A new human being type, Connect, whose body repairs itself, is kidnapped by an organ trafficking organization. Part way through the organ harvesting surgery, he suddenly wakes up on an operating table and manages to escape, but he is missing one of his eyes. Then he finds out that he can "see" through his missing eye, which has now been transplanted into a serial killer who is turning his victims into corpse art. Determined to get back what was taken, Ha Dong-soo (Jung Hae-in) pursues the killer to make himself whole again.
In June 2021, Studio Dragon announced that they were preparing to produce a new drama titled Connect with Japanese director Takashi Miike.[14] The series is the first South Korean drama to be produced by a Japanese director.
In January 2022, it was reported that filming of the series was in progress.[15] Filming reportedly ended in March 2022.[2]
All the 6 episodes of Connect were released on December 7, 2022, on Disney+.[18]
