Entrancing detective\/seduction story that only lost me when Tang Wei buries\/drowns herself on the beach.

Lead guy Park Hae-il (brother of Song Kang-ho and Doona Bae in The Host<\/a><\/em>) exonerates her in her husband’s rock climbing death, falls for her, then discovers how she’d committed the crime and manipulated evidence.

Now Detective Park is fully messed up, losing his own wife and chasing after the murderess, who is pretty far gone herself, what with the beach finale.
