Meet the Characters

According to the report, he’s a fellow pathologist working at the same center. He’s cool-headed and emotionally reserved, and he rarely lets others see what he feels. His focus on the deceased rather than the living has earned him the nickname “Jeoseung Hyuk,” a play on the word for “afterlife.” He keeps his distance, avoids personal connections and often wears a cynical, expressionless face. For him, work comes before everything else.
Song Do Eun (Lim YoonA): the forensic pathologist at the centre.
Yoona of Girls’ Generation was previously confirmed for the lead role. Her character is part of the team investigating unnatural deaths.
