This story revolves around a case that they are working on and she is the best of the best in her field. She can tell that a person has been poisoned when other can't. She goes undercover to try to catch the bad guys. They are trying to bring down a counterfeiting group but they find that there is so much more going on. They are also trying to uncover and stop the conspiracy that they find accidentally. Will Damo be found out? Or will they be able to complete their assignment?Think of this drama more as a western and police story. There is plenty of action throughout the whole drama. I bought this one because of those reasons. It is different from my other dramas. Plus some material arts thrown in.This does also have a star crossed love story in it. You want them to overcome everything to be together, but can they? How can these two opposites fall in love? You will have to watch it to find out.CommentsWe were glued to this drama from beginning to end. The scenery is beautiful and the scenes were shot very well.WARNING.......SPOILER ALERTBut for those that are confused at the beginning. That is because it is actually the end. I hope this helps you.THERE'S A DRAMA FOR THAT

Crouching Warrior, Hidden Lover
These outstanding episodes of action and love seduce you into the feudal world of ancient Korea. Any fan of House of Flying Daggers will soon be hooked. Damo is a title of a tea lady who also serves as an undercover warrior for government elite forces. Treated as a member of the lowly servant class, she develops an impossible love of the police captain but this is complicated by an irrestible attraction to the criminal who they must capture - a man who turns out to be Damo's long lost brother. Engagingly romatic, beautifully photographed, and even comic at moments, you will not be disappointed. (If you enjoy this series, an even better Korean episodic film is "Dae Jang Geum" Vol 1-3. Check that out too.)

My first and still one of my favorite Korean dramas.
This is my first Korean drama and it still remains one of my favorite. Very tragic, yet beautiful story with a strange love triangle twist that will make you cry, if you're sentimental. It also offers some interesting visuals and insights into Korean culture, martial arts and engaging conspiracy plot.Ha Ji-won is great here so are the others. Good music too. Highly recommended!

sublime, well written plot
Korea makes some of the best films in terms of quality and depth. The Lady Detective is set in the distant past. The charactor development is great, the plot, timeless. This is a film the family can enjoy without it being too childishly mindless or too light or brief in scope.If you speak English, the subtitles are well done. I suggest that you do not dub English into this film as it destroys the depth of the charactor interaction.

WOW!
I was shocked at how much plot there is to this show, how much emotion. There were moments that almost had me (a guy) tearing up because of the level of emotion.Lots of fun, fantastic plot, different intriguing culture, evil villains, heroes and people struggling to get by day by day.Highly recommended if you enjoy a good story/drama.

Once again, I very much enjoyed this series. The acting I thought wonderful, the storyline very, very good & the subtitles were excellent. I also enjoyed the information booklet, which gives some small insight into Korean culture during the early Joseon period.I find Korean drama to be consistently of a very high standard in all respects..
