Korean films and dramas have long been known for their grisly serial killer tales, but criminal profiling — the application of behavioural sciences on criminal investigations — was only adopted by South Korean law enforcement in the year 2000.
If that sounds familiar, you might be thinking of either the Netflix show Mindhunter or the non-fiction bestseller it was based on, Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit, based on the experience of FBI agent John E Douglas, the world's first criminal profiler. We first meet him as a child in 1975, visiting an amusement park. He boards a pedal boat with his mother and while reaching for a balloon he trips and falls into the lake. The mirth, music and colours of the fair are erased by the surface of the water, under which he floats in eerie silence until he finds himself face to face with the corpse of a young woman, decked out in sinister scarlet.
The first two episodes of Through the Darkness largely concern Ha-young's investigation into the true murderer of the young woman — and another who is soon discovered — and end with the formation of the Criminal Behaviour Analysis Team, whose more scientifically minded cases we can reasonably look forward to in subsequent episodes.
