Storyline

Prosecutor Cha Woo-jin (Chun Jung-myung) has been trying to unlock his forgotten memories about a girl Seung-hee (Kim So-hyun) who was murdered fifteen years ago. Fast forward to present day, Woo-jin's memory is being triggered when he meets Jo Eun-bi who resembles exactly like Seung-hee. To make matters worse, Woo-jin vaguely recalls himself shooting Eun-bi's father, Jo Bong-hak (Jang Hyuk-jin).

My View

Story was pretty good at the start but towards the ending was kind of repetitive. I was totally not paying attention during some of the scenes.

Year Released

2020

Genre

Crime, Thriller

No. of Episodes

16 - running time of 60 minutes per episode

Starring

Jang Hyuk, Choi Soo-young, Jin Seo-yun, Eum Moon-suk

Storyline

Criminal profiler detective Oh Hyun-jae (Jang Hyuk) lost her fiance to 'Peppermint Candy' serial killer five years ago. The police announced the serial killer's death in an explosion but recent murder cases proved otherwise. All victims had a peppermint candy left behind in the crime scenes.

Cha Soo-young (Choi Soo-young) is being recruited into RIU to assist them with cases relating to Peppermint Candy due to her ability to remember what she sees. Together with team leader Hwang Hwa-young (Jin Seo-yun) and the rest of RIU, they worked with Oh Hyun-jae to track down the real murderer.

My View

My second Jang Hyuk's drama, the first one was Voice. I guess he is pretty suitable in doing crime dramas. Plotline flows through well and I don't feel draggy as much though everyone seems to be linked to peppermint candy serial killer.
