Comments

Verna Jun 01 2026 6:52 pm The actors were good. Should have added another episode where the policemen and prosecutor suffered. Heartbreaking, where's the child?

Hmm May 31 2026 3:30 pm If this is a talent show , I doubt there will be a winner here. Everyone nailed their characters, no in fact they lived a fictional story. Would you enjoy the story ? Nah but this is not about justice but throwing light on how things happened or likely happened when people with varied traits are living together. But if you want to watch lee hee jun , then you ought to stop by.

Dongdongisadingdong May 31 2026 4:11 am Dongdong, you're effing delusional lmao. Dafuq you mean this is plagiarizing? Minimizing the word plagiarizing to something this miniscule takes away from people who actually had their work made through sweat and tears taken from them. Literally a thousand characters had appeared in media with the same demeanor, persona, etc. STFU.

Dongdong May 31 2026 2:29 am The actor who plays Cha Si Young seems to really like character Joo Dan Tae (Uhm Ki Joon) from The Penthouse, even his walk, fashion style, way of talking, way of laughing, hair, glasses, everything is similar to Joo Dan Tae. I really can't help but comment, but this is really too much. Even though I know actor Lee Hee Joon is quite good at acting, but this is really plagiarizing the character of Joo Dan Tae.

Veronica May 30 2026 9:34 am Realistic drama. I hate how Dae Ho turned out. The climax was when the killer was revealed and the story went down from there. But Lee Min Ki appearing out of nowhere was a delight. Can we have a Season 2 on the Hye Jin case with LMK leading?

venus borja May 29 2026 4:37 pm a very good and realistic one

Vexin1 May 28 2026 7:20 am It’s so frustrating to watch! What were the writer, producer, and director thinking with this drama? They completely wasted what could’ve been a masterpiece. We waited 12 episodes for that? Lol. And none of those damn police officers even faced consequences until the very end.

yoonseri May 28 2026 5:41 am at first it was good but the producer, scriptwriter and director must writing the plot while high in drugs. they kept introducing unnecessary twist into it that the whole drama feel frustrated to watch. it also becoming unwatchful with all this twist.

hallyu syndicate May 27 2026 1:15 pm I've been watching ENA Monday & Tuesday Kdrama since Honour, Climax, and then this is the best over all!!!!!

Considering that this true story cannot be taken lightly, this drama is quite impressive in showing how past events cannot be resolved not only because of the crimes of the perpetrators, but also because the people above cover up the cases for their own personal interests. However, interestingly, it does not bring a story that is completely identical here. The writer boldly presents a fictional story that does not obscure the real story, and in my opinion, it is presented quite successfully, keeping the audience focused on the case while also being moved by the stories of the people in the village, whose tragedy lies in actual events.

Kudos to the actors actresses, director and writer, and all the crew and people who involved in this drama!

ef May 26 2026 9:47 pm this is a very good drama. All the actors did in very well. Such an emotional drama. Yes I agree with Aman comments, the world is so unfair, even until now. Thank you, i hope this drama will get the awards.

Duke hyda May 26 2026 6:33 pm I have been following this drama about to watch episode 12 let's see how it ends

AMAN May 26 2026 2:18 pm After watching Ep.11 i have just one thought in mind "Sometimes the world is so unfair to some people specially to those who are innocent & never done any harm to others". So many powerful & emotional scenes in Ep.11...it was really heartbreaking to see Im Seok-Man crying like that... just imagine serving sentence for long 30 years despite being innocent & even after the release, living with a ankle monitor, no family & friends, enduring people's taunts like that...Poor Hye-Jin & her family's suffering also I'm so disappointed to see two people what they have become now Kang Sun-Young & Park Dae-Ho. specially Kang Sun-Young how could she do that to Kang Tae-Joo who raised her since she was a child, cared for her, he even begged on his knees to save her life in front of Cha Mu-Jin & ultimately he was forced to leave the town & Sun-Young as well with the promise of not returning ever...just like Im Seok-Man he also lost everything.... it was really a heartbreaking episode but hope the final episode worth it & all those culprits get their punishments....

Ahn11 May 26 2026 1:37 pm One of the best and the toughest (mentally) kdrama for me at the same time! But all the team made it great. Thank you!

Jamse May 26 2026 1:28 pm Good drama, but with some major plot holes. Example, why was it glossed over that Cha Si Young obviously ran over Sun Young after she rejected his side of the family?

Jey May 26 2026 11:13 am I thought prosecutor Cha Si-Young was redeemable, but he keeps on going through new depths of low. And the fact that he keeps getting away with everything makes my blood boil. This is this last episode and if he doesn't pay for all his crimes, then I can't say the series ended well for me. He's committed so much atrocities. I just want him to pay.

