Pied Piper (Hangul: 피리부는 사나이; RR: Piribuneun Sanai) is a 2016 South Korean police procedural-crime drama television series. It replaced Cheese in the Trap and aired on cable network tvN on Mondays and Tuesdays at 23:00 (KST) for 16 episodes from March 7, 2016 to April 26, 2016.[1][2][3]

Plot

Pied Piper focuses on a police negotiation task force that specializes in tense, worst-case scenarios that require highly trained communication. They handle all sorts of cases, from suicide to hostage situations to terrorist attacks, and even war. They do their work with words, not weapons, to neutralize volatile situations before they erupt into full-blown catastrophes.

Joo Sung-chan (Shin Ha-kyun) is a genius lead negotiator of the crisis negotiation police unit. Meanwhile, Yoon Hee-sung (Yoo Jun-sang) is the real Pied Piper and the anchor of TNN Night News channel. Yeo Myung-ha (Jo Yoon-hee) is an inspector and a Crisis Negotiation Team member.
