SBS TV's forthcoming crime action drama "Through the Darkness" (also known as "Those Who Read Hearts of Evil") released its first video teaser, intensifying the excitement of fans and prospective viewers.

'Through the Darkness' to Depict the Story of South Korea's First Criminal Profiler

Based on the book of the same name, written by South Korea's first criminal profiler Kwon Il Yong, the teaser begins with his direct words, "I remember the feeling that I felt entering a dark room through a door that only I could pass through once."

Set in the late 1990s when there were numerous murder cases, the teaser showcases a woman walking in the rain, following by large and sinister footsteps. A new reporter delivers the case after the sound of a scream is heard.

In the middle of these blurry times, Song Ha Young (Kim Nam Gil) shows up with courage and strength, intimidating criminals before profiling.

His police senior Kook Young Soo (Jin Sun Kyu) asks, "Have you heard of a profiler? They analyze criminal behavior using open mind, intuition, common sense and analytical skills. It's a perfect fit for you, Ha Young."

At the end of the teaser, the words "Walk into the hearts of evil and witness the birth of the nation's first criminal profiler," describing Song Ha Young, appears on the screen.

Song Ha Young then promises, "This is not the end. I will definitely catch that culprit," hinting at the criminal chase, heightening anticipation.
