It is the beginning of something revolutionary

This drama was not much hyped. Even though it had one of the best Korean actor Kim Nam Gil in it. Even I came to know about this drama after it started airing. I usually start the drama from the first day it actually airs. So that I can be hyped for the upcoming episodes. But I just couldn't bring myself to start this drama as it was going to take a 3 week break because of the 2022 Winter Olympics. So I decided to start this drama when it was in its final week.

The actual story starts from the late 1990's. At that time Korea didn't had the criminal profiling which the US has been using for the past 20 years or so. So Kook Young Soo decides to create a team for profiling criminals. And asks Song Ha Young to be the profiler. Song Ha Young seems to be a cold person on the surface who could even be a psychopath but he is actually hiding his deep emotions. He is a kind person behind the cold mask he wears around the show. We also have Yoon Tae Goo the captain of the criminal 2 division. She comes out as a rude person at the start of the drama but she gets better with the passing episode. She is willing to listen to logical talks unlike other people in the division. And we have many other good supporting actors in this drama. But I personally hated Kim Bong Shik's character. All he did was complaint through out the drama.Choi Yoon Ji's and Jung Woo Joo's character were soothing to the eyes Han Joon Woo looks like Lee Joon Gi. He was good too. Kim Jung Hee also did a terrific job in playing the psychopath. His laugh makes you feel disgust and tremble.

As I have mentioned above in the title that it is the beginning of something revolutionary. It wasn't easy for the Behavioral Analysis team to do there work. As many who were unaware of their work criticized them. And even questioned the need for such a department. But that didn't let our guys down who kept there heads up and doing what they thought was necessary. And producing results too which many thought was just pure luck.

In this drama we see how criminal profiling is actually done. It kind of is like the ABCD of criminal profiling.Where they approach criminal profiling from the basic level. How a profiler finds it difficult to control his/her emotions while interviewing and investigating the criminals.

I have seen almost every good crime related drama that is to be seen. Through the darkness is definitely good but it didn't had that good of a story but still I don't know why I am quite satisfied after watching this show. I even binge watched it. And loved every moment of it. So I am rating it a solid 10/10 drama. Hopefully it gains the recognition it deserves. Do give this drama a watch as I assure you won't be wasting your time.
