Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Lee Ho-Chul (Jin Goo) works as a firefighter. He is your typical head of household, who loves his wife and daughter. Recently, the media covers an unsolved serial killer case. The case has nothing to do with Lee Ho-Chul, but he receives a text message that states "I will let you know who the serial killer is" and a photo. The photo is of a man holding a knife covered with blood and he is next to a murdered person.

Lee Ho-Chul notices that the man holding the bloody knife is Kwon Shi-Woo (Lee Won-Geun), who lives next door to him. Lee Ho-Chul receives another text message that states "Kill Kwon Shi-Woo within 24 hours. If you don't, you will not see your daughter again." Lee Ho-Chul discovers that his daughter is now missing.

Meanwhile, the person who sent the text message is Bae Tae-Jin (Ha Do-Kwon). He is a hired killer, who chases after serial killer Kwon Shi-Woo. Bae Tae-Jin schemes a plan to kill Kwon Shi-Woo by using Lee Ho-Chul.

Kwon Shi-Woo (Lee Won-Geun) looks like a kind young man with a handsome appearance, but he is a psychopath. He feels a sense of superiority by killing people.

Henri Jun 08 2025 1:20 am stupid & absurd movie when his daughter call 112, just told that she was kidnapped by her art teacher... and when his wife wanna check his daughter, why not call to her cellphone 1st

Park Min Mar 02 2024 8:15 pm Disappointing and underwhelming with its lackluster execution and uninspired storytelling. Insufferable and bland thriller/mystery mix that doesn't attempt to put the slightest of efforts. Pretty straightforward and linear story, everything is laid down lazily. Bad dialogue all around that was probably machine generated. Abysmal pacing by amateur director, big chunks of every episodes were silent while the characters roaming very slowly with an awful royalty free background music. The cast performance was suffering as well, maybe the ML was passable but the remainder of the cast were barely average and the main villain was just bad and cringe. On the bright side, at least they didn't push it for an agonizing 16 episodes so that's a win?

Anonymous Oct 10 2022 12:45 am I never skip episodes for crime/thriller drama, but this one.. What a disappointment. I tried to stay, but too many stupidity in the plot. It could've simply end with 2 episodes if the directory are not too eager to make plot twists which are totally unnecessary and stupid. Not recommended to watch at all.

li Aug 13 2022 5:30 am really stupid drama. Husband is stupid to not tell his wife or the police about everything. Plot is stupid too.

Remember PTS May 08 2022 9:17 am Please bear in mind that the main character suffers from PTS and is unable to return to workforce up to date. Lee Ho-Chul cannot afford to think or face the events he is forced to face. His body likely shuts down all thoughts aside keeping his family safe, making him literally unable to think. It is trauma response. And any kind of trauma response is great, if it helps keeping your mind, your body and your family safe. Please watch the drama while keeping in mind, that the actions of the characters are based on their own traumas and the traumas their families have faced. They aren't acting rationally because people don't tend to act rationally in emergency situations.

It's pretty interesting drama if you manage to remember and understand some of the character settings.

Gin May 03 2022 1:46 am After episode 6, skipped to watch the last episode. As usual, great bckgnd music and good actors, Plot greatly mediocre, a disappointment. Glad it's only 8 episodes, what A Wonderful Day.

Pmab May 02 2022 9:09 am It’s not that bad not formulaic. Bad guys are really bad but convincing. Egos and plot twists. Just entertaining

SG Pup 1722 Apr 29 2022 9:55 pm I'm watching episode 6. I do enjoy watching the series although the storyline has gaps, the most exasperating is that the husband (acted by Jin Goo) incredibly doesn't tell his police officer wife that their daughter has been kidnapped!

Okay, the story is based on a webcomic, so the scriptwriter can't change the story details too much, but it's still an incredible bit of stupidity on the husband's part.

