Just under a decade ago, South Korea was shaken to the core by a financial fraud project. Thousands of unsuspecting victims were tricked into investing their life savings. After the project was exposed as a scam, its mastermind Noh Sang Chun (Heo Sung Tae) ran away to China in a bid to escape the police. But he was soon after reported to have died in mysterious circumstances. The trail went cold. But some eight years after he was reported dead, the evidence appears to suggest that the notorious fraudster is still alive! A spate of killings begins, with Noh Sang Chun apparently linked to the deaths.

Trying to piece together the truth is the police officer and former lawyer Goo Do Han (Jang Geun Suk). Also on a quest for truth is a reporter named Cheon Na Yeon (Lee Elijah). She believes that a number of the murders have been covered – and that police investigations into the death may have been botched. The stakes begin to rise as games become deadly. What is really happening? And what role does Noh Sang Chun play in these fatal events?

This drama is the sequel to “Decoy: part 1.”

Once known as an ace detective in the police force, Lee Dong Sik’s (Shin Ha Kyun) present life couldn’t be more different than what he imagined it would be two decades ago.

Loyalties are tested and friendships are forged in the search for the person behind these mysterious murders.

A hard-working employee at a brokerage company, Yook Dong Shik (Yoon Shi Yoon) isn’t the type of guy who stands out in a crowd. Unassuming and quiet, with a timid personality and an inherent inability to stand up for himself, he’s the last person in the world you’d ever expect to experience anything exciting or unusual. But all of that is about to change.

Finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, Dong Shik plays witness to a gruesom murder. As if that weren’t awful enough, he happens to stumble upon the killer’s diary, a horrifying record of the heinous crimes committed by a clearly psychopathic serial killer. Terrified by what he has just witnessed and what he has just found, Dong Shik flees in a panic; but he doesn’t get far before he’s hit by the car of Sim Bo Kyung (Jung In Sun).

A member of the local police force, Bo Kyung is horrified by her involvement in Dong Shik’s accident; an accident that left him with two things: a horrible case of amnesia and a serial killer’s diary. Plagued by guilt, Bo Kyung finds herself being slowly drawn into Dong Shik’s life. As their stories entwine, Bo Kyung comes to make a life-altering decision: she must find the serial killer and bring him to justice.

There’s just one problem. With no memories of his past, Dong Shik comes to believe he’s the serial killer who penned that gruesome diary. As the days slip by, Dong Shik begins to make some serious personality changes, but can a man with such a timid past actually become a monster? And what of the actual serial killer? With no diary to ground him, it’s only a matter of time before this murderous madman strikes again.

Different Dreams

The year is 1940, and the Korean Peninsula is still under the colonial rule of Imperial Japan.

The Imperial Japanese are on the verge of what will soon be their undoing – their involvement in World War II. But even as the nation prepares for war, the colonial government is doing its utmost in its colony to stamp out the Korean language. Its goal is to promote the Japanese language and culture at all costs.

Against this backdrop, a group of people forms an unlikely alliance. Their aim is to produce a Korean language dictionary – an act of defiance and patriotism that could well see them land in very hot water with the colonial government.

This group is led by an erudite young scholar named Ryu Jeong Hwan (Yoon Kye Sang) and Kim Pan Su (Yoo Hae Jin), an illiterate, middle-aged petty thief.

Together with the rest of the group, the duo attempts to do the unthinkable – complete and publish a vital reference book that could help restore national pride in a language that has been placed under existential threat.

This film was partly based on a true story.
