Shadow Detective Episode 5 Predictions
As per the happenings of the last episode, Taek-rok is bound to slip into a self-blame game after witnessing Jin-han turn into a victim of the hooded figure as well. This might further push him to take on the pressures of the missions assigned by the ‘friend’ alone once again. Although he thought he’d tread a bit closer to unmasking his identity, the new accident will serve as yet another scar on his conscience.
Shadow Detective Episode 4 Recap
Taek-rok and Jin-han finally joined forces after their suspicions about each other die out after a long time. The former veteran is gradually losing his composure and patience to deal with the hooded figure’s intentions as his vision starts getting blurred while guessing his identity. Suspecting everyone around, he can’t trust anyone but then he realizes that the clues to finding out about the ‘Friend’ are rather closer than he’d first imagined. However, teaming up with Jin-han, who shared quite a few similarities with him, is not only detrimental to him but also ends up endangering the younger detective’s life.
