Netflix has announced the release date for an upcoming Korean mystery thriller from director Kim Jin-min  (My Name, Lawless Lawyer). Streaming has been slated for February 13, coinciding with Valentine's Day.

The Art of Sarah revolves around Sarah Kim (Shin Hye-sun) who wanted to live a life of luxury even if it means pretending to be someone privileged, and the mystery behind her name ending upon the body of a corpse. 

According to the official logline, Shin Hye-sun plays a "mysterious character whose name is everywhere, yet she can’t be found anywhere. As the head of a high-end brand’s Asia branch, she suddenly becomes the victim in an unidentified murder case."

Lee Jun-hyuk plays Mu-gyeong, a determined detective in the violent crimes unit who is on her case. He learns that one woman has different names, ages, jobs, and backgrounds. His task? Find out who the real Sarah Kim is, and the secrets she is hiding. 

The first-look poster shows Lee Jun-hyuk's detective kneeling beside a dead woman's body, her faced obscured by a handbag. 

Sarah Kim is presented as different individuals in the teaser, with multiple personalities. At one point, she asks, "If you can't tell the fake from the real, is it really fake?" 

Jun-hyuk's recent work includes Mercy for None (as the lead character's younger brother), Our Beloved Summer and Secret Royal Inspector & Joy. Hye-sun is known for See You in My 19th Life and Mr. Queen.
