As a killing resembling a cold case resurfaces in a small town, the chase for the truth falls on two policemen who each harbor secrets of their own. In the course of uncovering the culprit's identity, they question the innocence of everyone involved in the case, including themselves. "Who is the monster?" "Is it you?" "Is it me?" "Is it us?"
We found this because we'd seen Yeo Jin-goo in The Crowned Clown and wondered what else he'd done. This showed other facets to his range as he played the entitled, determined young cop with a lot of baggage. We were also wowed by Shin Ha-kyun opposite him as someone with so much baggage he shouldn't be able to stand up straight.
I don't usually like serial killer plots but my daughter is unfazed by them so she could fill me in on plot points when I had to look away. This morphed into a multi-layered investigation into much more than a serial killer, which I didn't expect. There were some plot holes but they were more than made up for by the simply excellent acting by the two leads. I should add that the other acting was great too.
