Plot

Private detective Hong Gildong is a man haunted by an unavenged past. As a child, he witnessed the brutal murder of his mother, an act perpetrated by a man simply known as Kim. Now an adult, he is a quirky yet infallible private investigator with an extraordinary memory. His pursuit for justice leads him to the doorstep of Kim's bewildered grandchildren, who reveal their grandfather's mysterious kidnapping. As Gildong delves deeper into the case, he finds himself tangled in a web of conspiracy far greater than his initial quest for retribution. In his relentless pursuit of the truth, Gildong realizes that behind Kim's disappearance is the malevolent leader of a vast cult, a man whose hands are stained with a terrifying, bloody secret. Caught in a labyrinth of deception and danger, Gildong allies himself with Kim's grandchildren. Together, they challenge the ominous forces that stand in their way. The investigation evolves into a high-stakes gamble, as Gildong's personal vendetta becomes a fight against a nefarious collective power. In the end, Gildong must confront not only his mother's killer but also the shadowy figure pulling the strings from the darkness. Phantom Detective is a thrilling exploration of a man's relentless pursuit of justice, a journey that leads him to confront a chilling past and face an uncertain future.
