Detective Mr. Gong

In a bustling metropolis, where corruption seeps through the cracks of a seemingly functioning society, Detective Gong Pil-du toils in obscurity. On the surface, he appears to be an unlikely candidate for the esteemed title of detective – a 40-year-old man with a tarnished credit record and a string of unfulfilled promises. However, appearances can be deceiving. Behind the façade of a mediocre detective lies a man with a storied past, one who has earned the distinction of being a bronze medalist at the Universiade wrestling championships. Gong's meteoric rise to athletic stardom is a distant memory now, lost in the annals of time, like the fleeting glory of sports fame. His wrestling days, once filled with the rush of competition, have given way to the humdrum routine of investigating crimes that fail to yield results. It's a harsh reality check for a man who once dreamed big, but now toils in the trenches of a police department that seems to value his athletic prowess more than his actual investigative skills. Gong's personal life mirrors his professional stagnation. He remains a lonely bachelor, unable to form meaningful relationships or find a sense of direction in his life. His greatest crisis, however, comes when his beloved father falls ill and requires a major surgery that lies beyond their meager means. With the family's financial future hanging precariously in the balance, Gong is forced to confront the abyss of his own desperation. In a last-ditch effort to save his father's life, he turns to a dubious figure – a ruthless crime boss who offers a deal that seems too good to be true. With a heavy heart and a sense of trepidation, Gong accepts the crime boss's offer. He is tasked with delivering a valuable package, an errand that sets him on a path that blurs the lines between right and wrong. As a detective, he has always prided himself on upholding the law, but now, in a moment of desperation, he finds himself compromising his integrity. The package delivered, Gong is left with a newfound notoriety – suspicion that he is a corrupt cop. Gong's world begins to crumble as the whispers of doubt spread throughout the police department. His colleagues, once colleagues in the truest sense, now regard him with suspicion and distrust. His reputation in tatters, Gong finds himself at the crossroads of his life. Will he be able to clear his name, or will the weight of his actions crush him forever? Determined to prove his innocence, Gong sets out on a quest for redemption. He embarks on a perilous journey, navigating the treacherous underworld of crime and corruption that has consumed his life. With each step, he faces increasing danger, but also a newfound sense of purpose. The man who once felt lost and aimless now finds himself driven by a fierce determination to clear his name. As the stakes grow higher, Gong's investigation leads him down a rabbit hole of deceit and betrayal. He uncovers a web of corruption that extends far beyond his own department, a network of dirty cops and powerful crime lords who will stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power.
