"Crime Puzzle" is a story where a criminal psychologist is sent to prison for murdering a political candidate, and the criminal profiler who loses his father to the murder is conducting interviews with the murderer for a case that occurs within the prison.

These two used to be lovers just a year ago, until they meet again as a murderer and a criminal profiler, and face the unexpected truth to a series of murders. The thriller focuses on the process of them putting the pieces together, like a puzzle.

It was also a sensation for readers, as it was exclusively released in 2015 through e-book portal BookCube, and has been running for about a year. Following its completion, it is currently being provided on many platforms, such as Naver series and Kakao page. It is also considered one of the representative works that led to the globalization of Korean webtoons, as it was exported to France's Izneo, United States' Tapas and Japan's Piccoma.

Oh Young-suk (Meen), who wrote "Crime Puzzle", is known for a couple of famous works. The illustrator, Lee Chul-hee (Misang), is a veteran artist who has worked on the comic magazine Big Jump in the 1990s. He has been acknowledged for his intense drawings in the webtoon.
