Save Me[1] (Hangul: 구해줘; RR: Guhaejwo) is a South Korean television series starring Ok Taec-yeon, Seo Ye-ji, Jo Sung-ha, and Woo Do-hwan. Serving as the very first television series from producer Lee Jae-moon's company Hidden Sequence, it aired on OCN from August 5 to September 24, 2017 for 16 episodes.

Synopsis
A girl is surrounded by suspicious people and quietly whispers, “Save me!” in a dark neighborhood alleyway, and a couple of unemployed youths hear her and run to her rescue. They discover that she’s trapped in some kind of pseudo-religious cult and try to help her, but what ensues is a sequence of horrifying tension-filled events that make us wonder more about the science of the human psyche.[3]
