Synopsis

Tarot cards.

A cursed message that comes to you for no apparent cause or reason. Stories about urban legends that could happen to anyone, anywhere, in the backdrop of Seoul, 2024. As families, neighbors, and strangers go on with their daily lives, mysterious incidents that are hard to tell if they are dreams or reality start to occur. Every episode begins with the main character discovering a tarot card. They either choose to believe or ignore the tarot cards that supposedly predict the future, but no one knows how the story will end. Soon after, they experience extreme horrors, that are exactly the opposite of what the tarot cards foretold. Tarot cards may foresee the larger flow of your fate, but they also have reversed and double meanings depending on how they are interpreted, which resembles our lives. Tarot is an omnibus short-form drama where each episode delivers unexpected twists and turns.

Note from the artistic direction

Tarot and horror are mixed in this South Korean anthology series questioning the boundaries between insanity and reason. The writing and directing plays with the codes of the horror genre, blurring the lines between dreams and reality. The cast includes Cho Yeo-Jeong, the iconic mother from Bong Joon-ho's Parasite.
