Hwang Shi Mok underwent brain surgery as a child to curb his violent temper, which left him devoid of emotions. Hwang becomes a prosecutor known for his piercing intelligence and logic, but he is ostracized because he lacks empathy and social skills. He is also one of only a handful of upright prosecutors who have refused to take bribes. One day, he encounters a stabbing victim while investigating corruption. He meets Lieutenant Han Yeo Jin at the crime scene. They join forces to root out corruption at the prosecutors’ office and solve a serial murder case.

One of the best shows I've seen. Incredible writing, even with season 2 that moved slower than 1 but was as impactful. The acting is 10/10

Amazing drama, it was the best drama I ever seen. I decided to watch this drama because of Cho Seung Woo after watching him in "Life" (which was also amazing and coincidentaly this drama and "Life" was written by the same writer, so if you want the same feeling as this one, watch "Life"). I loved Kwang Shi-mok and Han Yeo-jin, they worked so well together and I didn't expected some events that happened in this drama, so I'll give a 10 and I hope there will be a second season.

This is a brilliant mystery that unravels despite the systemic conflict between the dueling arms of the Korean law agencies - Prosecutors and Police. It is a political thriller, a intelligence puzzle, a social commentary, an unusual buddy movie, and an all around great watch. Hwang Si-mok and Bae Doo-na do a superb job crafting complex characters that have to navigate the malstrom between the form and function of their jobs. The writing is brilliant. The bread-crumbs are subtle. Everything you need for a good crime drama is laid out in this production. I give this series an 8 (exquisitely crafted and performed) out of 10. [Crime Drama Mystery]

TLDR: If you like mystery shows that just keep you guessing, _Strangers/Secret Forest_ is the show for you. It pulls you every which way with its characters, subplots, and beautiful technical work. **I haven't regretted a minute of watching this incredible piece of work.** The best way to go int More
