Netflix is no stranger to bringing series from all corners of the globe to subscribers across the planet. My Secret, Terrius is no different as the South Korean drama is currently available for fans to stream in the UK and the USA. While it may not be a household title, the series began trending on social media this week as fans spotted an scary scene featuring coronavirus.

My Secret, Terrius' synopsis from Netflix reads: "A secret agent who detaches himself from the world after a failed operation tries to unravel the mystery behind a neighbour's death."

The key scene which has got fans all over the globe talking comes in the 10th episode of the show's first season.

Approximately 53 minutes into the episode, it shows a doctor handing over a file to another character.

The doctor tells her: "We must do more research, but it looks like a mutant coronavirus."

The concerned recipient replies: "Corona? Then MERS?"

"MERS, SARS, the common flu. They all fall in the same gene family with the same gene information," the doctor says.

"The coronavirus attacks the respiratory system. During the 2015 MERS epidemic, the mortality rate was over 20 percent."

The agent then asks: "But that's not serious enough to be used as a weapon. Am I wrong?"

The doctor says: "Like I said, this is a mutant virus. Someone tweaked it to increase the mortality rate to 90 percent."

Once Netflix subscribers online got wind of the scene, it didn't take long for them to voice concerns.

One Twitterati said: "In the drama My Secret Terrius that was released in 2018 (UNIQ's sungjoo was among the cast) they talked in details about the coronavirus.... I had goosebumps..."

A second was equally freaked out: "Just gonna leave this here but I am massively spooked. This series My Secret Terrius is on Netflix but came out 2 years ago and talks about the coronavirus we're going through rn..."