Groot&rocket Apr 29 2022 9:34 pm Both husband and wife got no communication even though they have the technology to do it. Just like how hard is it to tell the killer is who and where the daughter is. Just some ridiculous plot holes which make the series ridiculous. Why the wife knows she is meeting the killer yet didn't have plans to ensure her safety like putting a tracker...feels like the police is useless in tracking the killer . Hope they will give a plausible ending to this series.

Noname Apr 29 2022 3:44 pm I’m on episode 4 and i’m more irritated and annoyed than interested. There were so many opportunities for the main character to catch the killer and all he did was stand around an stare. When they were in the storage container, he could’ve easily ran out, locked the container from the outside while leading the police to his location to catch the killer in the act and red handed. And there so many times both him and the cop could’ve taken pictures and video while they were following the killer to atleast have evidence of who is the actual suspect. And the main character screaming before he decides to attack the killer is like screaming your location to a burglar while they are robbing your house. Smh.

Taka Apr 27 2022 8:19 am Lousy storyline and lousy acting skill from 3 actors

Kholofelo Apr 25 2022 7:34 am It seems interesting at first but lost the plot along the way. What keeps me watching it's because I want to see the ending. You should thank the name of your drama.

LHC Apr 25 2022 3:31 am Nothing really went well with this show. I'm so disappointed.

Tin Apr 21 2022 10:15 am All the characters are stupid except for the killer? . I thought its a good drama because its OCN. ?‍♀️?‍♀️

Alice Apr 19 2022 3:14 am I only want to know the ending. Otherwise I will stop watching. Father keeps chasing but never succeeds in doing anything intelligent. Testing viewer's patience. Dong ju's character shouldn't be there. Initially his role looks significant but he died insignificantly. Nothing to do with the actors ..just that the script has poor plot

Ginger Apr 19 2022 1:51 am 1 star for this drama. The credits go to the bg music n actors.

The professional killer Tae-Jin said because of seriel killer Kwon Shi-Woo, his entire perfect career left a dark stain. It's the SAME for the director's career as well

Disappointed with ocn, it's the no.1 worst drama. Bg music is the good and intense. The script, the plot are extremly bad, the characters are all lacking common sense n totally dumb. Not sure why the production think it's worth to produce , thinking audience will accept this type of quality.

Although it is unfair to compare with another drama "one fine day", which was launched eariier. This drama "one superior day" is definitely not a superior one. 'One mediocre day' suits more.

Those who haven't start watching, save ur precious time for other drama.

A Superior Day Apr 19 2022 1:41 am I just watched ep 6... Detective Choi (Lee Ho Chul's wife) is useless. Also, at the ep 7's teaser, why she have to tell to Kwon Shi Woo (serial killer) that Detective Chu is still alive?!!!! Where's her brain?! Tsk.

Temi Apr 18 2022 11:22 pm This should be the worst crime drama I’ve seen.I’m still watching because I want to know how it ends.is only one person that have sense which is the serial killer.

SERA Apr 18 2022 6:53 am I will see this drama and why is the rating of this drama low

May Apr 18 2022 5:17 am Jin Goo had too many chances to shoot the serial killer it was too open but he didn't. The director must be sleeping on the job. ?

Kdrama fan Apr 16 2022 2:21 pm Read the comic before and it is really bad, didn’t expect them to make it into a drama but they really did and somehow the plot is worse than the comic. Only good part is the acting.

Very Weak Drama Apr 10 2022 11:16 pm I just finished episode 5. I don’t know why I even put up with watching this series. I'm very disappointed. I'm expecting too much because this is an OCN TV series Regret is always at the end (lol) ... I've already started this, so I'll finish watching it. I just want to see what will happen at the ending.

If there's someone who's reading the reviews here and haven't started watching this... don't watch this stupid series (lol). Not recommended. Full of stupidity. All of the characters are stupid, and weak (except the serial killer lol). Literally, your blood will boil while watching this. The actors portrayed their role very well (100%) but the plot really sucks. I really hate the writer and director.

