You’re All Surrounded: Episode 3
by girlfriday
It’s time for our young grasshoppers to learn a few harsh truths about protecting and serving. Perhaps there’s no such thing as rookie detectives because you have to face the same consequences whether you’ve been on the job two days or two decades. True, calamity does seem to follow our team around more than most, but it’s the stakes—no matter what you do, they’re always life and death.

EPISODE 3: “There are no rookie detectives”
Eun Dae-gu is about to get his ass fish-fried when Team Leader Pan-seok notices a peculiar pattern with the cell phone in Dae-gu’s pocket that seems to be ringing in lock-step with his.
He looms over Dae-gu, who could not look any more suspicious right now. He sweats bullets for what seems like the longest pause ever, when suddenly Gook’s phone rings too and he answers it to tell his mommy to call later.
Phew, it’s enough to break Pan-seok out of the paranoid reverie, and Dae-gu breathes a sigh of relief once he gets to his room.
The next morning, the rookies on Team 3 press their ears against the door of the conference room while awaiting the final verdict: did they screw up enough to get axed, or will they live to see another day?
Inside, Chief Toad is obviously in favor of making them pay for their egregious mistakes. But thankfully Police Chief Kang is the boss, and she defers to Pan-seok to make the decision himself—if he wants to give them another chance, that’s enough for her.
She practically hands them a free pass by doing that, and then all eyes turn to Pan-seok. He gets all fired up and declares (with zest, no less) that those fish-brained rookies need to be fired at once. See, everybody likes fish jokes! (Technically, he calls them carp-heads.) He huffs that he hardly knows how they passed the exam to become cops in the first place, and that allowing them to continue as detectives is an affront to taxpayers. Ha.
This is definitely not going the way Chief Kang intended. The rookies’ faces fall as they listen in, and Dae-gu is the first to start walking away. But then Pan-seok’s rant winds down, and he lets out a quiet “But…”
“…Give me a few months.” His partner Eung-do finally cracks an adorable smile, and Pan-seok says that since they’ve been put under his care, he’ll at least get their umbilical cords off and teach them to walk before making a decision.
The rookies jump for joy out in the hallway, and Soo-sun runs over to Dae-gu for a high-five. He walks away and leaves her hanging.
Pan-seok lines them up outside and can tell by their faces that they already heard the news for themselves. Soo-sun eagerly asks if this means they’re his kids now, but Pan-seok tells them the only thing he’ll be teaching them in the next three months is: “You will never be detectives.”
He’s decided that the sole purpose of gracing them with his unrivaled awesomeness is to prove this statement as fact. He encourages them to quit at any time, but then adds that the violent crimes unit is a team, and if one goes, the rest get fired too.
Dae-gu pipes up for the first time and argues that it’s unfair—there’s no official rule that they have to take responsibility for each other’s mistakes to that extent. Pan-seok cuts him off: “Unfair? You can go then.” He looks right into Dae-gu’s laser stare: “And why do your eyeballs look like that again?” Dae-gu begrudgingly lowers his gaze, and everyone is ordered into the car. Woohoo, training montage time?
They stop in the middle of a neighborhood in their district and Pan-seok confiscates their phones. He kicks them out in the middle of the street with nothing but a building number and the order to catch the hypothetical criminal there.
The rookies split up and everyone goes about it differently. Dae-gu searches his brain for the giant map of Gangnam back at the station, like a live GPS. Soo-sun goes straight for the real estate office, which is smart, but she gets caught in a loopy conversation with the old man who asks if she’s looking for a rental.
Tae-il wanders about until a woman in a sports car stops to ask him if he needs directions. Heh. Life is so different for the pretty. And Gook flails about until he spots a deliveryman on a scooter and chases him down.
Pan-seok saunters over to the address to wait, and Dae-gu is the first to run up, with the rest of this teammates only seconds behind. I’m impressed that they all made it, but Pan-seok scowls and says he just got through telling them how they’re supposed to be a team, and they all came separately. He climbs into the van and makes them follow on foot.
The next lesson is Stakeout 101: he says that to catch a raccoon, you either go in after it, or you wait patiently until the raccoon comes out on its own. Basically they have to stay in the van, and if one of them comes out before twelve hours are up, they go straight to the next lesson without rest.
Gook is already regretting his choice to be a detective, while Tae-il suggests they think of it like a long flight to Paris. Dae-gu snatches the water bottle out of Soo-sun’s hand and reminds her sternly that they have twelve hours to go.
Four hours later, they’re trying to distract each other with small talk. Seven hours later, they’re desperately trying not to pee their pants, and a silent but deadly smell makes everyone pinch their noses and turn accusingly towards Dae-gu.
Eleven hours later, everyone’s got a screw loose. Gook asks if he’s already peed his pants because he can’t tell, and the others have to hold him back from running out with one hour left to go. When he can’t get past Soo-sun, he tries Dae-gu’s door.
