When Homicide Detective Kang Oh Soo hit a dead end in his investigation of two seemly unrelated murders, except for the Tarot cards left behind at both crime scenes, he sought help from Seo Hae In, a woman with psychometry ability. She revealed that the killers were different in each murder, but the victims were chosen for their connection to a death of a high school boy. Later, the cases proved to have one more thing in common: the suspects have the same defense attorney, Oh Seung Ha.
Seung Ha's defense for his clients severely shaken Oh Soo’s conviction to catch the Tarot Card mastermind. Oh Soo was reminded that years ago he had killed a high school classmate in a fight. He was acquitted of all charges and began his life anew. Now, someone has came back to revenge the boy’s wrongful death by killing those who got him off.
My Review: Love this drama a lot. This is my 1st detective-thriller drama to be added to my collection. Hope to have more of this kind coming soon.. of course, the mysterious Jo Ji hoon, who starred in Princess Hours caught my eye first. But the other lead guy, Uhm Tae woong outshine him.. The ending was unexpected. So that gave me a thumbs up for this drama.

My Review: I'm falling in love with Kim Rae-won every minute of the drama.. Haiz, poor Gong Yoo have to be in military. But guess what?! Kim Rae-Won is going military SOON too! Argh!!! What's with the government dragging this good 28 year old actors to military such at a late age!! But anyway, this drama was great! It shows you different kinds of Korean cuisine. it also have one of my fave dishes, Samgyetang. The plot was good! Wish I could elaborate more but you just have to watch it, to know it!
