Stranger (2017)
The prosecution will no longer be swayed by those with power, and rise again to fight. We’ll exercise our rights on indictment accurately. We’ll remember that the people are the ones who truly hold the power to appoint us, and devote ourselves to you. We’ll take responsibility. We’ll strive to become fairer and more honest. We’ll do our best to make sure another such monster will never emerge from our ranks. – Hwang Shi-mok
Stranger Synopsis : Hwang Shi Mok had brain surgery when he was a child, which caused him to lack emotion. Now, Hwang Shi Mok works as a prosecutor. He is rational, but cold and lonely. He is also one of the only prosecutors not involved in corruption. One day, a dead body is thrown in front of him. He meets Police Lieutenant Han YeoJin at a murder crime scene.

- Stranger has a quite typical “Who did it?” story, but it is marvelously told.
- I think what’s good about this drama is the fact that it had a clear focus, and never bent away from the plot.
- The characters are the true gems of this drama. Everybody fits his or her role perfectly.
- I want to confess that I ship Hwang Shi Mok and Han Yeo Jin.
