Another high-profile Netflix Original K-drama is leaving Netflix in March 2023, with Bad Boys: Vile City scheduled to leave Netflix globally on March 8.

Season 1 of the show consists of 16 episodes and first aired on the OCN network. between December 2017 and February 2018 before being licensed to Netflix exclusively on March 8, 2018. It came to Netflix via an exit deal with Studio Dragon (who produced the show along with Urban Works).

If you’re unfamiliar, here’s what to expect if you decide to give the crime-thriller series a spin before you go:

“Ordered to take down a villainous business leader who controls the city, a prosecutor assembles a team of men who may not be so clean.”

The show starred Joong-hoon Park, Jin-mo Joo, Yang Ik-june, Moo-Yul Kim, Ji Soo, Young-chang Song, and Hong-Fa Kim.

Now, five years after it was added to Netflix, the series’ license has been renewed, with the title scheduled to leave the streaming service in all regions (including the US) on March 8.

A “last day to view” notice can be found on the show page for March 7th.
