The year's most talked-about Korean thriller — a mud-caked, twist-dense procedural in the Memories of Murder lineage that rides Park Hae-soo's coiled intensity to record ratings for ENA.

What is The Scarecrow about?
Demoted from Seoul back to his rural hometown of Gangseong, detective Kang Tae-joo — all feral instinct and wounded pride — reopens the serial-murder case that has haunted the county for years, hoping to claw back his reputation one exhumed secret at a time. Loosely drawn from Korea's infamous Hwaseong killings, Park Joon-woo's twelve-episode thriller pits Park Hae-soo against Lee Hee-joon in a cat-and-mouse duel where the fields hide bodies, the town hides complicity, and every scarecrow watches without telling.

Critic Reviews
The Scarecrow (2026) Review: The Case Against the Badge
★★★★☆
The Scarecrow is a 12-episode Korean thriller drawn from the Hwaseong murders, a slow-burn procedural that turns its anger on the system as much as the killer.
Yes, for patient crime-drama fans who want moral weight with their mystery. Park Hae-soo and Lee Hee-joon are superb, though the opening episodes move slowly.
