Outrageously far out there but entertaining and cute


The first episode was a bit hard to sit through because Min-Kyung’s character was so outrageous and jarring. But I really liked Hwi-O’s character and kudos to Jung Woo for portraying someone with an anger issue with such charms. The only thing about him was that for a cop, he repeatedly incriminated himself. Like didn’t he know how the system worked?

As for Min-Kyung, I get that she was traumatized and violated but I had no reference as to how people like that act. Personally, I felt like her character was over done but still likable.

Most of the side characters worked fairly well. I thought the ladies of the neighborhood association were fun addition as well as Hwi-O’s cop buddies. The only unnecessary ones were the cross dresser and the singing part-timer. They added nothing in my opinion.

The length of the show was perfect as well. There were some slow spots but thirteen episodes of thirty minutes were perfectly concise and didn’t allow for much unnecessary fluff. All other k-dramas need to follow this format.

Unfortunately, they almost ruined the show toward the end. When the ex-boyfriend showed up and Hwi-O finds Yang. The way Hwi-Oh lost control and went crazy and didn’t even bother defending himself at the station was a bit too much. It was a clumsy attempt at creating a major conflict at the end. Oh, and that car chase… sigh…

All in all, a recurring theme for me is the likable characters. Realistically or unrealistically portrayed, I got to feel for the people and grew to root for all of them. I will miss them.
