Loosely based on the 1975 discovery of a 14th-century shipwreck, Hulu’s new Korean crime thriller has a few key ingredients that will make this one a summer binge watch: a high-stakes treasure hunt, a gritty 70s noir with moral ambiguities, and the actual true story of a sunken Chinese ship off the coast of Shinan. The ensemble also includes some K-drama heavy hitters: Ryu Seung-ryong (Moving), Yang Se-jong (Doona!), and Im Soo-jung (Melancholia). The first three episodes stream today on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.
