Its first episode, aired Monday at 10 p.m. on SBS, set the tone for a dark tale of ambition and vindication. Actress Lee Bo-young returns to the small screen after her role as a feisty prosecutor in the 2013 show “I Can Hear Your Voice,” this time as policewoman Shin Young-joo, who looks into a murder case in which her father is a suspect.
Shin’s father receives a phone call from a colleague and rushes over, only to discover he has been killed. The police, however, arrest him at the scene. Shin, meanwhile, points to Choi Il-hwan (Kim Kap-soo), the ruthless head of the law firm Taebaek, as the chief suspect.

The episode ends with Shin seducing a drunk Dong-joon and threatening him with sexual abuse charges.
Penned by Park Kyung-soo and directed by Lee Myung-woo, the show will air Mondays and Tuesdays on SBS.
