Mask Girl is an upcoming South Korean Netflix Original thriller TV show directed by Kim Yong Hoon, and based on the popular Korean webtoon of the same name.
The webtoon on which the series is based is listed as 18+, so it’s only meant for adults. It’s unclear if the k-drama adaptation will hold back on the rating to attract a larger audience, or if it will be faithful and keep the same themes.

Mask Girl won’t be released on Netflix until 2023. An exact release date hasn’t been given but we aren’t expecting to see the k-drama arrive until at least the Spring of 2023.
