I’m also kinda interested Sun-jae…and his reason for hanging around in Unit 1 doing field work when as a graduate from the prestigious Police Uni, he could have easily gone upwards to management. Gwang-ho himself isn’t immune to using brute force to knock out confessions from his suspect, even though he isn’t a bad detective. Besides the lack of advanced forensics, the police protocol then is kinda all over the place, and people turn a blind eye to co-erced confessions. The female body has 5 dotted tattoos on her heel.Įp1 starts out rather slow, but it does build up enough background for viewers to understand the constraints of police work in the 80s. In Gwang-ho’s time, the female psycho was never indicted due to lack of evidence.īut Gwang-ho finally finds the reason why he is stuck in the 2016 when a call comes thru to the station on the finding of a dismembered body in the hills. With no other choice, Gwang-ho has to hang around the 2016, and he meets profiler Jae-yi when one of his suspects, a female psychopath, commits suicide in the mental hospital. His pregnant wife, in the other time-space, is juz as devastated by the disappearance of her husband. Sadly, Gwang-ho is unable to travel back in time, even after locating the correct tunnel and running through it back and forth several times. So Gwang-ho assumes the identity of this maknae, and doesn’t realise the team leader of Unit 1 is his maknae, Sung-sik, of the past. Interestingly, another officer by the same name is supposed to be joining Serious Crime Unit 1…and that younger Gwang-ho somehow mysteriously disappeared with the arrival of the 80s’ Gwang-ho (even his pics poof into the 5th dimension). Gradually though, Gwang-ho realises he is in a different space-time entirely. He goes back to his police station and has an altercation with Sun-jae, whom he thinks is a pastor from the nearby charity outfit (cos Sun-jae is in white shirt/ black pants…). …only this time, when Gwang-ho awakes and leaves the tunnel, he time travels to 2016. He enters a tunnel and chases after a shadowy figure…and we are back to the opening… Thinking that the first crime is likely where the murderer is hiding out, Gwang-ho sets out to investigate. The number of dots on the heel of the victims corresponds to the number of kills - but Victim 5 is missing (or her body is yet undiscovered). The forensic doctor (or rather, he is juz a regular doctor being roped in to help with the postmortem) confirms the finding, but claims he did not report it earlier cos he felt it was “irrelevant”. Gwang-ho gets more desperate as the bodies pile up, and grieving family members question the efficiency of the police force.īy chance, he discovers that each body has a tiny dotted tattoo on the heel.
The police teams go nowhere with their leads, even after interviewing dozens of suspects (and threatening several).

He eventually does marry her, even while busy trying to solve a series of cases where young ladies in their 20s-30s are strangled to death. …flashback: Gwang-ho reluctantly accepts a blind date, and turns out to be rather smitten with his date, Yeon-sook ( Lee Shi-ah). We open to see a shadowy figure hits Gwang-ho on the head with a rock and the perp flees through a dark tunnel while Gwang-ho loses consciousness…
In the 80s, he is Gwang-ho’s maknae partner, but in 2016, he has risen up the ranks to head Serious Crime Unit 1 (aka Gwang-ho’s boss).

He is the detective in charge of the Hwaseong cases back in the 80s, and travels by accident to 2016 - cos the serial murderer also time-travelled.
Choi Jin-hyuk (from Pride and Prejudice) as Detective Park Gwang-ho.The Hwaseong serial murder case in Korea is very much like London’s Jack the Ripper - the cold case has gain so much cultural popularity for its gruesomeness that we have seen iterations of it in several kdramas’ police procedurals (like Signal, Gap-dong, to name a few).