It opens, and HA—Dae-gu is the first one out. Pan-seok enjoys the moment thoroughly and doesn’t hide the gloating.
As promised, they go straight to their next mission, where Pan-seok shows them CCTV footage of a man coming out of an apartment building and throwing away a chewed-up wad of gum in a wrapper.
He says that this is the last piece of DNA evidence they have left in this fake case, so they have to find the gum. They all look at him like he’s crazy. If you only knew how many cigarette butts this man once collected voluntarily.
The foursome faces off with the mound of trash, pink gloves at the ready. Gook and Tae-il immediately complain that this isn’t worth it, Soo-sun sighs that she has it the worst because she’s got a dog’s sense of smell, but again Dae-gu is the first to give up and walk away. Soo-sun runs after him to point out that this is his fault for leaving the stakeout van early.
He tells them it’s pointless anyway, since Pan-seok can’t fire them as easily as he’s letting on. He reminds them that they heard Chief Kang back them up during the meeting—it means she has a vested interest in their survival.
The boys are quick to take Dae-gu’s side, arguing that they could very easily go home right now and return to the precinct later and lie that they searched every bit of trash and came up empty.
Soo-sun rails at them for taking the weasel’s way out, and all it takes is one whip-cracking And you call yourselves men?! for Tae-il and Gook to shuffle back to trash duty. Haha, she’s so the boss of them. Even Dae-gu is a little amazed at how quickly they fold at her order, but he just turns around and walks away.
She seethes at his disloyalty, and grabs the nearest trash bag and just starts pounding him in the back of the head, lol.
Hilariously, the thing she calls him out on: “Did you think I wouldn’t know that you’re the one who farted?!” They all argue back and forth over the stakeout fart, and she just keeps hitting him until the bag finally bursts and trash flies everywhere.
But among the shower of debris is a gum wrapper—the very one they’re looking for. The whole group comes to a screeching halt, and then everyone dives for it, leading to an all-out war over who gets to claim the gum wad.
It’s a hair-pulling, trash-flinging mess of a dogpile, and the gum wrapper changes hands like a hot potato until finally Soo-sun gets a hold of it and stuffs it in her bra before the boys can reach her. Her victory smile is priceless.
They slo-mo walk into the precinct, covered in trash and making everyone recoil at their stench. Pan-seok is rendered speechless as Soo-sun holds out the gum wad and says with full-on crazy eyes that she found it.
Pan-seok tries not to gag and tells them to clean up because they’re going to go wrap up the nightclub case. Yay, they passed!
The team busts in on the ringleader, who’s actually teaching an academy-style class on how to con sugar daddies to a room full of girls. During the arrest, Soo-sun picks up on a peculiar smell from one of the girls, and Pan-seok finds marijuana in her purse.
Her teammates acknowledge Soo-sun’s self-proclaimed dog nose, and she robotically recites the girl’s Miranda rights as she cuffs her. Pan-seok finds even more drugs in her possession, and Dae-gu notices a picture of her boyfriend on her phone.
He thinks back to the club, and it dawns on him that he saw the boyfriend—likely her drug supplier—talking to the stab victim just before he was found bleeding to death. He chooses not to say anything.
At the other precinct, Pan-seok hands over the drug dealer’s girlfriend to the narcotics task force and asks to call it even now. The other detective isn’t impressed, but then Dae-gu hands him the phone and says the boyfriend should be the dealer he’s looking for.
That’s the guy they were trying to catch in the club before all hell broke loose, and the detective says Dae-gu is better than Pan-seok. Eep.
Pan-seok flips his lid and asks why Dae-gu didn’t say anything about it earlier, and he spits back defiantly that Pan-seok didn’t ask, “And I figured you wouldn’t trust the word of an infantile carp-for-brains anyway.”
Everyone braces for impact, but Pan-seok just barks at them to return to their own station. When he gets there, Pan-seok sees Sa-kyung walking by and follows her.
He peeps at her through the blinds which is a little skulky, especially when she takes off her shirt to try and put a patch on her back.
That’s when he sees her back covered in giant bruises, and he reaches for the door, but can’t bring himself to open it. Instead he just watches heartbroken from the window, until she finally notices him and tells him to help if he’s going to watch.
His voice turns so meek when he’s with her. He asks how she got so bruised, and she doesn’t give much of an answer, but the two-second touch is pretty much all that needs to be said.
He hesitates, as if the three-square-inch space of the menthol patch is his only safe zone for touching her. It’s so unexpectedly timid and tender. He asks if she’ll have dinner with him, but she turns him down and says she wouldn’t be able to digest her food with him around.
Soo-sun comes by the evidence room and her jaw drops to see them together like that. Pan-seok catches her snooping, and tells her she’s dead if he catches her one more time.
Gook wakes up in the middle of the night and comes into Dae-gu’s room because he hears the TV on. He goes to shut off the projector that’s playing a drama on his ceiling, and nearly loses a hand when Dae-gu wakes up with a start. He growls at Gook to get out, and leaves the TV on like he can’t sleep without it. D’awww, watching him curled up in fetal position breaks my heart.
