One Stars

was the blooming flower at the end supposed to symbolize their blooming affections? or that they did more then kiss?!? but at least there is some type of forward momentum - Hiroshi for sure is treating Natsuo like a human with emotions & feelings. that's already growth - we even saw a little jealousy on Hiroshi's part. so i am happy ... ********************************************really like Natsuo he's like a hyperactive puppy full of love & innocence & i don't wanna see him hurting or hurt. i was happy that in this BL after getting hurt he didn't rush to forgive or run after Hiroshi, Hiroshi was the one to search out Natsuo - & even though he didn't apologize, he stopped acting like an ass. so that's a plus

How Mr. Shin works

The episode begins with a scene from 15 years ago. Shin is banging on the glass asking a man with vacant eyes why he did what he did. He is then at home in fetal position on the floor and Judge Kim is with him trying to rouse him from this state. It then skips to present where Philip is questioning the Judge about Shin. His observations aren’t helping him because he is completely lost and flustered trying to figure it out. Philip is very linear in thinking. Good is good, bad is bad and anything outside the box is alien to him. His brain hurts trying to comprehend how Shin does what he does. The judge makes a very astute observation for him. It is not how Shin moves, but how he makes the opponents move. He is a master of spinning his observations to both understand the situation and how to get the parties to a place of understanding. Judge Kim chuckles as his top aide leaves in total confusion when he told Philip to ask directly to learn. Both actors do an excellent job portraying the mentor/student scene. He talks himself in with Lee and the hostage and evaluates the situation. He knows the mayor is hungry and that Lee would respond better with comfort food so he orders ox tail soup. His reaction to plastic containers leaves you grinning because it is such an unexpected complaint. He chides his former student for not following his training better. He walks back annoyed with their lack of courtesy and next time soup arrives in clay pots like it’s supposed to. Shin has added Philip to the group by having him be the phone link for him. They know they are working with an ammonium nitrate bomb and that there is a separate detonator that works aside from the timer. Hacker Kim is very like Judge Kim. 😂 He brought the complaints to Shin to negotiate knowing the circumstances. Lee had tried every legal way possible to get justice for his brother and money and power kept it hidden. The location was approved illegally because it endangered water supply. All the environmental tests were also falsified. The law worked in their favor making the environmental things past their statute of limitations. However, Kim the hacker found evidence of the payoffs which still could be prosecuted. Shin called in his team to get Lee and mom safely to new location with new names. His student smiled when he saw them knowing there was no way Shin would give up on saving everybody. Shin used the remote to distract first responders in area and get Lee out. It was an impressive plan created in half a day. Philip saying Kim could be a good hacker🤣 He has no clue who he is working with. I am wondering how much he will know by the end of drama. We learn of the incident that changed everyone 15 years ago. Two children were held hostage and Shin only knew of the one. He received calls of the other but ignored because he was saving a child and keeping everybody alive. The most sorrowful irony is that the other hostage was his son. The great negotiator renowned for saving everybody in hostage situations failed his family. This broke them all. The woman who saved Lee mother and son was the woman he helped then. Shin kicks Philip out and sees he forgot some textbooks. As he goes out to give them to Philip, his former student enters. At heart he agreed with his mentor, but as an officer of the law he had to be against it. I can’t blame Shin for his choice. There was no reason to assume the law would take care of them now after failing so consistently prior. Shin made sure no parent on his watch would share his pain. His student couldn’t argue with this. They will have to agree to disagree at how things ended. There is a man in the shadows disguised and looking for Shin as the episode ends. This drama did an excellent job making you understand his pain and sorrow. It gives it in spoonfuls so it is bearable. We are now seeing how this child’s death destroyed a family and broke the spirit of a legal team. One victory at a time they are healing and learning to face the day with more hope. It is now more clear why he is both annoyed and pleased with the two young people around him. They are becoming his family as well as his team.

ian looked good af in that party city wig

one of my favorite tropes in an ensemble cast series is when a spot+lgiht character's episode focuses on his beloved ones' actions out of love for the character. we finally get back to souji & this is an episode that honors how ian & amy & now our new team+mate utchi care for him. we have already seen how ian & amy care for him so we start off with utchi whoi spars with him to nuirture him. utchi also works perfectly in this plot because of how awkward he is around women & fights for the right of love. this set+up[ of them having trained more than we have seen also allows for a very good pay+off where souji is worthy of performing the final finale on the debo monster. i think rin is nice. because we really know nothing much about her or why she loves him she's not really much of character. it can be interesting to see her develope herself in future appearances. i also like that she is jealous of ami because she thinks they could be a couple. she doesn't hate ami for being another woman in souji's vicinity nor will she turn on her friend when souji gives her the same gift. & correctly so she directs her hurt at souji because he's the one hurting her. i like that ami is ridiculously unaware at times. i hope her next episode is something really great. it is annoying to see how she is written as the girl who does girl things & needs to be paired with the woman or the child deboth while thje men can handle the real villains.