Jamse May 25 2026 11:15 pm Nice to see Do Ji Won in a surprise appearance in ep 11!

Ugh May 25 2026 9:08 pm I am hell annoyed with sun young. You are just as bad as everyone in this film. And also you Dae Ho what kind of police are you. You are just as bad as everyone else.

Episode 11… throw the chair May 25 2026 1:58 pm Episode 11… I can’t stand Sun-young and Si-young. Sun-young is just as bad, how can she do that to Tae-joo, her real brother and one person who cared about her when she was a baby. And seeing Si-young being an uncle/father to Ki-beom boils my blood; that should have been either Ki-beom or Tae-joo raising him. The last episode better be worth it.

Scarecrow fans May 25 2026 1:39 pm For 10 episodes, I thought Prosecutor Cha was the one character I could never forgive. As much as Sunyoung annoyed me, I kept trying to understand her and make excuses for her behavior. But episode 11 changed everything. It was the final straw. I've completely lost my patience with her. Her actions were so selfish and infuriating that all my sympathy disappeared. Right now, I honestly feel like she deserves whatever consequences come her way.

NGS May 25 2026 12:06 pm I am really disappointed with everyone. Poor Taejoo fighting alone. Even Daehoo, in the future........ He really become an asshole. Like I wish everyone who make Taejoo suffering rot in hell

Hanna May 25 2026 1:22 am When eps 11 out???? Its already 25th

Kpocchaco May 21 2026 10:51 am Scarecrow” is a gripping slow-burn that rewards patience with a deeply engaging and unpredictable story. Park Hae-soo and Lee Hee-jun deliver outstanding, nuanced performances that elevate every scene. The cast feels perfectly matched to their roles, creating a cohesive and immersive atmosphere. Just when you think you know where it’s going, the plot shifts and keeps you hooked. A must-watch K-drama with superb acting and storytelling—easily five stars.

eileen May 20 2026 8:11 am Police Myunga Do and Hyung should hang them once the murderer is found..theyare so cruel using all sorts the dirty tricks to make good people confess. Looking forward who will save Kang Tae joo and they buried him under the ground.

Key May 20 2026 3:24 am Police Do and Gu is totally thugs. Hoping someone beat them till dead.

Alicia May 20 2026 1:15 am If we are keeping it real kang Tae-joo is just as bad as cha siyoung. Kibom and Im seok taek became suspects because of him. The fact that he missed what was in front of him.

Nana May 19 2026 9:44 pm I felt boiling up as hell when they keep blaming the innocent one. What the level of maturity when you sit at the higher position.

AMAN May 19 2026 3:04 pm That line from the Lawyer in EP. 10 is very true btw "Even if a hundred criminals go free, we must not wrongfully convict a single innocent person" but unfortunately they couldn't save Im Seok-Man from going jail...i think along with the victims, he & Lee Gi-Beom suffered most in this drama after being wrongfully accused. Poor Im Seok-Man. his life was already hard enough with that disability but whatever little he had, he lost all. Not only he got life sentence for the crime he didn't even commit even his parents turned their back on him when he needed them the most & most of all listening to all those hurtful things about his disability from his own sister...that's really sad. he couldn't even revel his alibi because of his sister, thinking it could hurt her married life... it was really heartbreaking.

Ashley May 19 2026 1:37 pm WTF is wrong with people?! Seok Man couldn’t see his nephew, because of the way he walks? So disgusting.

E May 18 2026 9:53 pm Dae-ho, the young police officer. I’m so disappointed. And Si-young… i look forward to your downfall

Mao May 18 2026 9:47 pm The reveal in episode 9?? Absolutely disgusting. I fear they're so much worse than the perpetrator themselves.

arvie May 18 2026 11:54 am episode 9 is so good. this drama is a masterpiece!

ange May 18 2026 11:53 am still waiting for episode 9

Kimbab May 18 2026 11:08 am I thought it was the maknae, the youngest police. But I also put that man on top 3. I was screaming when they showed his old face. Like suddenly they showed it. Wuahhh... Daebak!!!

Ashley May 17 2026 5:56 am Maybe it’s a Korean thing, I don’t know, but how is Anyone upset with Tae Joo? It doesn’t make any sense. He clearly didn’t do anything wrong and it’s obvious that when things do go wrong, it’s because of higher ups and he has no control over that. What is it with Koreans always blaming the wrong person, especially when they know it’s the wrong person? I’ve seen this in so many dramas. So much so, that I believe it’s actually apart of their real lives. It’s a very toxic mentality.

