Korean Drama Review: "Search Out" ~ A Sick Way to Use Social Media

Search Out” is a 2020 Korean movie, categorized as Crime, Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, Psychological, Thriller, and Police Procedural; and streaming on KOCOWA+.

SUMMARY: Two friends unite with a hacker to find the person responsible for encouraging people to commit suicide. That person is a murderer. It could be more than one.

In “Search Out”, Joon-Hyeok has been diligently searching for a job with no success. Meanwhile, he created a profile for himself on social media and named himself “WishGiver”.

Sung-Min is Joon-Hyeok's close friend. He is also jobless. Unlike Joon-Hyeok, who is open to job opportunities, Sung-Min just wants one particular job: to become a policeman. But he never passes the civil service exam. He even went to a shaman, and the shaman told him to give up because he'll never pass. That did not discourage him. This is a dream he won't give up.
