This 12-part webtoon-inspired thriller stars Lim Ji-Yeon (The Glory) and Park Hae-Jin (Kkondae Intern) as cops chasing a John ‘Saw’ Kramer-esque vigilante runs an online poll to decide which criminals to executive via livestreaming. Didn’t Mediacorp make a similar show some years back called Zero Calling, starring Pierre Png? But The Killing Vote has more teeth, more blood. Yummy.