Mr. Shin spins perspectives in mediating arguments

This episode demonstrates the little things that cause people to snap and make a big noisy deal out of it. The first is a peek at apartment living and how noise is a factor of irritation. Philip is being his future judge self and reviewing stats in his head with percentages at how it effects people. Shin sees two arguing and tries to leave but is called in to help judge. A local distributor is guilty of selling close to end date dairy products to a shop. Because she is losing sales she is behind in rent payments. Shin pretends to call the main distributor to complain and ready to provide name of local supplier and then ‘calls’ lawyer about repercussions of going to debt collector. Neither call was real but it gave both sides clear view of repercussions of not settling the matter between themselves. When they reluctantly make up he goes inside shop and sees On Pursuit on tv. His takeaway was the HI group produces the show. So these anonymous tips has the show reveal unsafe and unethical business practices of places that ruins their business and makes their owners feeling pressed to sell. Shin made the time to get the dash cam memory card before jumping out of the car on train track. Si On id’s the truck driver as one of the guys that chased them earlier. Philip wants to go to the police and settle the matter but Shin knows there is not enough evidence to get the real bad guys yet. Philip is guilty of seeing the world too black and white. There are times when it is only shades of grey and he has not experienced enough real life to understand that yet. Si On has a lot more street smarts so she is on same page as Shin about these people buying businesses cheap to build their resort and having others bullied or killed if not cooperating with their plans. The masterminds pulling the strings are rich and powerful leaving no evidence they are behind it all. Shin finds an old friend at a police station. He was demoted over something that happened 15 years ago and Shin reminds him it wasn’t his fault. Shin asks officer Choi to run a background check on the truck driver. It then goes to the host of On Pursuit who noticed the anonymous tips matched land locations for a resort project. He realizes he’s been used to ease land purchases for unscrupulous developers and agrees to the terms requested by the salted seafood co op. While Philip handles the settlement agreement, Shin has a chat with the bum of a grandson. The kid does love his gma, but he is a lazy guy that has no intention of continuing the family business or marrying to please her. He took money from an unknown person to make a video of the maggots. He planned on taking his gma to Seoul to open a shop there. Shin is disgusted with him and takes a call. Officer Choi sends him the background check if the driver. The papers now have to be filed with the court and since Philip didn’t like dumplings he gets the task.😂 Shin is now on a mission to bring pain to his would be killer. He goes to the dumpling shop of the wife and Si On gets video of the daughter studying. Choi had the fun task of chasing him down when he fled scene after learning Choi knew who he was. It ended up in a hostage situation where Choi has a PTSD flashback. Fortunate bystander hit knife holder over the head with a pan and Choi got him cuffed with nothing happening to the woman. Choi allowed a 3minute chat with Shin while in holding. After Shin explained it would only be fair to hit his wife and daughter with a truck the way he did with Shin and Aide, the guy talked. While the realtor, mayor and local bully were celebrating resort plans, On Pursuit host revealed the resort plan, who responsible, and apologized for treating the fabricated tip as real. Nice win for Shin.😁 When he meets with his friend the judge, there is already a very big case being brought against the HI Group. This case has the judge’s full attention. Shin chides him for being used to sway public opinion and laying the groundwork for the much bigger case. He then hands the judge receipts for every cost while working on it.😂 The judge denies it, but his grin suggests otherwise. These two have significant work history between them. Choi is now very popular after being recorded saving the day with hostage scare. Si On Philip and Shin are having a celebratory meal of their successes. Si On has to be carried home and Philip notices the pair of wheelchairs and little sister. He is re assessing hi opinion of Si On. The truck driver caught their chicken stream on computer and he is determined to give Shin payback. Kim, the hacker friend, wants Shin to handle a cyber bully. Shin goes to an out of the way location and notices the ingredients for a bomb. He quizzes Philip about what he sees and uses 3 locations for reference, Oklahoma bombing, one in Bali and one in Oslo. He mentions seeing one in Middle East. Some commenters dropped the drama and lowballed its ratings saying drama put racism and stereotyping Middle East as terrorists in drama when that was not the case at all. So for any not wanting to watch for that reason, Shin stated facts where bombings had occurred and his personal experiences with one. He did not choose any specific race of people as culprits. Just that all races could have radicals inclined to use that as a way to make bombs because fertilizer easy to get. Shin is processing the complaints and how they focused on causing death and lying about it. He visits the guy’s mom and learns a bit about him and then finds a room where the schoolbooks are still tied up in new bundles but there are very detailed files on cancer, deaths in Yongdan and tests not adding up to the death toll. The mayor of Yongdan has a bomb vest on and is saying on video how he is responsible for deaths and deserves to die. Shin and police are closing in on the location. Philip is making his way there and following Shin’s instructions. They all end up at Yongdan’s fertilizer plant. Shin gets inside when he mentions the brother to hostage taker. He understands the situation and chooses to be Lee’s negotiator. Philip gets a call from his friend who was looking into who Shin is. That gets cut off when Philip arrives at the scene. The negotiator sent out recognizes Shin and is shocked to see him there. Shock number two is when he says he is Lee’s negotiator and not the mayor’s. He lets his old colleague know that if they want the hostage alive they will have to negotiate through him. From now on, Shin will be letting them know what the demands are. The episode ends here with everybody asking Why? Why is Shin on the side of the kidnapper? This drama is well paced and tells a good story. There are many twists and turns that completely changes what to focus on that keeps it interesting. I also enjoy the music. The actors do an excellent job with their characters and bringing them together as a team little by little. It is believable and not over acted or forced. I also like we will find out who Shin is as Philip does.
