Beak Hee-Sung (Lee Jong-Gi) seems to live a happy life with his wife and daughter, but doesn’t seem to get along with his parents. His wife, Cha Ji-Won (Moon Chae-Won) is a police detective and stumbles upon a murder case which has links to a serial murder from 20 years ago. It also brings up Hee-Sung’s past. Nothing is as it seems since he met his wife 14 years back. There is more to him, his family and his personality, which is revealed slowly and need-based as the story progresses.

This is a typical thriller where there are hidden depths to the protagonist. There are parts where the viewers doesn’t know whether to root for the hero or not, and it makes for a fascinating watch. The first truth, where they reveal a mysterious part comes up pretty quick in the story and makes the series exciting from the beginning. Then comes the second truth, which makes the first truth questionable. All a very twisty-turny roller coaster ride, all very thrilling and exciting, minus the unnecessary gore. It also balances out the serious and tense moments with few moments of humour and cuteness.

About 70% of the series is streamlined, with the information coming out as it is supposed to, which makes logical sense to the viewer and also keeps enough information of the action to keep wanting more. It touches the topics of effects of unwarranted social stigmas, and how the victims sometimes get no respite. It ultimately becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. After that 70% mark, the series then becomes a bit too unexpected. There is overuse of twists, exciting, but tiring. All this combines results in a series which is a brilliant watch 90% of the time.
