Clip from Korean drama 'My Secret, Terrius' hinting at coronavirus-like outbreak in 2018 goes viral

South Korean drama "My Secret, Terrius" may have predicted a novel coronavirus-like pandemic two years ago, believe Netflix users who are binge-watching content on the streaming platform to deal with self-isolation during COVID-19.

Earlier, it was Steven Soderberg's film "Contagion" (2011) which was being watched for its similar plot to the ongoing global health crisis.

A clip from the 10th episode of the series' first season is going viral on social media which shows a doctor handing over a file to another character.

"My Secret, Terrius" is available on the streamer in the US and UK.

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."
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 agent then asks, "But that's not serious enough to be used as a weapon. Am I wrong?"
The doctor says, "Like I said, this is a mutant virus. Someone tweaked it to increase the mortality rate to 90 per cent."
