How to watch 'Unmasked' online – stream K-drama from anywhere
Fast-moving and funny K-drama sees a determined team of young journalists turn their cameras on the bad guys
Where the police and investigators fail to bring criminals to justice, the eccentric team of investigative journalists on the troubled "Trigger" TV show step-in. That's the premise behind "Unmasked" and we are invited in for the ride over six double episode drops across a twelve week season. It's like being on a turbo-charged roller coaster with no breaks.
Here's how to watch "Unmasked" online from anywhere with a VPN.
The first two episodes of "Unmasked" premiered on Hulu in the U.S. on Wednesday, January 15. Two new episodes land every Wednesday until February 19.
• U.S. — Hulu / Disney Plus Bundle
• Rest of the World — Disney Plus
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free
There is literally nothing Oh So-Ryong ("Ms Oh") won't do to get a story - such as gatecrashing a cult's compound on a paraglider - and serve justice but she also needs to save the show as it faces a ratings dip. She will not, however, compromise her integrity to do that as the credibility of the show means everything to her.
Consequently, newcomer and non-team player Han-do (played by Jung Sung-Il) could not have been transferred to "Trigger" at a worst time and his personality clash with Ms Oh lends a new brand of chaos and difficulty to proceedings but is there a sexual chemistry there somewhere? Only time will tell.
Read on to see the ways you can watch "Unmasked" online on streaming platforms the world over.
