Like father like daughter—once that no sleeping pills in area seed was planted Sr Lee had his buddy help him find fingerprints from the scene to try different angle into determining culprit. We get to go back to the day and see what happened through elder brother’s eyes. He sees his mom trying to end it with sleeping pills and heads over to other brother’s home. He sees a very nice mom but also phone messages from his dad promising a divorce and marriage contradicting what Jin’s mom told him. Rather than picking up the phone and confronting his dad he opts for let’s kill her with sleeping pills and pose her like a suicide. In the present the brothers are duking it out and big brother admits everything…to the point he wished he’d killed little brother along with both parents. He got unexpected news that the dad was already aware and accepting of the situation. Lee is relieved her gun had no bullets and little brother informs big brother he wants him to live long with regret.😝 There is resolution for the mom but the time has expired for judgment. What this did result in was the harshest sentence they could give him for dad’s trial and his mom showed up in court to watch it happen. ISu was given the task of taking over the company, but he followed his father’s wish and put Mr Choi in charge. The board will have no complaints with this choice. Jin has a meal with Lee’s mom and he remembers what loving moms serve their kids for comfort food.🥰 Mr Lee apologizes for not investigating more thoroughly but ISu reminds him of the fatherly hug and kindness he gave at the time. Here I was hoping for another fatherly hug but that didn’t happen. I love the interaction between coroner and sidekick and I hope to see this continue in season 2. Right when the team decides it is time to clear Jin’s desk he shows up to start a new case. Everything is gearing for a season 2 and I am looking forward to it. I am disappointed that Lee’s character is being changed, but that really doesn’t deter me from wanting to see another season. I’m just hoping they find a way to keep her parents in the drama.

It is believed Mr Jin committed suicide after talking with ISu. I guess I am relieved they didn’t think he murdered him. The death is flakey like his mother’s, but right now he is consumed by guilt. During mourning period, it is poignant the divide between support for the brothers. The eldest has his crazy ass mother show up, again loudly blaming ISu for everything. I despise her character and have no words strong enough for how I feel about her. The team showing up for support says it all. His hug from Choi was like a little brother grieving with him. Stepbrother stepped out to let them mourn privately. He goes home and finds his father’s keepsake box that had a picture of his mother, her necklace, and a promise on the back to be a good husband and father. ISu is struck that his father’s words of love and devotion were true. At the gravesite the vultures are swooping wanting the elder brother to take over the company. Lee is pondering the lack of sleeping pills for Jin’s mom and is off to investigate. She has confirmed that sleeping pills were not anywhere in the vicinity of the villa even is Mr Jin went there for the sole purpose to commit suicide. At the reading of the will ISu leaves and tells the brother to handle it however he wants. The lawyer and Choi both know elder Jin wanted to revise his will and didn’t get to. Lee mentions the lack of pills to her dad and then chats with Jin. She tells him what she’s discovered and the case is still being investigated. Choi is struggling to let the board know his decision of who to make chairman and is saved by a phone call. Another twist is that Mr Jin knew all along about his wife and son, he opted to change his at the discovery he had a real son. Choi tries to get proof of who left the mansion but the SD card is removed. Jin has memories restored and remembers stepmom at the house. The investigation is swirling with the clues of stepmom and son trying to determine which or if both guilty of murder. The murderers calling each other out? They question each other about the two different murders. It was a rather chilling conversation from the son. He learned to be exactly like mom but the w.0 version. He is calmer and stealthier combined with pure ambition. She should be grateful his first choice is to protect her. It segues to the conversation with elder Jin after ISu left. Mom already asked if he took her pills and once dad revealed he wouldn’t become head of company son left and pills added to drink. That was quite the dramatic pause at the end when elder brother sees younger brother at his award ceremony. The extra segment with the brother that never lied. Can’t wait to see how they wrapped this up.

Jin was surprised to find his stepbrother involved. So originally it was not him trying to investigate his family via police. As the past crashed into the present, stepmom was also guilty of infidelity and was being blackmailed by her son’s father. In a twist of fate the true blood heir was the one always tagged illegitimate, while the son tagged legitimate was not the heir. As the story unfolds and Jin learns the truth of his stepbrother, he gives the paternity test to Lee and resigns. He then meets his father in some family cabin and demands the truth about his mother. He hid the pills as a child and they were for anxiety not sleeping. His dad is overwrought when he gets this news and is shown collapsed in a chair as Jin leaves. It is made to look like Jin killed his dad. Since he was still searching for the truth, it made no sense for him to do this in spite of how evidence points. His dad had relinquished his bid for mayor and discussed with Choi that eldest boy was not leader material for the company. The stepmother begged for her son but that wasn’t happening from Jin. It is to be determined how things will play out with the brothers, but their fathers caused a lot of grief, one by greed and one by manipulation. He was guilty of believing his wife and not questioning cause of death for his mistress. The stories of the woman he married and the woman he loved is coming to light. Even with another visit to psychiatrist, Jin cannot see who entered the house before his mom’s death. This drama does not fail with twists and unexpected turns that completely flip perception of what really happened, who did what , and when.

