In Bargain, men are lured to a remote hotel under the guise of sexual encounters only to be caught in a trafficking ring where their organs are auctioned off to the highest bidder. After a catastrophic earthquake, the victims, traffickers and buyers all are trapped inside the crumbling building. Cut off from the outside world, they must fight to survive the aftermath at any cost.

The series stars Jin Sun-kyu, Jun Jong-seo, and Chang Ryul and it is an adaptation of director Lee Chung-hyun’s award-winning short film of the same name that was released in 2015.

Director and Writer Jeon Woo-sung, who was part of the production team of the original short film, picked up the story and developed it into a six-part series. Bargain is co-written by Choi Byeong-yun and Kwak Jae-min and executive produced by showrunner and creator Byun Seungmin and Bang Jin Ho.

The series was developed by Paramount+ and TVING through a partnership between Paramount and the Korean entertainment powerhouse CJ ENM.

Bargain was awarded the Critics’ Choice Award at Seriencamp Festival in Cologne in June and won Best Screenplay at Canneseries Festival earlier this year. The series also is an official 2023 Toronto International Film Festival selection, where it will have its North American premiere on September 9.
