South
Korean
drama
My
Secret,
Terrius,
which
was
on
Netflix
until
a
few
days
ago,
predicted
the
Novel
Coronavirus
outbreak.
The
Kdrama,
from
two
years
ago,
was
found
by
Netflix
users
who
are
binge-watching
content
on
the
platform
during
the
lockdown.
After
Steven
Soderberg's
2011
release,
Contagion,
My
Secret,
Terrius
has
been
going
viral
on
social
media.
The
show
is
also
being
watched
for
its
similar
plotline
to
the
ongoing
pandemic.
Currently,
while
the
show
is
unavailable
on
Netflix
in
India,
but
a
clip
from
the
10th
episode
of
the
series'
first
season
is
going
viral
on
social
media.
The
clip
shows
a
doctor
handing
over
a
file
to
another
character
and
talking
about
coronavirus
being
used
as
a
bioweapon.
The
show
stars
top
South
Korean
actors,
So
Ji-sab,
Jung
In-sun,
and
Yoon
Sung-hyun
in
leading
roles.
The
show's
synopsis
on
Netflix
reads,
"A
secret
agent
who
detaches
himself
from
the
world
after
a
failed
operation
tries
to
unravel
the
mystery
behind
a
neighbour's
death." My
Secret,
Terrius,
reportedly,
is
currently
only
available
on
the
streaming
platform
in
the
US
and
UK.
In
the
viral
clip,
the
doctor
tells
the
agent,
"We
must
do
more
research,
but
it
looks
like
a
mutant
coronavirus."
To
which
she
asks,
"Corona?
Then
MERS?"
The
doctor
explains,
"MERS,
SARS,
the
common
flu.
They
all
fall
in
the
same
gene
family
with
the
same
gene
information,
The
coronavirus
attacks
the
respiratory
system.
During
the
2015
MERS
epidemic,
the
mortality
rate
was
over
20
per
cent,"
The
agent
then
asks,
"But
that's
not
serious
enough
to
be
used
as
a
weapon.
Am
I
wrong?"
The
doctor
adds,
"Like
I
said,
this
is
a
mutant
virus.
Someone
tweaked
it
to
increase
the
mortality
rate
to
90
per
cent."
Netizens
have
been
baffled
by
the
way
several
fictional
works
of
art
from
films,
shows
to
books
have
predicted
the
outbreak
by
either
its
time
or
name
in
one
form
or
the
other.
COVID-19
outbreak,
which
first
began
in
Wuhan,
China,
has
spread
around
the
world
and
claimed
around
22,000
lives.