The victim made a last call to Jin’s brother who swears they are mere acquaintances and he has no clue why called. As things progress the story of Jin’s illegitimacy hits and the press is everywhere. He is aware of it but thought old, forgotten news. Mr Lee finds Lee’s recommendation to remove Jin from program. He cautions her about safety being near him. She reminds dad that had Jin not been there to save her, she wouldn’t be there. The kid on team has spent an all nighter and greets the others with his findings. They have ID’d the driver and are now tailing him. Turns out Jin’s stepbrother is the one meeting with him and there’s an injured girl in the trunk. Jin’s past is swirling and he’s recalling playing catch with his brother. Closing scenes indicate infidelity from both parents. We are finally getting to the true story behind Jin’s mother’s death.

This episode was a nail biter. Even knowing plot armor well in place it kept your heart going til rescue completed. Lee and Jin held their own well, but there just comes a time when assistance is needed. Prior to these to infiltrating the cult a reporter was already making progress. She was first shield for Lee. Bori thought it was total bs about the drone Jin bragged about. They didn’t even make it down the lane before police escort caught them. I am grateful the kid in the team started shooting at that damn pile. It was an emotional scene as Jin is trying to revive Lee in the tank and sidekick is kicking the hell out of the drawer to find button that will open the floor. Back to the autopsy that almost wasn’t. There is a drive that has all the evidence of fraud and corruption. The police commissioners face was clear and bright over that case of cash. The coroner did not know who to trust so I am pleased she had the foresight to make a copy of the information and to tell the officer she gave it to that she had. He was the one I was wondering about. It was satisfying to see the commissioner sweat watching his benefactor get totaled in tv. I love that Lee got to cuff Borai and that the commissioner was filed out of his office by a squad of guys. The kinder gentler senior is far more helpful but I don’t see the aura of a leader with him.It was a happy reunion at the Lee family residence as they take shots of soju celebrating. To see sidekick and Jin getting along was an interesting sight. The contest is now going to see how long it takes Jin to join the bestie club with Lee.😂🤣Mr Lee is back in uniform and promoted. Jin’s dad even called to check on him. There are baby steps in the right direction for many and justice served in full for the deserving miscreants. This was the most exciting episode for me. I can truthfully say I have been entertained every episode. Kudos to cast and production team for great characters and well choreographed fight scenes.

They are trying to soften up Lee’s senior and it’s not going over that well for me. I found him more real being an ass and a thorn in her side. He is at least keeping the cult case open longer since he rushed it last time. Lee has been suspended for a week but she did at least get to check out the file. Jin found the hidden message where the killed manager requested an autopsy in his suicide note. I am not sure if the wife can be convinced after feeling harassed by Lee. Jin and Lee find themselves embedded in the cult. She comes in as a new interested party and he starts at the top wanting to meet Bori. The leaders know both are there. Lee has done better disguising herself so they are not sure which new one is her, just that she is among them. Jin is underestimated because of his past use of games as his reality. They are probably more interested in his money than him. However, Lee is seen as more of a threat because of her father’s history with the cult. This is creepy turf where young people are dying and leaders are killed when they want to whistleblow on the cult. So far they have one fingerprint, no phones and are about to be found out in a leader’s room. Previews of next episode looks like this is gonna get real serious fast.

Jin and team find out more than they wanna know about managers and stalkers. They figured out a unique way to get confession from the culprit. Jin’s brother keeps showing up to check on him and seems fearful Jin is remembering. There is a lovely scene of Lee and her family. I love her parent’s vibe and hope they are included in season 2 even with actress change. They have been a big part in helping Jin heal. The older actress provided sage advice to Lee and Jin. She was very direct and didn’t sugarcoat anything. She was the one who was both gracious and the administer of tough love when needed. She reminded Jin to look at his good memories and stop trying to keep his mother here with the bad ones. It is still a process but he is gaining ground and remembering how much she loved him. Lee has received a message to meet with one who can provide evidence about her father. Unfortunately he will also be their next homicide case. Looks like next episode will finally tell us Mr Lee’s history and the case that cost him his job and reputation.

