My Secret Terrius review
Despite being a mystery series that centers on figuring out the link of kidnappings and murders, the series has a lighthearted and comic side which balances out heavy atmospheres.
Here you will find a legendary agent trying to clear his name, but at the same time being a babysitter to hyperactive six-year-old twins. Additionally, Go Ae-Rin's circle of friends and the community of parents add laughs to the storyline through the Kingsman Information System (KIS), which is essentially a nosy neighborhood turned into a chaotic yet functioning watch group network.

Coupled with the comedy, there is Kim Bon and Go Ae-Rin's blossoming romance.

Of course, the series' action-packed side offers heart-racing scenes with Kim Bon showing his fighting skills as agent Terrius as well as the opposing side's master scheme and revelations.

My Secret Terrius about coronavirus
The series is known for its creative balance of both comedy and action; however, it is becoming famous for a different case because of recent events. Although the series ended in 2018, it is making its way back into mainstream media because of the My Secret Terrius conspiracy in one of its episodes.
My Secret Terrius Episode 10 is said to have mentioned and perhaps predicted the 2020 Coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak. In the episode, it states that the bio-terrorists have mutated a strain of coronavirus so that it can be used as a weapon.
More similarities emerge when the episode mentions that the virus has an incubation of 14 days and that it targets the respiratory system. Just like what the world is facing with COVID-19, the doctors in the series also advised handwashing as the first line of defense against the virus as they are struggling to make a cure.
With the ongoing pandemic, the episode leaves many in awe and even creeped out. However, it is essential to note that this is not the first type of coronavirus that the world has had to deal with.
In the past years, coronavirus strains like SARS and MERS appeared, as well as the common cold. Despite claims that the episode was a prediction, there is also the chance it was all coincidence.
