Apparently, the COVID-19 was featured in the series and just like on what is happening right now, it also became an outbreak that affected thousands of lives of the people, taking down the whole country of Korea's economy.
2018 Korean drama series My Secret Terrius portrayed an interesting plot that got the people’s interest by their most intriguing scene during their 10th episode, where a doctor explained a manmade virus called coronavirus to Yoon Yi Jeon, a character played by Im Se Mi.
On the series' sypnosis it wrote, ““A secret agent who detaches himself from the world after a failed operation tries to unravel the mystery behind a neighbour’s death.”
“The doctor tells Yoo Ji-yeon: "We must do more research, but it looks like a mutant coronavirus."
Yoo Ji-yeon asks: "Corona? Then MERS?"
The doctor continues: "MERS, SARS, the common flu. They all fall in the same family with the same gene information. The coronavirus attacks the respiratory system. During the 2015 MERS epidemic, the mortality rate was over 20 percent."
Yoo Ji-yeon clarifies: "But that's not serious enough to be used as a weapon. Am I wrong?"
The doctor explains: "Like I said, this is a mutant virus. Someone tweaked it to increase the mortality rate to almost 90 percent."
Looking puzzled, Yoo Ji-yeon says: "90 percent?"
The doctor expounds: "What's more serious is that the coronavirus has an incubation period of 2 to 14 days. This virus was manipulated to attack the lungs directly within just five minutes of being exposed.
When Yoo Ji-yeon asks if there is a cure, the doctor answers, "There's no cure or vaccine at the moment. They're hard to develop."
