<Sherlock's Heir>

Well, it would be best to start from there.

I observed the person sitting across from me on the subway.

And then I deduced.

That person must be a test-taker.

He might be cheating,

Or just a playboy.

But what happens after deducing?

The answer to the problem is always at the back.

It's written on the answer sheet.

I wanted to get it right.

Is my deduction correct or not?

So I followed.

I examined clues.

I peered through binoculars.

At first, I got five out of ten guesses right.

It wasn't bad.

Then six, eight.

My deduction score kept increasing.

And that's when I met a woman.

A woman with a tattoo saying 'Querencia'.

I made up my mind right then.

I would figure out everything about that woman.

So from then on, secretly,

I followed her.

From morning till she fell asleep.

And finally, I got everything right, 100%.

She fell from the rooftop,

even up to the point of her committing suicide

I finally became a god.

Now, with just one glance,

I can know everything about anyone,

Their present, past, even

The future.

What are you saying, Detective?

Why do you think I killed that woman?

I just predicted her death.

Actor NamKoong Min meets Sherlock's Heir

Hello everyone, I'm actor NamKoong Min.

Director Choi Yoon-suk,

Should I call you the writer?

Through my relationship with the writer,

I read the book "Sherlock's Heir".

That's why I'm here to say hello

and do this interview.

It's great to meet you all.

I first met the director

through the drama "Good Manager".

And then,

The director writes a book and describes these processes.

It's so fun to watch

I've always wondered how a director can

also be so good at writing.

And now, once again,

he's coming up with such an interesting novel,

so I hope you all look forward to it

As expected of the director

Should I call him a writer who used to direct?

So, because of that, the dialogue was... how should I put it,

there were many lines

that depicted the character's psychological state.

These details in the lines

felt very natural and delicate,

so I tried my best to express that psychology as much as possible

to keep the tension alive

I put a lot of effort into recording.

Thank you.

From Jamobook:

"I can’t believe I can see Director Choi Yoon-Suk's stories in a novel rather than a drama. As someone who admires his exceptional creativity, I couldn't be happier. Choi Yoon-Suk's intricate psychological portrayals, unique scene compositions, and gripping plot twists lead me into his world. I hope he continues writing for a long time." - Actor NamKoong Min
