     Air Dates: February 13, 2026

Episodes: 8

Where to Watch: Netflix

Genre: Crime Thriller

Starring: Shin Hae Sun and Lee Jun Hyuk

A Fashion Designer makes waves across Korea when her designer bags become the “must-have” product of the season. But when they find her body murdered, a persistent detective begins looking into her life. And as he looks into who she was, he will discover a web of secret identities and fraud.

‘The Art of Sarah’ is a flashy crime drama with sleek cinematography. This cat and mouse story has some fun surprises and the acting is strong. Shin Hae Sun gives a captivating and complex performance and the layers of her story are haunting. The single focused plot and short 8 episode format make it a perfect binge watch.

While this drama is great if you are a fan of crime dramas, it is lacking any secondary characters or drama styles.  Also, the glamorous world this drama creates may seem exaggerated and unrealistic and the distrorted timeline and witness testimonies can be confusing. But I enjoyed the twists and turns and the dramatic storytelling.  I give ‘The Art of Sarah’ an 8 out of 10 ramen.
