Plot Synopsis
Shadow Detective, the latest K-drama to come to Disney+, opens in surprisingly comedic form for a dark thriller. Veteran detective Kim Taek-rok (played by Juvenile Justice’s Lee Sung-min) is chasing a criminal he’s been going up against for years, through a port area of the town Geumo. With both hitting middle age, it’s far from the high-speed adrenaline rush you’d find in a typical battle between cop and culprit, though. Instead, it’s marked by comical huffing and puffing, and pacts to let each other pause and catch their breath.
