One of his best performance! Kim Nam-gil never disappoints his fans and even non-fans. This guy is really something. He truly deserve that Daesang award. He was outstanding in this drama. And the drama, as a fan of crime, psychological thriller dramas, this is a masterpiece. Perfect casting. Great cinematography. Great work from the writers and director. I watched this drama straight and completed it in a day. Mind-blowing. It deserves a standing ovation! My second favorite psycohological thriller drama after Beyond Evil. If you are fond of those kinds of scenes, this is definitely a must-watch.

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.

It's almost impossible to not compare the two shows to each other, as this basically feels like a Korean version of Mindhunter.

We get to see how the first "profilers" make an emergence in solving crimes, we get the old guard scoffing at these new "brainy" guys and their weird antics, we get the interviews with the serial killers to find out what makes them tick, and using all the intelligence they have garnered to catch new ones running amock.

Because of all the simmilarities, it's also impossible to not compare the two shows. And while "Those who read the Hearts of Evil" is an entertaining show as well on it's own, "Mindhunter" is the one which ends up on top in my opinion. And by seeing how one does it better, it also makes you notice how the other does it worse in certain aspects.

This is a more sensationalised version. There are more extreme coincidences, there are more crazed serial killers, there's more drama shown by the characters. While Mindhunter feels more like they want to show a realistic almost documentary like show, this one feels almost more like they wanted to make a stretched out Hollywood movie.

And there's nothing wrong with that. This was an entertaining time waster.

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.

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.
