Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and action fans. If you loved Line of Duty or Moonlighting, start here.
The mood: Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 35 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-MA: expect violence.
It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

A drama about the race between people who want to get closer to the truth and those who want to cover it up. Jang Seung Jo will take on the role of Oh Ji Hyuk, an elite detective of nine years who does not share his feelings with others due to pain he experienced when he was young. He is not swayed by money and power, even with the huge wealth he inherited from his uncle.
