Set to premiere on April 20, 'Scarecrow' released its second teaser on the 25th, showcasing the complex and tense relationship between Kang Tae-joo and Cha Si-young, played by Lee Hee-jun. The drama follows a detective investigating a serial killer, who unexpectedly teams up with someone he despises. Spanning from 1988 to 2019, the story revolves around two men entangled in a fateful connection. The cast includes Park Hae-soo, Lee Hee-jun, Kwak Sun-young, Song Geon-hee, Seo Ji-hye, Jung Moon-sung, Baek Hyun-jin, and Yoo Seung-mok.
The newly released teaser begins with Kang Tae-joo's tense whisper, "I'll catch you," as he becomes convinced that a series of murders in Gangseong are the work of the same perpetrator. However, his investigation takes an unexpected turn with the reappearance of Cha Si-young, who bullied him in school. While Cha Si-young greets him warmly, saying "I've missed you," Kang Tae-joo is reminded of his nightmarish past, creating a stark contrast that piques curiosity.
As the two reunite as detective and prosecutor on the same case after 30 years, an inexplicable sense of crisis looms over their joint investigation. The teaser ends with Kang Tae-joo's emotional warning, "I'm not the same Kang Tae-joo as before. Don't mess with me," followed by Cha Si-young's cryptic declaration, "I'll keep you by my side."
Park Hae-soo portrays Kang Tae-joo, a detective with keen observation skills and sharp instincts. After being demoted from Seoul to his hometown of Gangseong, he pursues the real culprit behind the serial murders. However, he faces a dilemma when he must collaborate with prosecutor Cha Si-young, the very person he despises, to catch the criminal he desperately wants to apprehend.
Lee Hee-jun plays Cha Si-young, an elite prosecutor with cold judgment and political savvy. He leads the investigation into the Gangseong serial murders as a stepping stone into politics, using any means necessary, even teaming up with Kang Tae-joo, the classmate he once bullied.
'Scarecrow' premieres on April 20 at 10 PM.