Jin is a complete mess and just checked out for now. He called out his father in the middle of a meeting and had a good chat with Choi. He learns more about what his mother is like and there are some flashbacks of happier times as a boy. While he is absent, his druggie friend is making a movie. Right after they complete filming, the lead actress is found dead onstage and everything points to druggie friend. Jin did not hesitate to show up for him. He should have left him hanging like what druggie did to him but he’s too good of a person. This also helps him get out of his slump in questioning staff to get info. They have not yet discovered who killed her but they have crossed druggie friend off the list even tho everything points to him.

Jin figured out where the USB drive was and they now had evidence. They did not view everything but they saw enough to understand why the doc wasn’t willing to give up the info and how heinous this was to be blackmailed with. They successfully hypnotized her to confess to the murders and one drop of blood on the scalpel proved she did it. Jin made a choice to destroy the drive to end the harm it could do. The reporter offered him a chance to swap the drive for the story about his mother. I think this convinced him that nobody should have what the drive contained. It was a wise and mature decision because he could have easily won his dad’s campaign for him had he wanted to. When Jin visited the doc in jail I was unhappy because I knew he would be hypnotized. But reflecting on it, she determined to protect her patients to the point of killing for them when their privacy was broken by thieves. And the fact that he willingly allowed her showed he needed to know no matter the consequences. So now Jin is seeing through the eyes of his seven year old self and his mom in the tub. He will be broken with this information. The real question is to what extent? Lee thinks it is too much for him to stay on the team and she had to listen to Jin thank her for not kicking him out. I do not know if she wavered in her decision to have him removed but whatever she decided was what she thought best for him.

This episode revolved around an eerie dehydration death, a murder and a hospital linking them together through a psychiatrist and blackmailer. The psychiatrist they spoke to knew Jin but didn’t say so. She did, however, speak to his dad. That reporter is nosing around Jin’s house trying to collect info to sabotage mayoral race. Fortunately Lee’s parents have put him off a bit. Ever since seeing the lighthouse snow globe Jin has had periods of thoughtful quiet. This is very unlike him and nobody knows what’s wrong until Lee’s mom mentions the reporter. She looked up the case and it’s one her father investigated. She is now aware of what’s going on with Jin and knows he does not remember. The psychiatrist tells Jin’s dad his memories will be returning soon. This episode has both sides gathering information and Jin jumping out of a window to catch perpetrator. They know what to look for now and turning the office upside down to find it.

Lee’s senior is a pendejo. I cannot believe he is going to such lengths to sabotage her case rather than right the wrongs of the two murder victims he closed as accidental deaths.😝 He is shamed by his superior for his backstabbing but he is determined to keep Lee in her place.😡 This type of person always has just enough power to wreak havoc for others and slimy enough to cover their tracks. If he set up her dad, I hope she gets to cuff him and put him in his place.😡Jin has taken out one billion to participate in seal auction. Lee looks a lot different dressed up, but she still has her no nonsense way of communicating. The thieves laugh at their trackers and run off with the cash. Lee hits up her dad to be their bait. He is unwilling to hope but Lee assure him she will find a way to get his job back. I am glad he is a capable man that can do other things outside of police work if necessary. He has managed to take care of his family in spite of the obstacles. Mom and auntie are cleverly away for a trip so dad can be the single old guy as bait. Lee is stressing some while they prep things. It got dicey but well done. 👏🏻That senior only looked worried for himself, not regretful or glad those two captured. He continues to piss me off every episode he is in. Lee let’s him save face but let’s him know he owes her a favor. Jin’s slime ball friend showed up so he isn’t out with his team. I really wish Jin would cut ties with this guy, but sadly, he’s too loyal. He does at least cut out early to join the team. It was annoying seeing the senior at press release, but Lee showed class that her senior will never possess. Jin has not won them all over, Lee or sidekick always has to be out of sorts, but they are a step closer to being a real team. Mom comes home to find dad in a good mood and wonders why. 😁

