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.