Soo-sun heads home and she narrates that she’s been living in this gosiwon village for the last three years with the simple goal of becoming a full-fledged member of society. She doesn’t know if this is her dream, but she feels proud of a hard day’s work.
But when she gets to her gosiwon, there’s a ruckus outside and she learns that the building has been sold to a new owner, and their deposits have disappeared along with the previous landlord. Her face falls—she paid three months in advance, and has nowhere to go. Heyyyyyy, I know someone who has a bunk bed!
Dae-gu arrives at the precinct early the next morning, and takes the chance to dig around in Pan-seok’s desk. He doesn’t notice Soo-sun coming around the corner (she must’ve slept here), and she watches him curiously.
Once people start filing into the office he stops, and belatedly notices she’s been there the whole time.
Pan-seok lines them up and hands each set of partners their first official cases where they’re the lead detectives. Dae-gu and Soo-sun get a stalker case, and Tae-il and Gook get a plastic surgery office theft. Pan-seok is going to be away for two nights on official business, and warns them not to ever act alone.
Dae-gu nags Soo-sun the whole time she’s driving (she does drive like a granny) and takes her phone away when she answers a call about her lost gosiwon deposit. When she takes it back insisting that it’s okay because they’re stopped at a light, he honks the horn and tattles on her to the two traffic cops standing at the intersection. Pfft.
She ends up with a ticket for talking on her phone while driving, and fumes in silent outrage. They meet with their stalking victim, who tells them about the man she met on a blind date who won’t stop calling and following her.
It escalated when she met a new guy on a blind date, and the stalker started stealing things and making death threats. Dae-gu asks if she has any evidence, because they can’t proceed otherwise since stalking is a misdemeanor. He says coldly that that’s all they can do and gets up to leave.
But Soo-sun can see how scared the woman is, and offers to get the evidence so they can nab the guy. Dae-gu drags her outside to lecture her on thinking first, or at least keeping her mouth shut if she can’t fire up her brain.
She just wants to help people and do the right thing, but he has no desire to lift a finger to do anything above and beyond the very minimal, by-the-book call of duty, and tells her he won’t be a backup dancer to her one-woman overzealous show.
He tells her to do it all herself if she’s so eager, and starts to walk away. But Soo-sun stops him in his tracks with a very familiar string of insults—the exact childish words she spewed at him when they were tweens and he made her miss her idol audition.
She adds that she could also tell Pan-seok about Dae-gu snooping around in his desk this morning, and counts to three with her phone dangling out. He scoffs, “Do you think that’ll get me to work?” Cut to: Dae-gu retrieving CCTV footage of the stalker.
They get to work, and Dae-gu half-heartedly goes along with Soo-sun’s plans to try and catch the stalker in the act.
Meanwhile, Tae-il and Gook head to the plastic surgery office, and Gook gets ushered to the face consultation line by the receptionist. Ha. As they walk away, a man comes up to the desk to ask if Tae-il is a patient here because he wants to look like that guy.
The case involves propofol theft, which the clinic believes was committed by a patient. Gook watches the live CCTV feed of the multiple exam rooms, and says this patient is suspicious because she keeps going from room to room and changing her clothes.
The receptionist points out that they’re different women. Gook: “But they look the same!” HA. Okay, that made me laugh out loud.
On their way out, a young doctor runs up and surprises Tae-il with a kiss on the cheek. Gook watches slackjawed as Tae-il pushes the man away brusquely and tells him to stay away from him. There’s an edge to his voice that makes it seem like they aren’t just overly affectionate friends.
Dae-gu and Soo-sun stage a meeting with the stalker, waiting to pounce the second he gets violent. But despite being highly delusional (he talks as if he’s the woman’s boyfriend, which he clearly is not), he doesn’t show any outward signs of being aggressive.
The woman tells the stalker in no uncertain terms that they were never together, and she’s with someone else now. The stalker wrings his hands nervously, but doesn’t give the reaction they were expecting. So Soo-sun texts Dae-gu to go play the boyfriend to try and get a reaction out of him.
He rolls his eyes but complies, and even as he leads the woman away, the stalker just stews silently. Is he not as violent as they think or just building up a scary amount of inner rage?
Outside, Soo-sun assures the woman not to worry because they’ll keep watch over her 24 hours a day. Now it’s Dae-gu’s turn to fume silently.
Pan-seok’s work trip turns out to be a lecture at the police academy, where he was invited as the sunbae students most want to meet. After an uncharacteristically encouraging lecture, he opens it up for questions, and a young man asks what his first unsolved case was and why it remains unsolved.
