Ji-Tae playing the new iteration of the Professor and "Squid Game's" villain Park Hae-soo as Berlin – the Professor's right-hand man.
