The Fugitive: Plan B (2010)

If I was rating this for Rain alone, then I would give it all 10s. LOL The story is good, but so drawn out. They could have easily done this in 16 episodes. It is funny, romantic, sad, and action packed, then there is all this unnecessary story with unnecessary characters. At times I was bored out of my mind and toward the end I skipped pretty much everything with Nakamura and James "Bong". It ends well though.

Rain is just too cute playing the funny and smart Ji Woo. The way he speaks in this drama is charming. I enjoyed his character development from materialistic to a caring depth. Lee Jung Jin is also very charming and has a beautiful smile. I appreciated his down to earth portrayal of Detective Do Soo. Yoon Jin Seo is too cute as Soran when she is chasing her “oppa”. Jin Yi was an obviously deep character that is just wasted by Lee Na Young's horrible acting. She had no chemistry with Ji Woo or with Kai. I'm a Daniel Henney fan, but his portrayal of Kai leaves a lot to be desired. I really didn't connect with his character at all. The rest of the characters were just a waste of time except the "bad guys" who are necessary.

Even if you don't watch the drama, then you should check out MBLAQ's "Running & Running" and Jae's "Poison".

I might rewatch parts of this to see Rain's smile and goofiness.

If you are looking for something that isn't very deep and you need a Rain fix, then I would recommend this drama.

I sort of have this grudging appreciation for Rain. Being relatively new to Kdramas you hear about the biggest stars first. I watched Full House and loved it, even though he was kind of a brat in that. But after watching this I just really like him. He is tons of fun and doesn't seem to take himself too seriously - a plus in my book. The story was fun, intense at times and some of his antics made me laugh out loud. There were times when I was a little bored and I feel it could have been done in 16 episodes making the plot a little speedier but overall it was very enjoyable. The baddies were so bad! And Daniel Henney...you're getting better!
