Promising start.

As stated in the "title", it's a promising start. This is the first police driven drama I've started. I've enjoyed police K-drama movies, and for the most part have stuck to prosecutor themed TV dramas. You're All Surrounded caught my eye because of it's all star class, and some pretty good trailers and OSTs.

It starts out on a pretty high note with a police chase. Highlighting that they're team leader does not care nor trust his new rookies. Considering nothing is said about the circumstances and who is who, that's pretty well done. But suddenly the flashback starts cutting off the dramatic standoff. Not sure if it's just the subtitles are never done right to explain that it's a flashback, or the editors of the dramas don't think they need to indicate that flashbacks are occurring. Either way it felt supper sloppy and it took me a moment to realize that the flashback here was about Eun Dae Gu / Kim Ji Yong and not a flashback to how the crime started up leading to the police chase.

Once that confusion is out of the way the setup for what I believe is going to be an excellent story of revenge and justice is well done. And a romance. (Maybe a love triangle?) Either way it's probably one of the better setup episodes I've seen in a while and I find all the characters interesting. While I'm disappointed that they didn't wrap up the police chase in the end of the episode--to me that indicates sloppiness--it does build up into it nicely. Clearly episode 2 is going to take off leading with that.



(Oh, and bravo ending on a My Chemical Romance song. Pure perfection with them getting ready to head out and dispense the law!)

Very good!

I liked the first episode very much!! I was hooked after the first five minutes and laughed a lot at the rookie squad. They are going to make me smile a lot. Now I get the posters showing CSW and LSJ looking like they hate each other, though I don't believe the Detective killed the mother, he must have been framed... it would also be too obvious for the audience at this point, and it's too early. lol. Anyway, I'm glad for CSW's return. His characters always make me smile and wow, the more he gets old, the more he gets young. All the cast is great and pretty good looking. This is gonna be interesting and funny at the same time. Another thing I liked was "Welcome to the black parade" by My Chemical Romance as the song at the end of the episode. It is always weird to me when they put international songs on dramas. You just don't expect it.
