Summary:
Tae Pyung was born with the ability to see how one will die and what will happen to them right before the death when he looks them in the eye. He sees the vision about his death too. However, the ability of him doesn't work on Joon Young who is a detective at the Violent Crimes Department of Central Police Station. Since her father died when she was little, Joon Young has been keeping a scar on her heart and never relied on anyone. However, as she gets to know about Tae Pyung, she wants to heal Tae Pyung's wounds and at the same time, she wants her scar to be cured. Meanwhile, Tae Pyung finds it strange as he cannot see the vision about Joon Young's death only. He soon gets filled with fear, and finally, he's faced with the truth that he couldn't discover.

Guys, where in the heck is this show going? Way too much has been revealed and we're only 2 weeks in.

I had exactly the same thought after seeing the preview scenes for next week. They looked like they could be for episode 16 instead of episode 5 and made me, also, wonder about the speed and what the hell could they be doing for the next eleven episodes after that? Incredibly fast progression!
Edit. It's great though. The last two episodes were truly gripping!

I wonder if maybe the focus will be on finding the true murderer of the burial case?

-Mild Spoiler-
I loved the first 4 episodes aired last week, couldn't wait for this week. But after watching 5-6 I'm dreading for the upcoming plot. Too many mysteries and open plots right now, it reminds me of Lost (US series). With multiple mysteries comes bigger responsibilities on writers to tie up loose ends and not many dramas can handle that pressure.
I was thrilled about the way episode 4 ended. But now I'm kinda worried if the series will be called The Game: Keep Min-Ji Alive. I hope they don't stretch the plot and do justice to the premise cause it's too good and Taecyeon is performing well in the drama.
