Using a sample of a dark-sounding cover of “When the Saints Go Marching In” to great effect, the trailer opens with someone tasking another with what looks like a murder-for-hire situation. It initially seems like a simple premise, but,as the trailer unfolds, so does the surface of the plot start to unravel. The trailer uses clever editing techniques, like splitting the frame with separate shots of different characters, to establish that these characters are more connected than it seems.

Our Take On The Official Trailer For Karma
It Looks Pleasingly Dark And Complex
Considering the striking visuals and complex premise presented by the official trailer forKarma, I’m excited for the series' April debut.The possibly non-linear, interconnected nature of the story is intriguing in its own right, but I’m more excited to see how the characters, especially Park and Shin’s, are developed. I was a fan of Park’s work inSquid Gameseason 1; he was by far one of the most interesting characters of that season, and my favorite because of his dark nature and his heartbreaking reach for redemption.
