The upcoming KBS drama Let's Get Caught by the Neck is a thriller that follows a journalist who is famous for her exclusive news stories and a passionate detective as they jointly investigate a series of murder cases.
It is based on a Naver series written by New Luck.

Actress Kim Ha Neul plays Seo Jung Won, a famous journalist with a strong sense of justice who believes in the people's right to know. She is a woman who fights the challenges that come her way.
Yeon Woo Jin plays Kim Tae Heon, the ace detective of the violent crimes unit. Kim Tae Heon is strong yet has a boyish charm to him.
