Mr. Plankton premiered on Netflix on November 8, 2024, introducing a dark comedy "road movie" centered on Hae-jo, a man with a terminal diagnosis searching for his biological father, and Jo Jae-mi, his ex-girlfriend whom he abducts on her wedding day. The episode establishes a 90s-indie aesthetic and explores themes of insignificance and hidden value in a, at times, polarizing pilot.

However, Episode 1 hints that Heung is perhaps too perfect, bordering on suffocating for the free-spirited (or perhaps just trapped) Jae-mi. The dynamic between the three leads is established with precision in the pilot, promising a complex love triangle that relies on character flaws rather than simple tropes.
