“[Monster], a drama that raised the bar for psychological mystery dramas,
“It’s not just a simple ‘finding the culprit,’ it’s a human story that considers the wounds of those left behind!”

"Who is the monster? Me, you, or us?" The drama "Monster" constantly asks the question! It centers around the story of two detectives uncovering the truth behind a series of gruesome murders that occurred 20 years apart.
However, [Monster] is not a drama that simply plays the game of ‘finding the culprit.’
Of course, there are dead people (and there are more than one or two), so finding the 'bad guys' who killed them is a very important task.
However, we must not forget that when there is a death, there are bound to be those left behind, and the pain, wounds, and sorrow they must endure are of a depth and magnitude that others cannot fathom.
The drama [Monster] does not miss this point.
This is tracked meticulously and persistently.
This is one of the important virtues of [the monster].

If you go to any police box, district office, police station, or police agency in Korea, your son will be there.
No, even if she is your daughter, you cannot report her missing.
Article 2 of the Act on the Protection and Support of Missing Children, etc.
Children under 18 years of age, or people with intellectual disabilities, autism, or mental disabilities,
And if a dementia patient goes missing, report the missing person and search without delay.
Or, it must be decided whether or not to conduct an investigation.

Because this is the only missing person's law that exists in South Korea.

School ties, delays (swiping away the wet tissue that Gwangyeong gave me) unwanted kindness,
Throwing out things like interest (looking around at everyone) at after-parties, company dinners, etc.
I was digging, asking, and talking about what I have and what's around me.
In the end, please find out this, please do that...
(Smiles) I don't really like that kind of thing.

(In one stroke) Son.
You learn faster than anyone else.
I hope you learned it properly this time.

If you do nothing and just sit still, no accidents will happen.

So, (coolly) don't do anything and just stay still.

(Poking and pressing the body in the photo) The day this woman's identity is revealed...

You, me...
Everyone dies.
(gritting his teeth and spitting out his anger) It's an order.
Detective Han Ju-won.

You don't know what it means to be American for 20 years?
There is not a single bit of evidence left to identify the culprit.

The culprit came and showed up on his own two feet and said, "I did it."
There is no way to solve it unless you confess.
Which police in South Korea would give such a case top priority?
Why is that something that no one cares about?
--- p.103, from “The Ambassador of the Second Refining”

Han Kyung-wi.
Don't do it.
The shaman catches people...
People like us who are legally armed and handcuffed
If I make a mistake while using the knife, my hair won't fall out.
That guy's neck is cut off.
(self-deprecating smile) That's what I did to Dongshik.