Pan-seok’s face dims as he tells them about the unsolved murder case of an eyewitness to a murder, and the disappearance of her fifteen-year-old son. Chief Kang comes by after the lecture and wonders if he’s feeling nostalgic, and he admits to being asked about that case from eleven years ago.
She worries that he’s still so fraught over a case that’s ancient history, and asks if he won’t forget and move on. He sighs that he’ll have to, especially since the statute of limitations on it is winding down soon.
Soo-sun and Dae-gu bicker during their stakeout, and she pretty much has to blackmail him into talking to her. But she’s surprised when he shows her that he’s reading the stalker’s entire online history while they’re sitting here.
She dozes off while he continues to read, and at first he just seems annoyed at her snoring, but then when he sees her shivering from the cold, he sighs and takes his jacket off. Aw, you softie.
He swings the jacket over to her side… and carelessly chucks it over her head. Pfft. His alarm rings at midnight, and he takes his jacket back and opens her window until her face slides out of it and she jerks awake.
His analysis is that the stalker is a meticulous OCD type, who never misspells a word or ever posts after 1 AM. He’s thorough and consistent, which Dae-gu concludes means one very important thing: they can go home now.
Soo-sun is wary of calling it a night, but Dae-gu swears that it’s a fact that the stalker won’t show this late, and packs up his things to go. Soo-sun hesitates but can’t really argue since he sounds so sure, and gets ready to leave for the night.
She pauses when she gets a call about her gosiwon deposit, which is right when the stalker drives past her. Ack. The woman looks out the window to make sure the detectives are still there. Assured that they are, she agrees to meet the stalker, who asks her to meet him one last time.
She heads out armed with a tape recorder, and sends Soo-sun a text about meeting the stalker at a café to secure the evidence they need. This is a terrible idea. She’s nervous as she gets into the stalker’s car, but sees Soo-sun’s car waiting just up ahead.
What she doesn’t know is that Soo-sun has seen none of this, and a wave of panic washes over her as they pass her car and Soo-sun doesn’t even glance her way. Craaaap.
Meanwhile, Dae-gu has walked to the convenience store, and he pauses to thoughtlessly straighten a few milk cartons that are sitting askew. It triggers an idea and he stops to check the stalker’s posts from tonight just in case.
He finds a string of messages, all the same as before, except for one crucial detail—words are misspelled. He’s changed his routine, and that can only mean bad things.
He runs back to the victim’s house and bangs on the door, and Soo-sun rushes up after him. It’s then that she checks her phone and sees the message, and they tear out of there to get to the coffee shop.
They’re aren’t there, and Soo-sun panics that this is all her fault. Pan-seok calls, which freaks her out even more, and Dae-gu tells her not to answer it. He barks at her to keep quiet for a second while he figures this out, and he starts scanning his brain for the stalker’s messages, sweat gathering on his face.
He recites the stalker’s creepy threats one after the other in rapid-fire succession, and then gets to the one they need: he keeps mentioning the place where they first met, and in one post he names the park.
Dae-gu whips the steering wheel so fast that Soo-sun gets pressed against her window as they u-turn. They run through the park, and then stop when they see a small crowd gathered around a tree. Oh no.
They push their way past the people… and find the woman they promised to protect lying at the foot of the tree, a knife wound in her stomach. She’s dead, isn’t she?
COMMENTS
Damn, what a harsh lesson to learn on your first case. I can’t believe she died on their watch, right after they set her up as bait, provoked her stalker, and then promised to protect her. Augh. I don’t mind it as story turn though, because it’s what Dae-gu needs to knock him off his high horse and make him less complacent. He might have taken this job for other nefarious reasons, but as long as he’s actually working as a cop, he can’t keep risking people’s lives by just doing the minimum amount of work required to get by.
It also opens up a crucial parallel between Dae-gu and Pan-seok, and maybe now that Dae-gu has experienced how decisive one misstep can be, he will consider the possibility that Pan-seok was just a rookie detective who made a terrible mistake that cost a life. I don’t expect it to be a quick revelation (and certainly not a welcome one, since he seems to be surviving on hate), but we’re setting the stage for him to walk in Pan-seok’s shoes until he’s forced to consider it from the detective’s point of view. I like the poetry in that—that he becomes a detective to catch Pan-seok, but will in all likelihood come to understand him because of the job.
With the clock set on the statute of limitations on Mom’s murder, not to mention Pan-seok’s self-imposed three-month deadline to scare the detective dreams out of our rookies, we’ve got a good setup for our overarching mystery to coincide with the rookies earning their stripes. I really like all the different personalities on the team, and I hope there’s more training torture in store.
Dae-gu and Soo-sun are fantastic together (Is it wrong that I love it most when they’re hating each other?) and I cannot wait for them to be bunkmates. ‘Cause that’s happening, right? I mean, we’re not going to let potential roommate monkey business just lie there untapped, are we? Now that would be a crime.