Jamse May 15 2026 11:36 pm I like this drama, very tense and with good acting. But really, does Every woman’s destination take them through a dark, isolated cornfield? At night?

imaginary_angel May 14 2026 1:48 pm Stop spoiling killer name in comments for future audiences, or atleast add spoiler alert.

Imjustkdramafan May 14 2026 4:02 am I was literally suspected that particular person is the serial killer and i was right. That shibal saekya is psycho ass hole. Dont want to spoil who the serial killer is. Just watch it, it is really good.

Yoonah May 14 2026 12:26 am I've completed watching the episodes 1-8 in 2 days.

Loved the acting of our main leads -- Park Hae Soo and Lee Hee Joon. Seo Ji Hye as Sunyoung was a revelation on Episode 8. Hoping she'll get an acting award.

And Ki-Hwan as the serial killer - he's born as a monster coz one of his victims was a child.

A highly recommended thriller drama. Rate: 9/10

Jew May 14 2026 12:23 am I've watched the episodes 1-8 in 2 days.

Loved the acting of our main leads -- Park Hae Soo and Lee Hee Joon. Seo Ji Hye as Sunyoung was a revelation on Episode 8. Hoping for her more projects this year.

And Ki-Hwan as the serial killer - he's born as a monster coz one of her victims was a child.

A highly recommended thriller drama. Rate: 9/10

E May 14 2026 12:08 am His first OST “The Forgotten” for Scarecrow is so good. His singing brings the sentimental feeling for what his character is going through in this song

ohsion May 13 2026 9:29 am can't imagine how chaos when the actual cases happened :( pray for all the victims and those affected ?

An May 13 2026 2:11 am I seriously hate Prosecutor Cha Si-Young. Seriously. I'd be so mad if he doesn't end up in prison.

Chloe May 12 2026 10:41 pm It is too painfool to watch after ep 6.

AMAN May 12 2026 3:01 pm the two mureders Lee Ki-Hwan was talking about..one is already shown it's the little girl & the othe one is his own brother Lee Gi-Beom

AMAN May 12 2026 2:59 pm Poor Im Seok-Man. his life was already hard enough but whatever he has, he lost all. he suffered most of all. even his parents turned their back on him when he needed them the most..

Woomi May 12 2026 12:18 am Im soek man .. bullied beaten and misunderstood . How easy it was for everyone to jus turn their backs on him

E May 11 2026 9:45 pm I hope Si-young and those two detectives get beaten

Ella May 11 2026 1:41 pm Lee Ki Hwan..!!

Enari May 11 2026 10:05 am The killer is his brother..!!

5_ooo May 11 2026 7:49 am LMFAOOOO sogeum-ppang im kinda with you on that one

Happy98 May 10 2026 7:01 am From all witnesses statement, he was medium high, slightly skinny, and has a soft hand, his conversation with TaeJu seemed very “strangers” vibe so I cannot say he was one of his friends. “Jo YoonSeok” the scientist, he is suspicious. His statement about ‘labor job’ so the murder has 180 degrees physical appearance with the witnesses statement. This is a real story in the past and the predators just captured not so long ago. So idk if the end of this drama will show the murder or not. In Kdrama signal, they kinda make up the story, because it was still a cold case at that time.

sogeum-ppang May 10 2026 12:26 am can't wait for kang taejoo and cha siyoung to kiss ❤️

Ali-Sia May 08 2026 10:05 pm Imagine if it's not the guy who works at illman but the one who was arrested in episode 1 and was beaten?! KTJ stuck up for him and told them he was a petty robber no a murderer. We know that someone will serve 20 years for this crime, even though he was innocent.

Lane May 08 2026 9:00 pm So they wait until episode 6 to give us a glipse of the real killer! I hate that, because when you watch all 5 of them you are trying to figure out who did it. The guy lied on his application and said he was type 0 blood when he's B. Instead of him actually getting a blood sample to find out, he just says O. He had a limp, and sweats a lot. What I don't understand is this kind of work, you'd have rough hands even if you wear those gloves. He must have some kind of skin disorder and that's why his hands are so nice, and perspires so much! So he works at illwon industries. Lee Jeung Soo, and he was so calm and nonchalant. What a royal screw up this was, but if we all now know who did this, then what will the next 6 episodes be like? Watching them all die by either the cops, prison, self exit, or by this serial killer, and I just have a feeling the reporter is going to die! It would be better if the man in prison said, I killed these ones, but someone else did the others and he's a copy cat. I really like this show, and don't want the suspense to end.

Memee May 08 2026 7:16 pm In episode 6, does anyone notice that the Pig Teahouse matchstick was already inside the red bag? Looks like it didnt belong to the teahouse girl and she didnt put it in the bag. So it belonged to the killer??

