In 2020, Jung Ji So's Baek So Jin learns about her ability to bring death by using names and photos in "The Cursed." Unbeknownst to many, she's a girl who was deemed a perfect vessel by an evil entity.
When a conglomerate chairman gets possessed by an unknown force, a reporter works with Baek So Jin to fight the spirit while also revealing the corruption made inside the multi-billionaire empire.
The drama, which is also known as "The Cursed: Dead Man's Prey," also stars Sung Dong Il, Uhm Ji Won and Jo Min Su.
'Priest'
Another OCN drama makes it to the list. The 2019 series "Priest" was headlined by seasoned stars Yeon Woo Jin, Jung Yu Mi and Park Yong Woo.

'The Wailing'
"The Wailing," released in 2016, stars Kwak Do Won, Hwang Jung Min and Chun Woo Hee. It centers on a police officer who looks for his missing daughter.