Okay, I know it's probably necessary for their growth, but I really do hope this is Dae Gu and Soo Sun's wake up call. When real people (or fake drama people) start getting hurt it's not really that funny anymore.
I also really hope she's not dead because that's a very harsh lesson... and yeah, it's one they might need to learn but it also would kind of suck the fun out of the show in a way. When PS didn't protect Dae Gu's mom, you know he was trying his best and wanted to help her. Here it's because they are kind of incompetent. It's going to be hard to root for them if they end up with a dead person their first try.
Once Dae Gu decides to actually give a shit and Soo Sun calms down I feel the characters can finally grow, which is really needed. And someone really needs to give Dae Gu a hug. I guess he'll have a roomie soon though to annoy him to sleep.

Seriously, I hope that lady isn't dead and that they reached on time to call the ambulance. It would make the show much more serious and then difficult to keep the lighter aspects of it. Which would suck considering I liked how these rookies were being trained.

That fetal position reminded me of the fetal position LSG also lay in, in ep. 16 of TK2Hs. I just rewatched it, and I am always impressed/touched at how beautiful that scene is. The same thing happened here: I loved how LSG quietly curled himself into that position.

This drama completed its development and went in production sometime before the sinking of Ferry Sewol. The rookie mistakes (no matter how unrealistic), I have no doubt, were intended for humor and comic effects only. But then, the Ferry sank, and with it, several hundreds died.
Since then, the nation has identified three culprits behind the disaster, and one of them is the police (called Sea Police in Korea, equivalent to Coast Guards in the US). I won't repeat here the list of failures or dereliction of duty committed by the Sea Police in this disaster, which can be easily found online.
The drama's portrayal of its police academy graduates being so unqualified, unprepared, incompetent or even grossly negligent is most certainly not real and only for dramatic effects. Nor do I believe that the veteran South Korean policemen are exceptionally susceptible to bribery or routinely connected to criminal enterprises.
Yet, the timing of this drama is truly uncanny and unfortunate, both for the police and the family of victims. Several lines in this episode alone were painfully on point.
Perhaps, among other things, the drama can go easy on the female rookie's antics. And clear up fast the ridiculous suspicion against the Chief. (I still can't understand why a police officer rather than a prosecutor gets involved with or takes responsibility for anything, like witness, during the trial stage. The risk of jeopardizing the State's case by a non-lawyer police officer, unless directed and supervised by a prosecutor, is all too high.)

Love your recap as usual, GF! I really enjoyed this episode with the light-hearted laughs and tension towards the end. I hope the girl didn't die as it'll be too difficult for Dae Gu and Soo Sun to continue in their job. Pan Seok hasn't moved on after 11 years.

Thanks for the recap!! Great stuff to read when I'm procrastinating on papers... Anyways, I really love Lee Seung Gi in this and he has great chemistry (platonic and romantic) with Go Ara. It's strange to see him with all this broody angst when I always imagine him as an excitable puppy, so I hope there are more hijinks in the following episodes ;)

Thanks for the recap Girlfriday! You are just as funny as this episode, save the last scene.
And thanks for explaining the significance of the blotched job. I was initially concerned about where this drama was heading - especially the last scene, and if it was to draw a parallel between Pan Seok's inability to save Daegu's mum and DG's inability to save the victim and hopefully draw him out of his moroseness, then it's good. I certainly hope they'll go that direction.
I just wish that they'll add more depth to Daegu's character and have him thawing a little more - you know just a tiny smile will even suffice.
But I wish I could love SS more. Right now, I just find her annoying. And yes, it seems as if they are setting DG and SS up as roomies. How else would she get to be up close and personal with him?

I loooooooove Go Ara here. She has determination, spunk, respect for her profession, and best of all loyalty. Absolutely enjoyed the scene when she called the boys out on trying to weasel their way out of the task and made them work on it; admired her for tenaciously helping out her client and even comforting her; and adored her for keeping the group together and smoothing the rough spots. Her only fatal flaw is being a bird-brain (not thinking for herself) which was endearing until the girl got stabbed in the park. My heart is totally clenching in fear for how Pan-seok is going to react on that.
Lee Seung-gi is also doing a fantastic job of his character. Love how he is slowly being pulled out of his one-man revenge story and shoved into hilarious hijinks of being a detective (letting out a silent-but-deadly). Girlfriday, you were spot-on about how this first case will let him peer a little into Pan-seok's world and possibly affect his perspective.
All in all, a really great show. I went from laughing like crazy to suddenly gripped with fear at the end. All in a seamless way which really, kudos to the writing, directing, and acting. Can't wait for episode four.

