Memories of Murder [Film and TV Commentary]

In 1986, in Hwaseong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, on a dizzyingly hot summer day, a female body was found beside a field. It already stinked. Small town police agent Park (played by Song Kanghao) and agent Su (played by Kim Sang-kyung) from Seoul took over the case. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the female body was raped before her death. The serious lack of clues allowed the inexperienced Agent Park and his partner Agent Cao (Jin Luohe) to rely only on rough confessions and sixth sense inferences to beat the suspect several times. Detective Su was objective and calm, and based on rational analysis, he ruled out suspicion several times. There were constant conflicts within the police to prove and overturn. However, innocent women were still brutally murdered one after another, so they had to reach a consensus and work together. At this time, a young man (played by Park Hae Il) who perfectly fits the characteristics of the crime became the biggest suspect. The police nervously locked on him. At the same time, the DNA test report was also sent to the United States. However, the case did not stop here.
