This series is about the establishment of a criminal profiling department within the police force. It shows the struggles the department faced in gaining acceptance within the force and the cases that they investigated which established their reputation. The teams star is an introvert with issues of his own but his brilliance is being able to enter the mind of killers and identify some of their traits. It is well acted by the full cast and the story mainly concentrates on serial killers and looking into what drives some of them. I find stories of this nature depressing as the murderers represented actually exist and random killing is so difficult to solve, therefore I am thankful people exist who can assist capture of them.

Spend 12 to 13 hours of your life to enjoy this masterpiece.....

A captivating and binge worthy detective drama series, this is the Korean version of the hit series Mindhunter. Everything about this is on point. Amazing acting, script, cinematography, soundtrack and overall production value. Pretty much as good as it gets.

I usually watch Kim Nam Gil with playful and funny character. Here in this movie all his funny and playfulness are completely gone. He becomes very serious , persistent, and meticulous person. This proves that he worked hard to animate this character.

This is very serious drama unlike other korean drama that usually combine romantic and comedy into the movie to make more enjoyable to more people. I believe some persons might get bored to watch this. It is very idealistic. No romantic, no fun, nothing but thrill and suspense.

I think it will be classic. I don't think this kind of drama will arise again in 5 - 10 years from now.

Also called "Though the Darkness." The name is apt for the journey the main protagonist has to undergo. Criminal profiling is quite a difficult job as this show reveals. Nam-gil Kim effortlessly carries the plot with his quiet demeanor and focus.

It's interesting to see how the relationships among the detectives grow and how their approach to investigations develop. Shoutout to the director, Park Bo-Ram, who created a crime drama set in the late 90s that is believable.

This show is definitely among the best true crime stories that have emerged from South Korea. Highly recommended.
