Plot
“The Lucifer” is a story about two men who were predestined to confront each other over a tragic incident that happened when they were young, and a woman who has psychometric powers. Through the bitter fight of its main characters and their desperate attempts to uncover the truth, this drama attempts to find answers to such questions as what is good and what is evil, and how good and bad fortune are formed.
The murder case that begins with an afterimage of one girl is completely ignored and closed quickly because of the girl’s preposterous testimony. Twelve years later, detective Kang Oh-soo (played by Um Tae-woong) receives a taro card meaning “judgment” and a letter. A brutal game begins between the culprit and the victim of the case, which began as a trivial incident 12 years ago but has snowballed into a big tragedy, and a mysterious witness.
Notes
- "The Lucifer" will take over the KBS2 time slot previously occupied by "Dalja's Spring" and will be followed by "Several Questions That Make Us Happy" on May 30, 2007.

Agree with Jenna; this is a masterpiece. For literary alllusions alone (Dante, Anthony Browne's The Tunnel, People of the Lie, Jung) it stands out. And how these are employed in the plot. Starts slow, but only to build upon all the info needed to continue this thriller/mystery/morality play. Great acting by all. I was blown away by neophyte Joo Ji Hoon's controled portrayal of a painfully haunted man driven to extreme measures of revenge. The music was also beautiful. This is drama with meat on its bone, not fluff. Dig in!

I watched this drama so many times. This is not a typical Korean drama. After watching this drama, I got the feeling of 'wow! what a great drama...what a tragedy.. I feel satisfied with the ending but at the same time wish it be differently'. Great acting and great directing. The emotion is so intense. I can feel the characters, the sadness, the regret, the loneliness, the love.
I'm totally recommended this drama.
As I love it so much! Truly masterpiece.
