Episode 1
Wow, Jang Geun Suk had really matured into a fine actor.
Anyway, this drama is dark. Noh Sang Cheon is a scammer. He conned many ordinary people with his promise of good returns on their investments. He played them with good interests to their money at first but when they were truly sucked, he run off and was presumed dead in China.
Despite many years having passed, the majority of the investors were still consumed with hatred for Noh Sang Cheon and to a certain extent with the police for their lack of action and support.
Now there is a spate of murders of those who worked with Noh Sang Cheon but before the former cohorts died, they were forced to call the police to report that they were being assaulted by Noh Sang Cheon himself.
So the police were forced to open an investigation on Noh Sang Cheon once again.
It so happened that a former high-flying lawyer had now become a police investigator. He was Koo Do Han who was especially interested in Noh Sang Cheon case because once upon a time, Do Han used to represent people like Noh Sang Cheon in court. Koo Do Han always won.
Episodes 2 – 3
Noh Sang Cheon was a loan shark who was a victim of the investment scammer as well. He lost all his money but the difference was that he was not going to stop until he get his way so instead of beating the enemy he decided to join them.
He became a very important and powerful member of the group, and he became a most wanted man by the police were really powerless to arrest him even when they were finally able to corner him being they were ordered by the prosecution team to let him go as he was already under investigation and likely lead the police to the real head of the scamming gang.
Anyway there are now three murders.
The first murder was kept a mystery. Because it was a secret, police asked their suspects who they killed first.
