The policeman, DETECTIVE OH ( Jung In-ki) asks for details, and is told that the victims are a married couple that have been missing for a week, since the same night their daughter Choi Eun-seol was in a car accident.ĭetective Oh sees a pattern that looks like a barcode has been carved into the man’s left wrist, and from the look on his face, this isn’t the first time he’s seen this. He can do nothing but wail in grief.Ī police car pulls up to a beach, where a large area has been cordoned off around the bodies of a man and woman that have been propped sitting up against a rock. Mu-gak panics, and he screams for help and begs Eun-seol to wake up, but she’s already gone. He gently touches her shoulder and Eun-seol flops over too easily, and Mu-gak sees that her throat has been slashed. Mu-gak finds his sister but she appears to be sleeping, and doesn’t respond when he announces that the food is here. ~double shivers~ He and Mu-gak lock eyes for a moment, but neither says a word. He has a bit of difficulty finding his sister in the busy emergency room, and there’s a strange beat where he bumps into a man in a doctor’s coat (played by Song Jong-ho, though we don’t have a name for him yet), but he’s also wearing an eerily familiar pair of black sneakers and has blood on his hand. Mu-gak seems like a very friendly person and a sweet oppa, and he even brings his sister some food to eat while she waits to be discharged. Her bus was in an accident but she only has mild injuries, and she asks him to pick her up at the hospital. That same night, our hero CHOI MU-GAK ( Park Yoochun), takes a call from his younger sister, whose name is also CHOI EUN-SEOL ( Kim So-hyun). Killer and potential victim lock eyes, and it’s not until it begins to rain and Eun-seol passes out that the killer finally turns and walks away. He looks at something in his hand, and we see that in the brief struggle, the killer managed to rip Eun-seol’s name tag off her jacket - oh no, he knows her name. Injured and stunned, Eun-seol lays in the road and sees her parents’ murderer standing in the shadows, unable to approach now that there are witnesses. She manages to make it to the main road, but she’s hit by a car, the impact so hard that it sends her flying into the air and over the car to land in the street. He gives chase, but Eun-seol manages to stay just out of his grasp as she runs for her life. The clock lets out a sudden loud chime, and Eun-seol takes advantage of the murderer’s momentary distraction to slap his hand away and make a run for it. The murderer silently puts a finger to his lips to shush her, then steps very close to gently put a hand around Eun-seol’s throat, as she struggles to process what’s happening. Unaware of what she’s walking into, Eun-seol bounces in the front door and announces that she’s home, but freezes in horror when she sees her mother lying dead on the floor. The man is entirely dressed in black leather and his face is obscured by a hat and hoodie, and he goes to another room to drag a man’s body out next. A gloved hand takes the phone from her limp hand and opens it to read the text. Her mother’s phone lights up in her hand, but it quickly becomes obvious that her mother is no longer alive. This is our heroine, whose school uniform’s name tag tells us is CHOI EUN-SEOL ( Shin Se-kyung). On a foggy night, a teenage girl texts her mother that she’ll be home soon and to heat up some water for ramyun. I’m amused by the lead characters, and at the same time drawn in by their dramatic stories, and I can’t wait to see more. So far it manages to change tone from serious to funny and back again in a way that surprises the viewer, and enhances the two very different “feels” without making either seem out of place.
