Cha Jae Hwan initially suspects neurosurgeon Lee Joong Yeob, but as he starts to believe in his innocence, together with FBI profiler Eugene Hathaway, they start working to find the truth of both Chimera cases.
Thriller, MysteryRewatchable? - Yes, although not as much as FOE or Mouse, but I still really enjoyed it.
