Episode 1
It has a weird but interesting first episode.
Anyway, it looks like Lee Dong Wook plays a schizophrenic guy with another persona called K.
Mind you, this is just a hint at the moment.
Ryu Soo-Yeol keeps having nightmares about someone wearing a red/black jacket with a helmet on riding a motorcycle.
When he was not riding, this guy tends to beat Ryu Soo-yeol up. Ryu Soo Yeol then wakes up rather bruised.
One time he woke up and found his car kicked in, he was so annoyed he went to see the security for the CCTV, which showed that he did it himself. He was kicking and stomping on his car.
Then he was in a spa and the motorcycle man came in and started beating him up. He later complained to the spa manager for allowing riff-raffs inside the spa but he was told they can’t find any trespassers on their CCTV.
The thing is Ryu Soo Yeol is a police officer who was after promotion. He was doing everything to get it including kiss-assing a new assemblyman and ignoring some blatantly corrupt practices just like the case of a young policeman who was very enthusiastic and pure in his job.
This young policeman, Oh Kyeong-Tae saw a little girl posting a missing person on the bulletin board. She said that it was her mother and made the Oh Kyeong Tae promise to look for her mother.
Oh Kyeong-Tae did what he promised during his free time, he went to the known address of her mother, who was thought to be a prostitute or something.
The woman’s house was empty but when he had a look at the bathroom there was a strong smell of disinfectant. So he opened the bathroom drain and found locks of hair soaked in blood. While he was still puzzling over it, police officer Do In-Beom came to the apartment and beat Kyeong Tae pretty badly.
His beating was swept under the carpet by the other police because they said he should not encroach on someone else’s territory as Do in Beom said that he thought Kyeog Tae was an intruder.
Ryu Soo Yeol asked Kyeong Tae what was he doing in the apartment. Did he know the woman?
Kyeong Tae said that he had never met her before but as a police officer, it was his duty to serve and help the little girl find her mother.
Ryu Soo Yeol had become jaded so he doesn’t have much sympathy for Kyeong Tae. Anyway, he went with Kyeong Tae to the woman’s apartment.
Kyeong Tae was surprised to find that the drain cover looked different.
Kyeong Tae did not learn from the beating because he went back to the apartment to investigate again. He was set up and the woman next door who pretended that she heard something suspicious invited him to her house to show him where she could hear the sound, she then called the police and pretended that Kyeong Tae was abusing her.
Kyeong Tae got arrested but the testimony of the woman was inconsistent.
Meanwhile, Kyeong Tae went back to the apartment again because he noticed a teddy bear in a corner which he remembered the girl said her mother was going to buy her one for her birthday. When he got to the apartment, it had been completely emptied for redecoration. He found the teddy on the dumpster, He was almost run over by a motorcycle which made him dropped the teddy. He noticed the little built-in camera with a mini sd card on it. He hurried home and put it on his laptop but someone followed him in.
It was Do In-Beom, who happens to be related to the assemblyman.
As it happens the assemblyman was sleeping with the missing woman. After rough sex, he accidentally killed her.
Do In Beom got the sd card and beat up Kyeong Tae. Then poured petrol all over Kyeong Teo’s little apartment.
Meanwhile, a drunk Ryo Soo Yeol ended up near the apartment. And suddenly, the helmet man appeared and dragged him to Kyeong Tae’s rooftop apartment
When they opened the door, smoke was billowing.
Ryo Soo Yeol went in and got hold of the collapsed Kyeong Tae. They can’t leave by the door which is on fire so the helmet man signaled to Ryo Soo Yeol to jump with Kyeong Tae through the window.
Pretty interesting first episode.
Episode 2
Ryo Soo Yeol woke up in the hospital with minimal injury. He said that he saved Kyeong Tae. The other detectives sniggered because Ryo Soo Yeol is not known as one for saving others unless there is something in it for him.
Anyway, he tried to tell them that there was someone with them but they could not find any evidence of him.
Meanwhile, Assemblyman Do was so happy to get the SD card from Do In Beom. He saw that the SD card only contains a message from the dead Jeong Yuna to her daughter.
Her daughter continued to look for her mother but then she overheard that her mother might be dead.
She begged Ryu Soo Yeol not to look for her mother anymore because she would rather that she was not found than dead.
Ryu Soo Yeol felt sorry for the little girl especially when he heard the uncle wanting to know when they could claim Yuna’s life insurance for her daughter.
Poor Ok Kyung Tae continues to be in a coma but then he was fitted up by Do In Beom for the murder of Yuna. His print was found of the murder weapon.
Hui Gyeom said that Yuna’s murder might not be so simple as she is a police informant.
