Quick Precis
Apparently this drama is about an excellent detective helped by a female detective with a power of precogniton to stop a serial killer.
Sounds interesting!
Episode 1
Brilliantly taut first episode.
Shi-hyun is a detective who can see criminal acts three days before it happens. She then sketches the images as she sees them in her mind’s eyes.
She is a member of an underground special investigation unit, which act on preventing or minimising the effect of the future criminal acts.
The case of a money laundering was the first time Shi Hyun and Dong Soo, a field detective met.
Dong Soo happened to pick up the notebook of drawings Shi-hyun dropped while fleeing the scene.
From the sketches, Dong Soo noticed the similarities to his fiancee, Min Ji Soo. The sketch showed the woman dying in a man’s arms and the man looks like him. There was also a ring of some sort on the ground in the sketch.
When he got home that evening Min Ji Soo, showed him their rings and it so happened that it has the same design as that of the sketch.
He was perturbed enough to contact Shi-Hyun about the sketch, though he is still not 100 per cent not convinced.
Shi Hyun brought him to their HQ and explained what they do.
Dong Soo was half convinced and therefore begged his fiancee to take a couple of days off from work and stay at home. He got a police officer to guard her for good measure.
Do Jin was just coming home from his military duty when he decided to meet Min Ji Soo before going home to his wife.
What Do Jin doesn’t know was that his wife is the next victim of the serial rapist.
Episode 2
Wow, I’ve forgotten how gorgeous Lee Dong Gun was. He is so handsome in his army uniform in this drama. His height suited the uniform so well.
Anyway, this episode properly introduced his character, Kim Do-Jin. He was an army officer who sent an anonymous email regarding the corrupt conditions and practices within his barracks (whatever it is called, I’ll find out later 🙂 lol ) Anyway his email was picked up by a prosecutor, who happened to be Min Ji Soo, the fiancee of Kang Dong Soo.
Min Ji Soo tried to convinced Kim Do-Jin to testify. But he was not too sure because testifying would have a massive effect on his career in the army, which would even mean leaving it completely. Min Ji Soo said that she has the power to force him to testify but she will give him a few days to think it over.
Do Jin is married to a lovely, feisty young wife, who just found out that she was pregnant. She was all excited to tell Do Jin her good news. But Do Jin said that he might be slightly late coming home as he has to meet someone for work.
If only he went home early!!! His wife was the victim of the serial rapist, who ended up killing her because she put up a fight. The rapist put the blame on her for fighting back because he said his previous victims just bear with the heinous acts.
Do Jin felt so guilty and vengeful and doubly so when he found the ‘positive’ pregnancy testing kit his wife prepared for him as a surprise.
In this episode, despite Dong Soo careful protection of Min Joo, she died. And the surprise was that not on the hands of the other rapist. She was killed by Do Jin so she will not blurt out that he is now a vigilante.
Exciting stuff!
