Season 1 of the K-drama sees Jeong Su-In (Jeon So-Nee) who has a connection with detective Kim Chul-Min (Kwon Hae-Hyo) due to an adverse event in her childhood. She finds herself infected by a parasite but it fails to completely take over her body, ending up in a Dr Jekyll and Hyde kind of situation. On the other hand, Seol Kang-Woo (Koo Kyo-Hwan), a small-time crook, finds out his older sister has been taken over by a parasite and his younger sister killed by one.

Both Su-In and Kang-Woo end up paired together to save the small town of Nam Il-gun from the leader of the parasites, the pastor. Together they help Choi Jun-Kyung (Lee Jung-hyun), the leader of Team Grey put together to kill the parasites across South Korea and succeed in their mission.

Parasyte: The Grey season 1 ending explained

Episode six of season 1 ends with a cameo appearance by Shinichi Izumi, portrayed by Masaki Suda. Shinichi is the protagonist in the manga, Parasyte, and the anime version of Parasyte: The Maxim. This major last-minute live-action appearance by Shinichi leaves us wondering whether this was just a call back to the OG manga or is he set to join Team Grey in Parasyte: The Grey season 2 which we can’t wait for.