Cosigned. I really like this recent trend of non-candy types female leads, much more relatable when they aren't the just the pure soul who reacts to her costar. Go Ara is bring the laughs! and I cannot wait for the hijinks with LSG to really begin.

I agree with this so much. At the end of this episode, I had to ask myself, "How did they transition from hilarious to tragic without missing a beat and without it seeming forced and unnatural?" They did the same thing in the first episode, so smoothly that you barely even notice that it's happening. I'm really impressed by that.

I need someone's help: I cannot decide what drama to watch. My choices are: You are all surrounded, A new Leaf, triangle, Witch's Romance, Doctor Stranger.
Please someone who is watching them give me advice :(

I watch all of them. Seriously, just pick the ones that seem the most interesting to you based on synopsis, cast, and general commentary on recaps. Then save the other ones for later when you don't have much to watch. They're all good in their own ways.
Still, I'll try to sell 'em to you and you decide which ones you like best:
1. You're All Surrounded: hilarious; all-around awesome cast of good actors; compelling storyline; no character is annoying. Why you might not like it: the bumbling cop stuff may not be your thing?
2. A New Leaf: has two awesome ajhusshis (Kim Myung-min, Kim Sang-joong); a very interesting storyline. Why you might not like it: complicated legal jargon?
3. Doctor Stranger: this one really depends on your tastes but I guess Lee Jeong-sook is the major selling point. Everything else is variable.
4. Witch's Romance: a good breezy rom-com; sizzling chemistry between OTP; interesting story. You might not like it if you watched My Queen and loved it much more.
5. Triangle: interesting story and characters. But a bit on the slow side.

Angel Eyes was a 100 times better when they had the teen actors. Kang Ha-Neul is awesome. Nam Ji-hyeon is very cute and believable. You could see their chemistry.
However I am getting a feeling of a limp noodle from Gu Hye-sun and Lee Sang-yoon. Gu was way better in "Take Care of us, Captain."
Plus, like the rookie cops in YAAS, it portrays EMTs as incompetent patient transporters. :P

I'm watching all of them too due to lack of life lol. On Mondays I start with Witch's Romance because Mondays suck and I need a pick me up. It's warm and moving and sweet just like Dongha whom I want for myself. He's such a dear. After I pick up the pace with Doctor Stranger which has my heart racing and me on the edge of my seat. Lastly, I watch Triangle before bedtime because it's current slow pace eases me into a comfortable sleep. I also hope that Jaejoong and Siwan will visit me in my dreams. On Tuesday it's You're All Surrounded followed by A New Leaf if I have time.

I admit I had a good laugh in the first half of the episode. So we have the brain Dae Gu, the nose Soo Sun, and the casanova Tae Il. Is beeing casanova his strength? Or we haven't seen his real skill, yet? Can't wait to see what Ji Gook strength is. Maybe his hearing? And we're going to see Dae Gu and Soo Sun as roommates soon? Good, he'll have someone to hug him when he sleeps because him curling up on his bed is just really sad.

I can't help but hope that the stalking case was a setup by Pan-seok to see if they could keep her safe. Or I'm hoping that she is just injured and not dead. Because that is a horrible way to learn the lesson of being diligent on the job. But maybe that's what it takes for them to learn. Dae-gu is way too arrogant (he should know that the only predictable thing about people is that they're unpredictable) and Soo-sun needs to keep her head in the game-not dosing off on the job or answering personal calls on a stake-out.
On the flip-side, I want the roommate hijinks because that would be great to watch.

I really hadn't thought of it, but yeah I wouldn't be surprised if these are fake cases just to see how they'd do. PS doesn't trust them so I almost find it hard to believe he'd leave them alone to do this.
DG is too arrogant and SS is really easily distracted. She has a strong sense of justice, but she also takes phone calls when she shouldn't.

Based on the writer's history, I think we're in for some heartwarming stuff and this episode made me laugh out loud a few times. The comedy doesn't seem forced (which is obvious in some dramas) and so far I love the rookie detectives and also simultaneously intrigued by both Pan-seok and Dae-gu's past. Dae-gu and Soo-sun are hilarious together. I think this drama has good balance on comedy and action where every minute doesn't have to be about life-and-death.
I have to say though, as weird as Doctor Stranger is, it captivates my attention faster and I was anticipating this drama more, but I have a feeling that I'm gonna love YAAS in the long run, especially when they get into the core story of Dae-gu's mom's death and Pan-seok's past :)

At an intellectual level, I understand that the stalker case and the victim's unfortunate wound/death is a wake up call that parallels Pan-seok's rookie day's mistake concerning Dae-gu's mom as mentioned, but I just get such a visceral reaction. Dae-gu's haughtiness and Soo-sun's unprofessionalism simply screamed incompetence. I really wanted to punch both of them because, yeah, she's fictional but in this fictional world, she's just as alive as they are. Her death was partly their fault and though the drama will try to redeem them, I don't feel like I will be as forgiving. At least it really hit home what Pan-seok always says, "A rookie can make a mistake, but a cop can't."

