(Dear Lord, how I loathe Charter Internet commercials.)
Two cops are chasing after a little man to arrest him for wearing the ugliest shirt I have ever laid eyes on. He deserves the death penalty! Little man has some stamina in him as he races across town. The lead cop is played by Song Il Gook and he is sporting a slightly less offensive hairstyle from the last one he had in that magnificent cheesefest, A Man Called God. As he continues to chase Little Man he accidentally bumps into a young woman, spilling the contents of her purse onto the ground. Time grinds to a halt as the two look at each other. This is Korean drama's way of establishing future love pairings. Little Man manages to board a train and gets away.
Detective Park Sehyuk (Song Il Gook) goes to a rundown building and bangs on a door. Inside, four men are playing cards and are frightened to death to hear Sehyuk demanding to be let inside. They're so frightened one of them rips a long, loud fart that I swear Sehyuk is able to hear outside. (Why, Asian dramas? Why must we have such bathroom humor?) Reluctantly the men allow Sehyuk inside. He knows them and their past criminal histories. He threatens to pin some thefts on them unless they help him locate drug dealer Ma Jongpil, the Little Man with Poor Fashion Taste.
Little Man is sweating it out at a bath house when Sehyuk shows up. There's another chase scene as half-naked Ma Jongpil runs to his locker to retrieve a baggie of drugs and swallows the evidence. Sehyuk tries the Heimlich on Jongpil to try and bring the evidence up but it is too late. So we get to see Jongpil straining on a toilet seat while Sehyuk patiently waits for the baggie to come out the other end.
And that's when I decide after only three and a half minutes that no, this drama is not for me.
