Summary:

In this gripping drama series, viewers are introduced to a policewoman with an extraordinary gift – her heightened sensitivity to the world around her and the emotions of others proves both a boon and a bane in her profession. While it aids her in uncovering the truth behind cases, the intense stimuli can often become overwhelming for her.

The premise is underpinned by a sobering realization: that many ordinary individuals are merely "spectators" to sin, contributing to a world rife with covert forms of cruelty and psychological affliction, which, although detrimental, aren't always actionable by law.

The policewoman's solitary existence takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a kindred spirit in the empathetic proprietor of a local eatery. Their shared ability to deeply empathize with others lays the foundation for an intense romance. However, the city is simultaneously plagued by a series of chilling crimes where past perpetrators are found dead, with the eerie signature of burning sage adorning each crime scene. These murders attract public attention as the work of the 'Sage Killer,' a vigilante intent on purifying society.

Our protagonist, torn between her duties and her emotions, dives headlong into the pursuit of justice. However, the investigation spirals into personal turmoil when she discovers that her lover is not who she thought. The restaurant owner, having taken on the mantle of the 'Sage Killer,' refuses to remain passive in the face of injustice but instead resorts to extreme measures. Caught between her love and her moral compass, the policewoman faces an agonizing decision as she confronts the harsh reality that sometimes, the heart and the law are at odds.

    Hidden Gem Alert! I recently stumbled upon a captivating drama that seems to be flying under the radar. Once I started watching, I found myself utterly engrossed, devouring all the episodes in a mere two days. The snowy weekend provided the perfect excuse to indulge in this hidden treasure. What initially drew me in was the intriguing storyline, which offered a somewhat unique twist. The casting, particularly the performances of Pakho and Venus, held my attention effortlessly, while the rest of the ensemble delivered solid...

    portrayals.

    One aspect that truly set this drama apart was the cinematography, which lent it a cinematic quality that elevated the viewing experience. The narrative itself, with shades of a subdued anime featuring characters with extraordinary abilities or a compelling mastery of psychological manipulation, offered a refreshing departure from the usual fare. While the depiction of these special powers may have pushed the boundaries of realism, the overall narrative arc and the strength of the cast were more than enough to keep me hooked.

    In a landscape where discerning viewers are increasingly critical of TV dramas, this particular thriller managed to pique my interest in a way I hadn't anticipated. I wholeheartedly recommend giving this slightly off-kilter gem a chance, even coming from someone who tends to scrutinize contemporary TV offerings with a discerning eye.
