The series centres on Fang Yi-jen, a brilliant forensic investigator portrayed by acclaimed actor Joseph Chang.

The show has been praised for its unflinching portrayal of forensic science and its sensitive representation of neurodiversity. It doesn't shy away from graphic content, earning its reputation as a truly brutal watch that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
Critical Acclaim and Viewer Reception
Since its initial release, 'The Victims' Game' has garnered significant critical praise for its intense storytelling, complex character development, and high production values.
