As this Korean drama opens a woman crashes from the top of a tower block. A couple of weeks later an assemblyman is killed when his car is driven off the road. The two events aren't considered to be connected and both are initially thought to be suicides. Jo Tae-sik, a police officer who has requested a transfer to a rural area, is given the case. It is meant to be an easy last case but he soon realises the car crash was no accident. Along with two colleagues he sets about uncovering the truth. Meanwhile Kim Seo-hee, the assemblyman's daughter, is encouraged to stand in the by-election caused by her father's death. Around the same time her husband disappears. She is pressured to help push through a law her father intended to propose. As the story progresses these two protagonists work together and find themselves and those close to them endangered as they cross powerful people determined to keep a dangerous secret.

I thought this was a really solid series. Fans of Korean crime drama should really enjoy it. The central mystery is interesting and provides more twists and turns than I'd expected from a series that shows us some of the behind the scenes plotting. The drama provides plenty of tense moments as well as one major shock which I won't spoil. As is often the case in K-Drama there are also a few laughs, more so early on, to lighten the tone; many of these are provided by policewoman Kang Jin-kyung. The cast does a fine job bringing their characters to life. Overall definitely one to watch if you enjoy Korean crime dramas.

These comments are based on watching the series in Korean with English subtitles.

First thing first, watch this on Netflix. now. love the character development and how they brought the viewers to each layers closer to the truth. I found this very exciting, interesting, and it truly drove me crazy. all the secrets that's been kept from me, from the characters, anger me so much but then again, realistically speaking, humans I see in real life would honestly go to that extent to protect what they think needs to be protected; wealth and public's opinion of them.

This was a great detective series! I must admit I figured out two mysteries on my own especially who was really behind it all. But it didn't take away from the suspense and my interest in each character. The lead detective was excellent as were all the other supporting characters. One character broke my heart and I'll say no more so I don't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. I sometimes fast forward when episodes drag on or get a bit boring, but I never did that with this series. Totally worth watching!

I just found this series on Netflix. I started watching it because I like the lead actor. But I am done with episode 3 and ready to quit it because, again, the female lead is so badly written. Why oh why, do K-dramas and K Rom -Coms always make the FL so dumb and clueless. Even if she is a veterinarian, business woman, college student, etc. It also seems like it is a rule that they cry hysterically non stop. I don't want them portrayed as fierce warrior princesses who so easily beat up or kill 200 pound men like Hollywood likes to portray female characters now. I just want them to have average intelligence or something interesting about them. Also, are Korean police really that incompetent? The female police officer and captain are complete idiots. Is it worth my while to continue??

Superb acting from everyone, especially the actor who plays the deplorably narcissistic Chairman Jeong Young-mun (he's not listed on here or on Wikipedia, so I don't know who he is).
