Shin Min A - Haein
Synopse : A serial murder mystery involving a murderous cop, a lawyer seeking a vengence, and a psychic reader.
Review : Made by the Resurrection team(Same director, script writer, and lead actor), The Devil King is a fascinating and well-made show. The story becomes interesting because the lead character Kang Oh Soo is not a stereotypical innocent character; he was the worst school bully who murdered a righteous classmate who was trying to protect a weakling. Being the son of a rich and powerful politician, Kang Oh Soo walked away from the murder charge thanks to his father. Having repented for his sins, he became a detective, but he is forever haunted by his past sins. As Kang Oh Soo starts investigating a series of vengence-driven murders involving people who were the players in his murder case 12 years prior, he is aided by a psychic reader(Shin Min A) who could read images from the object to guide him through investigation, and opposed by a defense lawyer with an innocent face(Joo Ji Hoon) who is the younger brother of the murdered boy seeking venegence on Kang(His brother was murdered by Kang and his mother died in a car accident after having been stunned by the not guilty verdict). Oh seeks justice on the death of his brother by controlling the murder of people involved in his brother's murder one by one, and force Kang to recall his past sins in the process. The script is well-written, and the plot is unpredictible, and both Um Tae Woong and Joo Ji Hoon delivers fine acting.
For those fed up with love stories and silly comedies, highly recommended.