Dk May 08 2026 9:44 am @Ji Ling I agree with you !!

Ji Ling May 08 2026 9:29 am I found the culprit! Lee Jeong Su. He was ruled out from the list because of his blood type, O. But in real life, the blood type was incorrectly investigated. He is also Lee!

Jenny May 08 2026 9:16 am @kkumkunda he was missing, they showed us he was in the bathroom because his stomach got upset.. but what if he wasn’t the bathroom!! and the killer name Lee young woo, the groom called him brother young something. they both shared the name young. and currently who is in jail bacuse of murdering his brother's wife... that's why i think the groom is the killer. Maybe I am wrong..

kkumkunda May 08 2026 1:33 am @Jenny I don’t think so, since the first case happened during his wedding. The wedding photo also proves Gibeom’s and his friends’ alibi.

Jenny May 07 2026 12:23 pm I think they gave us hint and showed us the killer face in the episode 5. I think the groom is the killer whose wedding kang taejoo and ki beom attended

Chloe May 07 2026 5:36 am What a masterpiece! I had high expectations because I really love "memories of murders". And this show is great! I like that they did it because it is about finally making this real story end.

Ji Ling May 06 2026 8:01 pm Oh nooo, I think Seok Man is "Yoon Sung Yeo", the innocent man who has problems with walking which being imprisoned for 30y! ???

Ji Ling May 06 2026 7:33 pm Initially I thought Gi Beom is the culprit. But the more they are trying to show as if it's him, I know he is not the one. Then I thought, it must be his brother, because Min Ji last location was when she was with the two of them. But then they showed his blood type is AB, instead of B. Now I believe it's his friend, Seok Man. But I'm not sure anymore.

I don't think it's the police. This is based on Hwaseong real murder case and culprit are not police, it's criminal who is already been arrested at some point. And they also show this early in this episode!

E May 06 2026 2:21 pm Super satisfying seeing Tae-joo beat Si-young

Wa May 05 2026 11:13 pm I guess the suspect is surprise but isn't expected

Mao May 05 2026 7:54 pm I can not wait weekly for this. I'm itching to find out the truth already.

Jenny May 05 2026 12:35 pm The young police detective or Im Seok man is the real killer. But I think it’s the young police detective. And the bully prosecutor boiled my blood, he ruined a lot of people's life. I need all of the episode together.

NGS May 05 2026 12:04 pm Damn Its my fault to believe the bully prosecutor. He really ruin people's live

An May 05 2026 11:41 am What if that darn bully friend is the serial killer. To me, he's worse than a serial killer because he ruin people's life.

Bee May 04 2026 12:38 am Lee ki hwan is the psycopath

Ian May 01 2026 9:16 pm Gi beom was the worst boyfriend... How come he was not somehow missed sun young for maybe 2 weeks (sun young full recovery) And he know about sun young being attacked from his neighbour... What a worst boyfriend... He might be not the killers (scarecrow) but he is definitely bad guy for sun young...

farr Apr 29 2026 8:00 pm yes, i also think it Lee Kibeom's brother. Lee Ki Hwan is the murderer

Ching Apr 29 2026 12:17 pm Lee ki beom's friend might be the killer

Amalia Apr 29 2026 4:39 am Maybe Cha's prosecutor dad

Dj Apr 28 2026 9:05 am The show hinting that Lee Gi Beom is the killer, but somehow i suspect it was Lee Ko Hwan.

Rosetti Apr 27 2026 3:14 pm Both my super fave actors!!! I am honestly soooo pissed with prosecutor si young ggrrrrr what an a@@ - meaning he once again nailed his character

An Apr 27 2026 11:55 am So who's the man in prison?

Bun Apr 26 2026 2:38 am Now,this is what i want...an thriller mystery drama that sets past and present day... Like 'My Perfect Stranger'

An Apr 25 2026 9:32 am Sooooo goooooddd I miss a serial murder investigation drama. And now i get to see one

Chey Apr 23 2026 11:22 am This has been good so far! Hoping it'll be as astounding as Through The Darkness. ?

Hikmah Apr 22 2026 7:40 pm This movie is so interesting I love the suspense already

Soyokaze Apr 22 2026 12:54 pm Lovingggg Thissss !! it's the Same vibe as Tunnel, Life on Mars, Memories of Murder

hallyu syndicate Apr 22 2026 11:39 am already intriguing since 2 first episodes!

E Mar 17 2026 8:53 pm The fourth time Park Hae-soo and Lee Hee-jun are working together after Legend of The Blue Sea, Chimera, and Karma. This is gonna be fun