Jin and apprentice meet and things go sideways resulting in Lee being called to task for being a poor team leader. While she is being berated Jin’s butler makes him get checked out at the hospital and reports to his dad. Stepbrother shows up and he seems more creeped out than Jin at the back room both avoid. He is trying hard to get Jin to move out, but Jin is content with his current circumstances. Jin meets Lee’s father over sick tree. Lee remembers him as the young boy that collapsed on him. He knows what happened there. I think everybody know but Jin. Lee is an excellent officer and made rank in record time. What has her in a hotspot is a box of money found with her father right before retirement. The one who admits hate thinks Lee is covering up for her dad and not having case handled properly. Jin’s enemy is the reporter who wants to destroy him. I am not sureif because his exclusive was cancelled or he is in the pocket of opposite mayor candidate. Maybe both. They are wanting to break the story of how Jin’s mom died three days before the election. Jin is trying to call in but he can’t if Lee won’t answer her damn phone.😝 They catch the murderer and return credit to the true artist of those gallery paintings. His dad is quietly monitoring his son’s progress but too unwilling to show his son how proud he is. After what seemed to be an accidental death, Jin greets the team with a murder mystery revolving around a great seal the older man had in his possession. Lee’s sidekick in particular thinks Jin is believing fairytales and both men want to spar.Jin wants to find out if the seal was real and the rest of the team want him to get lost. Lee calls coroner and two more similar deaths. There is something flakey about the rice they just haven’t figured out why it is green.The other two cases closed by the one who hates her and he refuses to let the cases be changed.😝 Items are missing from each and the link is a local church. The culprits are sly posing as funeral photographers. This episode finally shows them cooperatively working as a team. The sr is also noticing.

Everybody is trying to determine who the mole is. Albert’s dad is put in charge of figuring out who and as expected, it doesn’t go well. It is now revealed that roomie has a child and the children’s home doesn’t keep very good track of her. Jang Mi has reluctantly agreed to let her stay so that her secrets will also be kept. Baby girl is a shrewd negotiator. Mr Cha’s photos have brought Ms Hong’s past dealings to light and Ms Song has noticed the resemblance. Shin has noticed the pay offs and knows why Jang Mi is there. He is also pretty sure it’s his ex posing as her sister. The risk management dept has upgraded the intranet to keep any transfers over 8% quarantined and negating transaction. An account has been terminated and Ms Song has made sure it is permanently. This episode is more serious as the net is closing in on who is going to find Yhepee first and the stakes are getting higher.

A renowned artist is found dead on the floor in front of a painting in his exhibit, ironically on the theme until death. It is discovered that anyone that truly knew him thanked God for his demise. The collection filling the gallery were paintings he stole from a student who took her own life when he had the audacity to sue her for plagiarism. The wife, gallery owner, apprentice and mother of dead art student are suspects. Jin has moved into his family home and there is quiet talking amongst staff if he will regain memories. The trauma at seven has been locked away and no one is sure it will stay that way. The fun part is he is next door to detective Lee’s parents. Her mom invited herself in and looked over the place as thoroughly as an appraiser. 😂 She leaves her number and hubby’s in case he needs a handyman. Lee hears Jin screaming and comes in to save him from the scary rat.😂🤣The coroner and Lee’s sidekick are cute. I like how direct and lethal she comes across when demonstrating the victim’s injuries. Love is in the air because the youngest on team is showing his gf around with Lee calling them lovebirds. Jin buys the damaged painting and discovers a different signature. He is commenting on this to the apprentice who cracks him over the head with a piece of art. This drama is fun to watch but would be better if all team members were more integral to storyline. The focus is on Lee and Jin which is expected, but the team as a whole needs more emphasis.

The body was a model and the suspects were one percenters. Jin told the detectives who each one was they entered the room. Detective Lee still hates him but she and Jin bounce ideas back and forth and get the job done between them. When the case was closed and they were at their celebratory dinner the kid of the group had the right question for Detective Lee….why was she splitting up the team when Jin had been helpful? He of course had a meal planned for all of them that she snubbed and made the other two feel guilty if left her choice of places. It was rather petty and she’s running out of excuses to be mean spirited. Jin’s step mom makes detective Lee look like a sweet angel comparatively. She is a horrid woman and it is no wonder his dad has the disposition he does married to this harpy😝 We now know they are step brothers and the family was combined. Jin asked him why he didn’t hate him when they invaded his home. He did at first, but his harpy mother was so obsessively mean to Jin that he took pity on him instead. If there is any hidden resentment, he doesn’t show it as he offers freely to bridge the chasm between Jin and both parents. Once his mother was killed, his dad fed him to the harpy and never looked back. We don’t know how the family was prior to her death, but it was certainly dysfunctional after. It’s a wonder these two men turned out normal in any capacity considering the lack of parenting. Jin had more appreciation for his stepbrother after seeing the mixed family and hatred between siblings. It may not improve his relationship with his dad, but he might actually be maturing on his own in spite of him. I am sure he was tempted to choke stepmom when she was sliding the wineglasses down to crash on the floor, but if it gets rid of her to lose his home, he still got the best end of the deal. Detective Lee is still being an ass but she and Jin did have a candid conversation as Jin paid for a proper funeral for the victim. He wondered what dollar amount equated to a life? The detective went with all lives are priceless. This episode had Lee and Jin working better together with her sidekick feeling kicked to the curb and the youngest on team Jin’s biggest fan.
