Logline:
When six high school students feed blood to a mysterious jenglot figurine, trading petty revenge for power, they unleash a terrifying curse that has no way out. They are locked into a pact to appease the jenglot, which threatens to devour them all if they fail to pay.
Synopsis:
"Six high school students are thrown together for a group project—but their biggest problem isn’t the assignment. While working after school, they find a strange, shriveled figurine: a jenglot. They pass it around to examine it closer. Chaz recognizes it as something from a video game; if you feed it blood, misfortune will befall your enemies. Hazel warns them to back off, but Louis rips off his scab and a few droplets of blood spills on the jenglot. He jokes that something would happen to his mean teammate.
The next day, his teammate trips in the cafeteria and becomes a laughingstock. The group wonders if it’s the jenglot, but they brush it off—until more of them try it. Chaz, Varun, and Elena each give the jenglot blood, and each time, the “accidents” grow more violent—ending when the French teacher’s arm twists grotesquely in class. Horrified, they vow to stop."

Logline:
When a struggling true-crime influencer fakes her own disappearance to go viral, her plan works; until someone hijacks the narrative and makes it terrifyingly real. Now, trapped inside a story she can’t control, she must outsmart an obsessed killer who knows her every move and is always a step ahead.
Synopsis:
In an era where visibility is survival, Nova Park, a struggling true-crime influencer, stages her own disappearance to boost engagement. With carefully planted clues, cryptic social media posts, and a dramatic livestream cut-off, she waits in a safehouse for the internet to explode with speculation.
The stunt works: hashtags trend, followers multiply, media outlets buzz…until someone hijacks her story. When her closest confidante turns up dead, Nova realizes a real killer has seized her “script” and is writing it in blood. She is trapped inside the kind of case she once covered and her usual tools of narration, analysis, and control are useless.
With the world believing she’s already missing, Nova has no way to seek help without exposing herself as a fraud. Trapped inside her own lie, she must outwit a killer who knows her every move and who may be closer than she ever imagined.
“Offline" is a prestige-format thriller told across 10 × 30–35 minute episodes, blending influencer culture, psychological horror, and conspiratorial paranoia. Claustrophobic, cinematic, and binge-worthy, it explores the dangerous line between the stories we perform and the ones that consume us.

Logline:
To uncover his wife's death, Jing-cheng forms “Dark Fern,” using film crew aliases to carry out vigilante justice until one case puts him in danger.
Synopsis:
A TV drama about school bullying sparked public panic as soon as it was released. The screenwriter, Jing-zhi, becomes a victim of cyberbullying and falls into depression. Concerned for her health, Jing-cheng plans to send her abroad, but a tragic car accident along the way leaves him in a coma for three months. Upon waking, he learns the driver received a light sentence and realizes the incident was not as simple as it seemed, especially as his parents were being followed. Fearing for his family’s safety being threatened, he decided to disappear.
Knowing the law can't help him, Jing-cheng establishes a vigilante group operating in a legal grey zone called “Dark Fern,” where he serves as the screenwriter. Using cinematic methods, he immerses wrongdoers in scenarios mirroring their victims’ trauma, forcing confessions. The first case is school bullying, staged like a horror film to frighten perpetrators into revealing the truth. In the next case, the sudden death of an infant, he used a high-speed chase scene to expose a drug trafficking operation.
Both cases link back to Jing-zhi’s death and the mysterious demise of actress Xiao-yu’s younger brother, drawing police attention to “Dark Fern.” As Jing-cheng gets closer to uncovering the truth, he makes a shocking discovery: everything has been part of Jing-zhi’s meticulously orchestrated plan for revenge.

Logline:
A series of murders has occurred in Bangkok, involving a podcast radio channel that plays classical music 24 hours a day. But when the music stops, the killer carries out the murder—almost like a game of musical chairs.
Synopsis:
In the early hours of the morning, the body of a woman was found in a narrow alley behind a nightlife district. She appeared to be around 25 years old. Her arms and legs were bound to a chair. The body lay tipped over on its side, hidden behind a trash bin. The ground was soaked from the rain that had poured all night. The body was discovered by a security guard, who had heard music playing from somewhere near the bin. The victim’s mobile phone was still on—playing a classical music: Carmina Burana.
Krit, a 45-year-old metropolitan police investigator, arrived at the scene. There were no signs of struggle. No fingerprints. Nothing. While Krit examined the scene, one of his subordinates informed him that an officer from the Central Investigation Bureau had requested to observe the case. Her name was Bua, a 29-year-old detective. She quietly questioned witnesses while Krit and his team worked. Krit wasn’t thrilled by her presence. It unsettled him.
The investigation pointed toward a group of individuals with ties to the victim. Witnesses and close contacts identified them. But Bua wasn’t convinced. She told Krit this was the third case she’d seen with no evidence left behind—no traces of the killer. She believed it was the work of a serial killer.
