Description:

The Policeman's Lineage is a gripping criminal drama exploring the intricate balance between law and justice. The story follows two starkly different policemen thrust together to handle a massive case that threatens to destabilize the entire police organization. Min Jae, a dedicated officer from a long line of law enforcement, firmly believes that any illegal action by the police, even for investigation, makes them criminals.

He is assigned a top-secret mission: to investigate Kang Yoon, an elite investigation team leader. Kang Yoon operates under a contrasting philosophy, asserting that the pursuit of crime justifies means that might be technically illegal. As Min Jae joins Kang Yoon's team, he witnesses firsthand the effectiveness of these unconventional methods. He begins to grapple with his deeply held beliefs, finding himself increasingly drawn to Kang Yoon's perspective and methods. This leads to a profound internal conflict. Will Min Jae fulfill his initial duty to arrest the leader he has come to trust and admire, or will his definition of justice irrevocably shift?
