Since you don't know much about the characters, you actually care about them as they discover things at the same time as you. Even though you don't have a lot of answers, the writer feeds you enough to keep you engaged in the story. The first 6 episodes are easily the most cohesive part of the drama. The story makes you not only wonder who are the good and bad guys, but also wonder if there are any good guys at all. Interesting plot, uninteresting characters When you have a title that is this ambitious, it's hard to not compare Awaken to the ones that came before, and in my opinion, Awaken falls short. Will this team of experts be able to solve a case nearly thirty years in the making? But they soon realize that the incidents of the present tie strongly to those of the past. Joined by Jamie, a detective on loan from the FBI, Jung Woo and Hye Won set out to unravel the present mysteries of this small village. Tenacious and hot-tempered, she’s determined to solve every case, by any means necessary, and this case is no exception. Working alongside Jung Woo, Officer Gong Hye Won refuses to let anything stand between her and what she wants. But this isn’t a mystery he’s allowed to solve on his own. After reports of numerous mysterious incidents begin to filter in, Jung Woo springs into action. While his outward appearance likens him more to an unruly child than a legendary officer, his keen insight and quick wit make him more than capable of solving any crime.

But when a new string of mysterious incidents begin to take place, memories long-forgotten begin to resurface, and this time, the villagers' cries for help will not go unheard.Ī legend among his peers, Do Jung Woo is the leader of one of the National Police Agency’s special task forces.

While the events were never fully understood, nor the mystery behind them solved, the stories surrounding the village slowly faded, drifting into obscurity amidst the steady passing of time. It’s been nearly thirty years since one small village was plagued by a mysterious string of events that shook it to its core.
