Change of pace!

This episode was realy good and different from the first two. It focused more on Maruo(finally getting all the names straight!) and we got to see the more serious side of him... I guess So is more the "stay-cool-at-all-times" guy and Maruo is the character that exhibits emotional spectrum... Not as many chase/shootemup scenes, but just as much action. And the plot twist at the end was brilliant... Sad, but brilliant. Yuki is getting her memory back slowly, and at the end of the ep we are left with a total cliffhangar (it seems like "sexy waiter guy" is really a bad guy and he's about to stab the unsuspecting Yuki) I knew he was bad right from the start! Still made me laugh as much even though this ep also handled serious issues... And as a final sidenote, I realized one reason why I like this drama so much is definitely the amazing cinematography... I think its very rare to find it in most kdramas and taiwanese ones... Very enjoyable!

Still interesting!

(forgive me, Japanese names are a LOT harder for me to remember than Korean ones for some reason)... Ok, this episode was also really good... Poor American cop is missing his dad... I feel like he would be a really good family man, bc between him always answering his mom's hilariously timed phone calls and him teaching the little boy some karate I really saw that.... Did anybody else see how jealous he looked at the end when the hot waiter walked in and said hi to the girl.. rofl... Also, I definitely think the other cop has a serious crush on the doctor, I know he flirts a lot, but I think he really likes her... Just my opinion tho... The scenes when they are arguing about his choice of bento boxes had me laughing sooooo hard! XD My only concern is that they will continue to have all these awesome shootouts/chases and by episode five they will start to get redundant.. Hope that doesn't happen! :) (PS. I gave this ep only a 9.5 because I'm still upset that Narimiya Hiroki shot himself in the head in ep 1...

Alright, I'm in!

Out of all the first episodes from the dramas I'm currently watching, this one hooked me immediately. The other ones took time to adapt, but this one was just BOOM! I'm at the center of the cake already - haha!



I believe it's largely due to Lee Min Jung's performance. I've always loved her as an actress (she's beautiful as well!) because she's so natural. Very few actresses/actors pull off a comedy with ease... and I think Lee Min Jung pulls it off with a tinge of coolness.



To be honest, this OTP made me excited even before the drama came out. They're always so natural in their other projects that I was sure I'd be getting loads of fireworks b/w the two. I haven't seen Gong Yoo in a while too. He was hilarious in Coffee Prince.



The story is quite refreshing. Perhaps, I was just in a mood for another huge age gap type of drama.

Ok, I'm hooked... (*spoiler warning*)

Ok, I started watching this because I just finished MARS and needed something lighter and fast-paced.. And I think I found it! I was actually surprised at how funny the episode started as.. There's a lot of action and it keeps you hooked.. So far I like the lead actors, they make a great team... But what really got me was halfway through the episode when the "bad guy" comes on-screen and I'm like "OMFG that's Narimiya Hiroki" WHuuuuuut?!? I was enjoying the intense bad-boy smexiness and BAM he shoots himself in the head... He can't dramatically reappear from THAT in a later episode! He's freaking GONE! :'( What were the writers thinking... O_o Aside from my disappointment of Hiroki's short-lived screen-time, I cannot wait to see if the girl (haven't memorized her name yet) gets her memory back. BTW, is anybody else feeling the spark of romance between the girl and the "American" cop... I'm definitely! XD I'm definitely watching the next episode! :)
