Newlyweds Hyun-su and Soo-jin have it all – a loving relationship, a small but cosy apartment and, soon, a baby.

The less said about the story the better, but it would not be giving too much away to say that Jung’s Soo-jin anchors the piece. Veteran actress Jung, working with frequent collaborator Lee , moves from frightened wife to determined detective with ease.
