A captivating and binge worthy detective drama series, this is the Korean version of the hit series Mindhunter. Everything about this is on point. Amazing acting, script, cinematography, soundtrack and overall production value. Pretty much as good as it gets.

Do you need to watch something REAL?

Look no further. How does it feel to be a detective? Through the 12 episodes you will travel with the best mind in this series.

The lead character is a Korean sherlock mind hunter who will take you through the thinking and the analysis which is what makes this series stand out from the other ones like mind hunter or many other crime thriller. You will be thinking about how they solve these cases without not much lead. But you see some brilliant deductive skills, behavioral analysis, quick wit thinking to capture, instinct and also come across great acting by both protagonist and antagonists.

Spend 12 to 13 hours of your life to enjoy this masterpiece.....

I usually watch Kim Nam Gil with playful and funny character. Here in this movie all his funny and playfulness are completely gone. He becomes very serious , persistent, and meticulous person. This proves that he worked hard to animate this character.

This is very serious drama unlike other korean drama that usually combine romantic and comedy into the movie to make more enjoyable to more people. I believe some persons might get bored to watch this. It is very idealistic. No romantic, no fun, nothing but thrill and suspense.

I think it will be classic. I don't think this kind of drama will arise again in 5 - 10 years from now.

A very well put together 12 part series covering some horrific crimes in South Korea. Set in 1990 up to 2007 and based on a book of experiences of a famous Korean Profiler. Over 12 episodes it charts their infancy as a behavioural unit and the lack of support , funding or understanding from their police colleagues as to their relevance to each investigation. Hard to watch at times when some of the crimes were being recounted by the killers. I can imagine the real profilers didn't have an easy job. Superb cast in this with some familiar faces and a few new ones. The 2 male profiler leads are outstanding !!! Their facial expressions and studious examination of each case just pulls you in and you are rooting for them to catch the killer. I really hope there is a second series. We'll done everyone. Superb series !!!

Also called "Though the Darkness." The name is apt for the journey the main protagonist has to undergo. Criminal profiling is quite a difficult job as this show reveals. Nam-gil Kim effortlessly carries the plot with his quiet demeanor and focus.

It's interesting to see how the relationships among the detectives grow and how their approach to investigations develop. Shoutout to the director, Park Bo-Ram, who created a crime drama set in the late 90s that is believable.

This show is definitely among the best true crime stories that have emerged from South Korea. Highly recommended.