... Apr 10 2022 10:00 am Just watch episode 2 and i really like the drama!! Can't wait to see the ending, hehe.

bumkey Apr 08 2022 6:51 am omg this drama give me headache.. why all of them so stupid? lee hochul/detective chu and sua.. detective chu think she can beat serial killer easily? lol is this joke.. lee hochol so weak.. I've been waiting for him to cameback in kdrama.. but director make his character look so bad.

GnetDeJesus Apr 07 2022 4:32 am Jin Goo is a waste talent here. I like him as an actor, but this show made him pathetic. Knowing that this is OCN...this is a failure.

jingo_poor Apr 05 2022 8:03 pm Why does the director make Jin Goo look so stupid in this drama. One scene , where his friend security guard got beaten up , he was just standing there and look at it ... is this normal? I can't stop cursing looking at this drama...

Han Apr 04 2022 8:56 am Haha, I agree with Lynn and with all other comments before this. Plot is rather unrealistic, the recent episode being the policewoman investigating on her own. She should have informed her partner who the suspicious person was, why she thought he was suspicious and what led her to believe that he was indeed the killer.

Lynn Apr 04 2022 8:45 am Sorry, i was referring to the lady detective who got stabbed in this episode.

Lynn Apr 04 2022 8:43 am I just watched episode 4 tonight. What a stupid & annoying plot it is. Knowing how dangerous & psychopathic the suspected killer is, she shouldn’t have followed him & acted alone recklessly.

Pokeman Mar 30 2022 3:57 am Isn't He was a firefighter? Why he was so weak...sooo weak. Have no power to drag a wounded person.. didn't know how to carry person on the shoulder? how come..

pikachu Mar 28 2022 6:13 pm Won Geun's role in the drama is like a mouse who has been sneaking around with many clues on the surface but why didnt the police and Lee Ho chul be wary of him? or maybe not yet i guess. and i wished Lee Ho chul could be even smarter? maybe he should have been a cop and no Soo Ah's omma. in spite of this, thumbs up to the good acting by the casts and the next ep looks exciting, i hope.

Delly Mar 27 2022 12:37 am Lost interest after watching episode 2. Major loophole. It's so absurd I'm almost laughing. How come the main actor just stand there when someone who help him fighting with the villain. After that guy was stab, only then he remember to spray fire extinguisher towards the villain. So funny. I can make a storyline better then this. With how it is, I don't think the episodes will get better. So, until then.

Pinball Mar 21 2022 7:51 am Poorly produced drama with a rather poorly constructed plot and equally all round poor acting.

Kathryn Mar 20 2022 2:24 pm It seems like a good series but there are some details that boggles my mind: how a random person entering a crime scene from a suspected serial killing isn't immediately questioned and investigated? After all, it's common knowledge that serial killers tend to come back to their crime scene. How couldn't the special task force NOT see the connection of the way the murders were presented (blood of the victims obviously painted all over the wall) and not immediately think it was a serial killer (the detective says that only after three or four victims they suspected a serial killer).

thefabulouspotato Mar 16 2022 10:11 pm honestly im just so frustrated at the bratty daughter in the first episode. there better be character development because i really dont like this moody teen towards nice parent trope

Ingrid Mar 14 2022 8:00 pm @Sand I think it's because the story is not about who the killer is buat about the day of Lee Ho Chul in order to save his daughter.

Sand Mar 14 2022 11:50 am Why would you name the killer in the synopsis ?

nothinkel Feb 27 2022 8:22 pm uri actor Jingoo & wongeun is back... as always OCN style ?

Saher khan Feb 17 2022 11:36 am I had read the comic.

withjoyfulsenesence Nov 13 2021 11:12 am The storyline is very stressful for me. But it is expected of an OCN drama. Hahaha. Anyways, I love the casting. Looking forward to great acting from Jin Goo, Do Kwon and Won Geun :)

Iamdumb Nov 13 2021 6:49 am Looking forward.Seems interesting.
