title: two cops
cast: jo jung suk, kim seon ho, lee hye ri
genre: police crime story, a bit romcom and fantasy
cha dong tak (jo jung suk) is a fierce detective though he was a bit naughty during his teenage year. he had a partner, jo hang jun who got killed on duty but later was accused of being corrupt. dong tak didn't believe that he was corrupt so he kept investigating the case, without knowing that the case would lead to more trouble. his superior apparently tried to cover hang jun's death and didn't want dong tak to investigate more so they made a false accusations on gong su chang (kim seon ho). su chang was a con artist that hang jun put in prison, so they accused him of wanting to get revenge. when dong tak arrested su chang, they both got into a car chase with a motor gang and they got into fight with them. unfortunately they both jumped into the river and then were unconsicous.
when they woke up, su chang found himself in dong tak's body. and the series began. apparently, su chang could get into dong tak's body if dong tak is splashed with water and su chang would come out if he saw blood. su chang himself was lying in coma in hospital bed, with the warning from a fortune teller that he was supposed to find his fate in 49 days or he would die. both dong tak and su chang were still investigating the case, and then they stumbled upon another case of a taxi driver who got killed in accident. the police report said that he committed suicide but the case was similar to recent dong tak's car chase that almost killed him and song ji an (lee hye ri). ji an is a persistent reporter who at first didn't like dong tak because of his behaviour, but later found that dong tak is a hardworking and trustworthy detective so she helped him.
dong tak's superior then chose another person as scapegoat, this time it was lee du sik, su chang's old friend from his old orphanage. du sik got death threat in prison that make dong tak got himself arrested to protect du sik, but he failed but managed to get du sik's trust and he got clue about the real killer of both jung han and the taxi driver. they were chasing a black motor rider that has an angel's tattoo on his/her back. they also found a necklace from the past with initial TJH. at first both suspected the prosecutor that was helping them to be the culprit, as his name was tak jae hee (park hoon). he was also ji an's friend since his dad, tak jung hwan sponsored ji an until she could get a job.
long story short, they began to see the connection between recent cases to 16 years old case that connected su chang, tak jae hee, dong tak, lee du sik, song ji an and a mystery killer. with the help from su chang's friends (yong pal and friends), they managed to con the culprit and finally arrested the mystery killer and his/her boss. 16 years ago, dong tak was mocking jae hee when jae hee drove his dad's car without approval. dong tak told jae hee to race him and that made jae hee drove carelessly that he caused an accident. su chang's dad got killed in the accident, as well as another parents from a little girl. ji an's dad was the detective in charge to investigate the accident. while the taxi driver was the only eye witnesses. at first the taxi driver said that it was su chang's dad fault, but later we found out that he made false accusation because of tak jung hwan's bribery. ji an's dad found the evidence and wanted to make it right but he got killed instead. su chang, ji an, lee du sik and the mystery girl were all got together in an orphanage. tak jung hwan was a regular sponsor to that orphanage.
after finding the truth, both dong tak and su chang thought su chang could go back into his own body, but until the last minute, that didn't happen. suddenly dong tak decided to splash himself so su chang could possess him, but su chang realizing that dong tak was sacrificing himself, cut himself so he could get out of dong tak's body. however, both actions made su chang got back to his own body. he then fooled everyone by pretending to forget everything so everyone could get on their life. dong tak could get in relationship with ji an and his old minion, ko bong sook could forget her past life, quit pickpocketing and got in relationship with dokgo, dong tak's new partner.
what i like:
- light and funny stories, a bit confusing regarding the case, but they managed to put two and two together. it's quite funny watching cops doing their job with help from petty criminal.
- good acting from jo jung suk. he managed to act serious while being dong tak and then quite flamboyant and silly when being su chang.
what i don't like:
- some outfit are not suitable in my opinion. like dokgo who looked polished, though he was from a rich family, being a police should make him look decent, not flashy. and ji an. she was too fresh and pretty for a reporter. and how she could go in and out police station easily and even touched some evidence too.
- age gap between jo jung suk and lee hyeri. gee... even i could see that jung suk is too old for hye ri. though in the drama they make them about 7-8 years apart, but still..
- typical soul possesed story with unfinished business as background. so many dramas use this kind of story.
rating: 8/10
binge worthy: yes
recommended for: someone who like watching crime story with a lot of comedy and a bit romantic story involved.
