The Vanished

In the sleek, press‑filled corridors of the National Institute of Scientific Investigation, a sudden disappearance shatters the routine of research and protocol. A renowned scientist’s body vanishes without a trace, sending ripples through a world where precision is everything and secrets are guarded as closely as data. The atmosphere crackles with a blend of clinical sterility and underlying unease, setting the stage for a mystery that feels both personal and institutional.

Woo Joong Shik, a seasoned detective with a reputation for probing the shadows behind official narratives, is called in to untangle the baffling case. His methodical mind meets the institute’s tightly wound bureaucracy, and his presence introduces a quiet intensity that contrasts with the polished exterior of the scientific community. As he begins to sift through testimonies and forensic subtleties, the line between fact and speculation grows increasingly thin.

Park Jin Han, a respected professor and the missing researcher’s husband, insists that his wife may still be alive, injecting a volatile mix of hope and doubt into the investigation. His academic background and personal connection to the vanished scientist add layers of complexity to the detective’s pursuit, hinting at hidden avenues of knowledge and concealed motivations that could reshape the inquiry at every turn.

Yoon Seol‑hee, celebrated for her groundbreaking work, becomes the focal point of a narrative that explores how grief, reputation, and ambition intersect in a high‑stakes environment. The film’s tone balances cold procedural intrigue with lingering emotional undercurrents, inviting viewers to linger on the tension between what is seen and what remains obscured. As the story unfolds, the audience is drawn into a world where every whispered clue could unlock a deeper truth, and where the search for answers becomes as compelling as the mystery itself.
