Review Summary and Plot Commentary about H
The movie opens up with Detective Kim Mi Yun (Jung-ah Yum) and her brash new partner Detective Kang Tae Hyun (Jin-hee Ji) in a garbage dump looking over the corpse of a young woman. The grisly murder scene has all the markings of the psychopath Shin Hyun (Seung-woo Cho). But they know it has to be a copycat because ten months earlier, after kiling six women, Hyun turned himself in and is on death row. After a quick investigation, another dead woman is found and Detectives Yun and Kang decide to go see Hyun in prison. After getting only riddles from Hyun they follow what seems like good leads: a man who was in the same prison as Hyun, a former schoolmate, and even his psychiatrist is suspected of involvement. But Yun presses on; studying the evidence while dealing with the loss of her partner and lover. It finally looks like they've got the killer who they thought had been manipulated by Hyun. But it wasn't over. After Hyun was put to death Kang get a mysterious package from Hyun inthe mail.
