Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Voice is a Korean Drama that debuted in 2017.Moo Jin-hyuk is a Korean cop. Tragedy strikes when his wife Ji-hye is murdered by a serial killer. Before she was killed Ji-hye managed to dial 112 (Korean 911) and reach Kang Kwon-joo, an operator, who listens in horror as the killer bashes Ji-hye's head in.A suspect is arrested for Ji-hye's murder, but Kwon-joo shocks everyone by testifying in open court that the suspect is not the man she heard speaking on the phone right before he killed Ji-hye. Kwon-joo, it turns out, has unusually sensitive hearing. She claims that the voice on the phone belongs to the man who killed her father three years earlier, in what the cops wrote off as a hit and run accident. Jin-hyuk accuses Kwon-joo of taking a bribe, but she sticks to her guns and the suspect is acquitted.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Cut forward three years. Kwon-joo has advanced in the police force, while Jin-hyuk is an alcoholic wreck. She has formed a new emergency response unit, a "Golden Time Team" that is meant to respond to 112 calls and save victims in the ten minutes that is believed to be the optimum time to save lives in danger. She tabs Jin-hyuk for her team, initially to his rage, but eventually they band together to catch the man that killed her loved ones.Followed by a sequel, Voice 2, that ran for 12 episodes in 2018, which was in turn followed by Voice 3 in 2019.

As the Good Book Says...
 Voice / int_2439b588
comment
As the Good Book Says...: In Season 1, Tae-gu the deranged psychopath has a habit of writing thematically appropriate Bible verses at the scenes of his murders. In episode 10, after plucking out a woman's eyeball and leaving it for the police, he writes on the wall a reference to John 9:41 about how being able to (metaphorically) see makes one guilty of sin.

*Click* Hello: Jin-hyuk has fought off five bad guys and is making his escape from the bad guys' lair in episode 8, when out of nowhere, a "click" and a gun to his head announce the presence of some more bad guys. It's Nam Sang-tae, head of the gang, and his henchman (holding the gun).

The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much
 Voice / int_4e6e4dc7
comment
The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much: Dong-chul's death in episode 4 is an obvious murder—he has head injuries that couldn't have come from a fall, and his feet are all sliced up, due to walking on broken glass—but the cops and the coroner call it suicide because of the ongoing cover-up of the murder of Jin-hyuk's wife. In episode 13 Sang-tae is hanging from a tree with a noose around his neck and a few stab wounds in his gut, but the coroner's people once again talk themselves into calling it a suicide.

Flashback: Many. Episode 3 re-tells the story of Jin-hyuk's wife's murder, from Kwon-joo's perspective. It turns out that Kwon-joo's father was an old patrolman, who tried to make the arrest at the scene and was killed by the murderer instead—which Kwon-joo also heard over the phone.

Rewind, Replay, Repeat: Kwon-joo is doing this in episode 2, continually repeating the 112 call of Jin-hye's death and particularly the words the killer said: "That's why you shouldn't have run." In episode 13 she does this with the recording of Jin-hyuk's wife, and she eventually figures out that it was spliced together from other recordings.
