Phantom (Hangul: 유령; RR: Yuryeong) is a 2012 South Korean television series, starring So Ji-sub, Lee Yeon-hee, Uhm Ki-joon, Kwak Do-won, and Song Ha-yoon.[1][2][3] The police procedural tackles crimes and clues in the cyber world, weaving a massive, twist-filled mystery of murders, identity switches, corruption and conspiracy.[4]

It aired on SBS from May 30 to August 9, 2012 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:55 for 20 episodes.[5]

Plot

Kim Woo-hyun is the only son of a prominent police officer. Determined to make his own mark, he breezes through police academy,[6] and along the way racks up accolades, top of the class honors, a lot of praise and perhaps envy from his colleagues.[7] Assigned to the cyber investigations unit,[8] Detective Kim finds himself entrenched in an intense cat and mouse game with faceless enemies in the cyber world. Tirelessly hunting a hacker named Hades, he traces the hacker's location to an apartment building and arrives just in time to witness an actress fall to her death from the high-rise. What appears initially to be a suicide case reveals a trail of crime and conspiracy that leads to an enigmatic nemesis, and may link right back to Woo-hyun himself.
