Time slot: Wednesday-Thursday
Broadcaster: ENA
Genre: Mystery, thriller, action
Episode count: 14
Reasons to watch: ENA has been dropping dramas like it’s going out of style, and next up is Na In-woo as a cheerful detective who, well, doesn’t stay cheerful for long. With his little brother (Ren of NU’EST!) murdered, our hero seeks revenge, but soon finds himself uncovering all sorts of family secrets. The cast also includes Kim Ji-eun, Kwon Yul (!), Lee Kyu-han, and Bae Jong-ok, among others, and a lot of character conflict is promised. Our screenwriter last brought us Graceful Family and Sword and Flower, so this will be an interesting departure. Though the premise sounds like absolutely nothing new, we all know the secret sauce is in the execution — and the depth of character they’re able to imbue – so I’m hopeful for a thriller that thrills, but doesn’t sacrifice the heart of the matter, either.
TL;DR: Na In-woo mourns for his little brother but uncovers a lot of secrets
