"Longing For You" is an investigation drama about a cop named Jin Sung, he's really passionate about his job and tries to do everything to catch criminals. Young Joo is his childhood friend who's a prosecutor, the two are still friends even as adults. Jin Sung starts to work on a case about a serial killer and unexpectedly, his brother Jin Woo is brought in as a suspect. This starts the chain of events that changes their lives forever. Yeong Woon works alongside Young Joo and he's clearly in love with her. He's also investigating the murders and the truth is connected to him.

The killer's name is Gi Yeong, he's Young Woon's friend. He started all of this to get his revenge. Gi Yeong wanted to create a serial killer, with the purpose of framing Jin Woo, Jin Sung's brother, to stop Yeong Woon's transplant. This sound confusing right? Let's me explain.
Jeong Sook is Gi Yeong's mother. She knew her son needed a heart transplant, so she went to find a donor. That was the whole purpose of his friendship with Gi Yeong, because he's Young Woon half-brother, as is Jin Woo, they have the same father.

Yes, Gi Yeong was completely wrong and deserves to be punished for what he did, but in my opinion the real monster is Jeong Sook. This woman used the excuse to the end that she was doing this for her son, as if only he was important and that was the role of a mother.
There are many victims in this story, but the biggest of all is Yeong Woon, because even though he was alive, he ended up losing everything. The heart in his chest belongs to his half-brother who was killed by his mother and his other brother is in prison. Yeong Woon also lost Young Joo since he can't be with her after finding out what happened to Jin Woo.

A very intense drama, from beginning to end. With an incredible cast of Kwon Yool, Lee Kyu Han, Kim Ji Eun and Na In Woo, the story grabs you from the first moment and instigates curiosity at all times to discover the truth.
The soundtrack is great and fits perfectly with the story ^^