Thanks for the recap GF! I'm a bit surprised when I saw some comments about this episode being draggy/bad because I loved it.
Soo-sun is a really awesome female lead. I don't find her annoying and her enthusiasm and honesty is really well defined. When everyone decides to take the shortest (and most of the time - wrong) route, she's the one who kicks their asses and gets them back on track. But what I love most about Soo-sun is that she's in this, working as a detective, for the right reasons. She is ready to work hard and go the extra mile to help anyone who needs it. Yea sure, she's reckless, overly emotional and sometimes a birdbrain but her intentions are honest and sincere. I love a female lead who may not be idealistic but one I'd root for because she's just so damn earnest.
Dae-gu, on the other hand, needs this lesson more than anyone. A photographic memory and IQ of 150 makes not a good detective; sincerity and commitment does. He has one, but not the other and so it is much more his fault than Soo-sun that they've led their first case's victim to her possible death. Of course his observations were spot on but they provoked the stalker and caused him to crack. If Dae-gu was as smart as he thinks he is, he should've realized that for a maniac like the stalker, he can have a mental breakdown anytime and after the restaurant fiasco, it was suicidal to be so complacent.
Dae-gu has a lot of demons he needs to exorcise. But I think the most important one would be to learn to hold people's emotions in importance. He doesn't feel anything, and neither does he care. But others do, they aren't robots like him who tune their brain to a singular thing. His life must've been hard, but so are the victim's lives who they're assigned to save. He obviously is forgetting (or chooses not to remember) that it was due to a detective's carelessness that his mother died. He takes everything so lightly when the lives at stake is just as precious as the person he's lost.
The tension between Dae-gu and Pan-seok is freakin awesome. I keep fretting whenever they're at each other because you can just never tell when the heck either one will explode. And that curling in bed scene was gut-wrenching. When (it has to happen!) Soo-sun becomes his new roomie, I'm sure that will be an aspect that she'll change about him. She can help him sleep without the tv on, or in a normal position because she's there to protect him - if he'll ever trust a bird brain like her. At the moment, its a far-off scenario though, lol.

Yeah, I don't find it the least bit draggy/bad either. If anything, I felt the hour went by really fast and my attention never wavered for a moment.
I also love Soo-sun's earnestness. For once a female lead who is into her job and doesn't simply react to others but takes charge. I wonder what happened for her to go from wanting to be a celeb to a detective; for her to no longer care that much about her name being weird; and what she thought of the whole Masan murder (surely the news must have spread?).
Dae-gu certainly has, for now, a one-track mind. All he cares about is somehow avenging Pan-Seok. So yes, hopefully, this incident will jolt him and make him realize his job is important too. However, I don't think he thinks that it was a detective's mistake that me him lose his mom. More like he finds Pan-seok the culprit.

May 15, 2014 at 6:56 AM
Soo-sun is awesome in my books. I think her celebrity dream could've been a childish one. So maybe nothing serious happened? We all have dreams to be something when we were younger, and then realize there's no future in that so we give up. Or maybe there was a huge tragedy which made her give up on it - it could tie into Dae-gu's disappearance, but they'll probably shed light on that later in the drama. But one thing for sure, I do think she's less insecure as she had been in the past.
I think he was mad at Pan-suk for not being able to protect his mom, but understands that it could happen. But yea, only after the school incident did he really turn out vengeful. Dae-gu's outward appearance is shown to be super smart and really mature. But as they peel his layers, they're definitely showing his lack of maturity. Like him tapping Pan-suk's phone, installing CCTV or rummaging through books in the office; way too early for those things. He's so driven by his revenge that his life would be completely empty without it, so when he does find out Pan-suk is not guilty (hopefully!), it will come crashing down to him real bad.

This episode just solidify every sense of the show's potential. I just love the moment when Dae-Gu slept with the TV show on, that scene ripped my heart off. The mystery behind his mom's death just get better now that there's a ticking clock on the case. The squad (& possibly roomies) makes the weirdest combination, but I just love when they're together. My favorite part of the show though is how it doesn't scare to smack the character & viewers with harsh reality. Now I just can't wait for more crushing.

