From the Back Cover A smash success of the action-filled, highly stylized New Asian Cinema, Tell Me Something is a serial killer thriller drenched in atmosphere and punctuated with moments of shocking violence. Korean cinema superstar Han Suk-gyu stars as Lieutenant Cho, a cop on the edge who, while under investigation for graft and mourning the recent death of his mother, is suddenly put in charge of a seemingly impenetrable mystery. Dismembered corpses are being found in garbage bags around Seoul. However, the surgically amputated arms, legs and heads are mismatched, rendering the victims nearly impossibly to identify. When Cho discovers that all the victims were once romantically involved with the same woman, Suyeon Chae (Shim Eun-ha) becomes the focal point of the investigation. Growing more suspicious of Suyeon, even as he becomes more entranced by her icy charm, Cho realizes that the secret to the horrifying murders lies in the carefully guarded memories of her past.

The killeršs motive is a complete mystery. Leading the investigation is Detective Cho (Han Suk-gyu), a burnt-out cop trying to redeem his tainted reputation with this case. Setting up a special crime investigation unit dedicated to these gruesome murders, Cho and his partner, the veteran Detective Oh (Chang Hang-sun) map out the order of the murders, interchanging the body parts like pieces in a grotesque puzzle.

Cho decides to investigate her late college classmate and current colleague Ki-yeon.
While Cho questions Ki-yeon, the fragile Su-yeon is attacked, but manages to escape. After being released from police custody, Ki-yeon disappears, and early the next morning Detective Cho is notified of the fourth murder. Under the rainy urban landscape of Koreašs capital, another garbage bag is discovered on a highway. This time, the corpse is a headless Ki-yeon... -- Š 2001 Kino International
