| The astonishing Ko Hyeong-jeong can do an amazing variety of moods and moves, and you’re ready to follow her at every step of the way. She has the most expressive mouth in the history of the world, but she doesn’t depend on that alone. She’s after a serial killer here, but since this is a Korean drama series, and on top of that, a series written by the genius, Kim Yeong-hyeon, there’s a whole lot of personal baggage packed into the chase. Great comic characters pop up for a scene or two. One of my favorites is as scene where a lady background witness can only give information by putting it into the context of the history of her life, which she narrates and acts out year by year through drink and the history of dance styles. The dialogue is great, the cast does a great job filling out the human texture of stock characters, the music keeps you in the mood, and there’s a bad guy who gets and deserves everything that’s coming to him. |
