For the first time, HBO original content, the subscription television network in the US known for its award-winning prestige dramas, is now available for streaming on the Korean platform Coupang Play. Here are a few binge-worthy series guaranteed to make your weekend fly by.

"Succession"

With witty dialogue and sharp black humor, "Succession" delves into the world of the Roy family, owners of a global media conglomerate. The series delivers a thrilling mix of betrayal, power plays and emotional dysfunction, presenting not only twists but also a sharp critique of modern capitalism.

Spanning four seasons, the show has logged a whopping 75 Primetime Emmy nominations and 19 wins, with stellar performances that bring to life the hollow opulence of the ultra-wealthy. The show, in addition to boasting an airtight storyline, is also a visual fest. The show was a fashion trendsetter during its run -- most notably giving rise to the "old money" aesthetic, where people opt for high-quality pieces over flashy designer logos.

"The Last of Us"

Widely regarded as one of the most successful video game adaptations in television history, "The Last of Us" brings the popular gaming franchise to life in a gripping live-action format.

Set two decades after a global pandemic caused by a fungal outbreak turns humans into zombie-like creatures, the series follows Joel, who struggles to protect a teenage girl named Ellie -- a girl mysteriously immune to the infection.

A critical and commercial success, the series reportedly drew nearly 40 million viewers within its first two months. With themes of survival, loss and the resilience of human connection, "The Last of Us" has been loved globally. Its much-anticipated second season premiered on Coupang Play Wednesday.

"Chernobyl"

"Chernobyl" recounts the grim true story behind one of the worst man-made disasters in history -- the 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union.

The series chronicles the events leading up to the catastrophe and its aftermath, offering a look at the human cost of institutional failure and political powerplays.

From the first responders and plant workers who gave their lives to contain the fallout, to the soldiers sent to kill the animals exposed to the radition, as well as the miners digging through toxic soil to prevent additional explosions -- "Chernobyl" is an immersive viewing experience that captures the harrowing nature of the catastrophe and the quiet heroism of those involved.
