Last February 29, "Memorist" unveiled a new character teaser showcasing a sneak peek into Han Sun Mi's character. In the teaser, she was seen looking at a giant map that is contained with graphs, images, news clippings, and notes. She gazes closely at the board as a voiceover says, "The culprit is in the data. I chase records."
She perfectly checks in on a single piece of evidence as all of the irrelevant things seem to fly off the board to make her choice clearer. And as everything was the way it was, she picks up the phone and says, "I've found the culprit." Han Sun Mi utilize her experience and talents as an analytical profiler to find criminals which is different from Dong Baek, who uses his supernatural powers.
