Jang Jung-Hyuk (Kwak Do-Won) is a corrupt detective, who is obsessed with money. Using his status as a detective, he takes bribes from people and snatches money away from thieves.

Cha Gi-Tae (Lee Beom-Soo) once worked as the head of a financial crime team at the NIS (National Intelligence Service), but he does not hold that job anymore. Due to J's planned crime, that took place 5 years ago, Cha Gi-Tae’s life has become a mess. Cha Gi-Tae now chases after the man known as J.

Suri Mar 26 2026 2:37 am Just saw eps 1-3. Great drama, good casts especially You Ji Tae. I don't think he backstabbed Soohyun. Will be interesting to see the rest of the drama!

Christina Jan 24 2026 7:10 am I was expecting more scenes with J and Soohyun since they were the main reason I watched this drama, so I ended up feeling a bit disappointed. That said, I’m glad Yoo Ji-tae wasn’t as buff as he was in Vigilante.

Alan Jan 08 2026 11:12 pm Great series. Enjoyed it a lot. Good acting, with a lot of action, suspense and twists.

Jillibean Dec 29 2025 11:31 am Sorry, really tired of criminal themed dark dramas. Will have to pass on this one even though I have loved the cast in other works, especially Ji Tae Yu, going back to Ditto from the year 2000.

Duke hyda Dec 19 2025 8:12 am This kdrama is very interesting just watch ep 1 this morning, looking for to the rest of the episodes, J really backstabbed han su hyun
