Synopsis
This 2018 Korean drama revolves around Kim Moo-young - a complex, mysterious man with a forgotten past. He meets and falls in love with Yoo Jin-kang, and although her initial impression of him is pretty negative, later she discovers that Moo-young is innocent and struggling to recognize about his past life. However, her older brother, Yoo Jin-gook, a homicide detective, suspects that Moo-young is more sinister than he lets on, oblivious to the fact that he is the key to both Moo-young and Jin-kang's intertwined history. The situation becomes more complicated when Moo-young regains his memories which leads him to find the truth about his father's death and more.[6][unreliable source?]
