Shadow Detective (형사록) is a mystery-crime Korean drama series directed by Han Dong-hwa and stars Lee Sung-min, Jin Goo, Kyung Soo-jin and Lee Hak-joo, alongside other cast members.
We last saw Lee Sung-min in Juvenile Justice as Kang Won-joong; Jin Goo is known for his role in Descendants of the Sun as Seo Dae-young, while Lee Hak-joo is known for his role as Jung Tae-joo in 2021’s My Name. Director Han Dong-hwa’s last directorial venture was Navillera with Park In-hwan and Song Kang.
Shadow Detective follows veteran detective Kim Taek-rok who is on the brink of retirement. As he waits for his time at the police station to come to a natural end, he receives a phone call from someone who changes his entire life – a mysterious person tells him that he killed his colleague. This revelation soon spirals into Taek-rok getting incriminated in the murder case and trying his best to prove his innocence and bring the murderer to justice.
Along the way, he takes the help of the new head of the detective squad Kuk Jin-han along with Lee Sung-a and Song Kyung-chan. Will the detectives be able to find out who this murderer is?

Shadow Detective Episode 3 Predictions
The upcoming episode is likely to take a step closer to Taek-rok’s ghosts of the past. As the last second of the previous episode left him hanging off a cliff and facing off against the hooded figure, the show has barely begun for it to already reveal the ‘friend’s’ true identity. High chances are that the conflicting exchange between the two will deepen further and put Taek-rok in harm’s way more than one could’ve anticipated. Once Jin-han traces the connection of the case to this anonymous caller as per his separate investigation, we can also expect the two colleagues to join forces to better their odds.
