How Frustrating!

Dae Gu’s attitude is frustrating but Soo Sun’s wrecklessness, pettiness and idiocy is seriously annoying. It’s like she never grew out of her high school behavior even though it’s 11 years later. How do you make the decision to put someone in clear danger, using her as bait, then not follow through with being diligent in protecting her. Fine, Dae Gu maintained his shitty attitude and chose to leave but SHE’s the one who made the decision to pursue the case and get evidence, so she should have continued to protect her even without him. Had Dae Gu not figured things out and run back she’d have been long gone and would only find out what happened the following day. And this taking personal calls while actively on duty just flat out pissesme off. It’s so irresponsible. If you’re at the station or completely off duty fine but, at the very least she should have checked in with the victim before leaving and made her aware they were calling it a day. I get that it’s a drama and all but it’s so frustrating constantly watching these scenarios were idiot, irresponsible and immature cops make life-endangering mistakes, even if only for our entertainment. Cops at that level should never be out in the field, especially completely unsupervised.UPDATE:I’m currently rewatching this drama and this episode STILL pisses me off. Dae Gu’s 100% certainty is a complete fallacy as always is when dealing in probabilities, which should be his first clue that his arrogance is a problem. He also never factored in his reasoning that they had directly provoked the stalker earlier that day so of course there’d be a difference in his trending behavior. But still, that chick is the worst police officer (and a detective no less) I’ve seen portrayed. The fact that she even got mad that she got a ticket when she was flat out and KNOWINGLY breaking the law by talking on the phone while her vehicle was in operation had already ticked me off before this whole stalker situation even began. You’re a brand new policed officer, who’s already been arrested once just days prior, and you’re perfectly fine breaking traffic laws! Ughhhhhhhh!!!!!

Honestly, I think I'm rating this episode…

Honestly, I think I'm rating this episode based on the interaction between Arang and the Magistrate. Not to mention... costuming! Lee Joon Gi looks awesome in his red magistrate outfit.



What tripped me up though was the 21st century music in the fight scene. The music fit the scene and the action lol, but not the era. I was not expecting that. Also, every time he whips out that fan I keep expecting it to have magical powers - won't that be cool? Thank goodness that it finally does.



What adds to the drama (but I don't like) is how the Gods, Joo Wal, the woman, Moo Yong - actually everybody is using Arang without her knowledge or regard for her safety. The only one who cares about her is our Magistrate who was supposed to be self-centred and cold. Ha, love them together. And we got a halfway confession out of him LOL. Overall this was an excellent episode.