I am shaking my head at the fact that some find the stabbing a writing issue. Where is there a manual that says a work cannot mix comedy and still have sad parts? Sad parts which, by the way, help with character development. Yes, these two got someone killed. The world did not collapse. It's a cop series, they are cops, it's bound to happen at some point in their lives and they will evolve from it.
If the industry has created certain expectations for every genre and viewers are used to those, that is fine, but it does not make any deviation from that or mixing of genres automatically bad. Just a different approach.
I would have had an issue with it had we not been eased into the series tone, but seeing the whole backstory pretty much spells there will be drama down the road. And that is not a bad thing, for me, as long as we don't go makjang. Having laughs and still seeing people killed or hurt is not a writing mistake. It is simply a clash of creative decisions and audience expectations.
I'm personally loving this balance, as I did in works like 'Salaryman', 'Evasive Inquiry Agency' and other such pieces that did not show fear in doing their own thing, rather than obediently being just clones of the genre they were assigned to.

This episode was funny/boring and irritating at the same time. Funny because the cast is great, specially Go Ara, she is shining there. Boring because of the political part and their superiors and their reunions. Irritating for the most part because of the young detectives team brutal incompetence. And I just don't feel the chemistry between LSG and Go Ara's character.

This episode kinda dragged for me. I think when it cops to cop dramas, the Grandpas Investigation team is the one for me. Am not liking the crime of the week format and would like to have even more of the larger mystery. Who is the other Detective Seo? I know the Big Bad disappaeared but really...gimme something. And seriously, the girl rookie is still the most intrusive pushy person I've ever seen. I don't like intrusiveness and although it's supposed to show her spunk and all, her aegyo not-minding-her-own-business ways is really grating. I hope the writer is aware of how annoying she is. I would so hate for writer-nim to think we are all liking this. I for one am not.

May 15, 2014 at 9:08 AM
Whoah, I totally disagreed with just about everything you said. This must be a first, ha!
1. This does not look like a crime of the week format to me. More like cases interspersed in between to set the stages for character growths and moving the story along. There's just no open-shut quality to them as say the regular crime procedural shows.
2. Soo-sun annoying and intrusive? I'll admit for about five minutes I was affronted because I loved this character so much. How is caring for the client and doing all one can to solve the case be intrusive? For me, she took her job seriously: she wanted to prove her worth and at the same time kept the clients' best interests at heart. That's a mark of professionalism. Plus, isn't it the job of a detective to find credible evidence? Since it wasn't there, they obviously had to work to get it. On the other hand, Dae-gu leaving matters alone was more unprofessional even if he was citing stuff from a cop manual.
I also disagree that Soo-sun's spunk was being portrayed through her "intrusiveness." She is spunky to keep others from ruining her chances of becoming a cop. Which is reasonable. I would also be upset if my chances of achieving my goals rested on teamwork and there were disloyal teammates involved.

Soo Sun may have a lot of heart, but professional she is not. It is definitely a detective's job to find evidence, but not to induce/provoke a potential criminal to commit a crime so that they can catch him in the act. What makes it worse is that not only are they behaving unprofessionally, they are incompetent too.
Dae Gu is even worse. With his mindset and attitude, I really wonder how he managed to graduate from police academy or got accepted as a police officer.

That's why I said mindset and attitude i.e. psychological profile. All big organisations will put their potential employees through psychological/personality testing, and I would think that the police force is no exception. Never doubted his intelligence since he has a high IQ, photographic memory etc. It's just that he has poor work attitude, poor discipline, poor team spirit..., not the attributes that any HR will be happy about.
Guess that his character is purposely written this way so that we can see his great character growth in the future episodes, but the negatives are just a bit too much, they should show some more redeeming qualities so that we can root for him, instead of just playing the sympathy card...oh poor Daegu, he's so broken...
SooSun despite a lack of experience, shows commitment and a caring attitude, but she really needs to focus more instead of being so easily distracted, especially when lives are at stake.

Hmm...I'm thinking that she didn't die and is just wounded. The preview for the next episode made it seem like Soo Sun was at the hospital, so I'm assuming it was for the girl. Hopefully, she's still alive cause while I get the parallel they are trying to create between Pan Seok and Dae Gu, I think the girl surviving and then questioning why the cops left her in the first place will result in a much stronger (faster) reaction from the two.
Either way, this was a cute and fun episode, I loved the missions Pan Seok had them do in the beginning, and then end was a good way to remind us that these are detectives in the Violent Crimes division so they're gonna have to step up their game soon :)

To me the situation highlighted my biggest problem with the show. I'm pretty sure that new cops are partnered with experienced cops and that is how they learn the job. Most jobs are a fraction of schooling and a lot of experience. Who lumps together 4 brand new detectives, who haven't even been cops, and lets them loose on the world. Shouldn't the two supervisors at least be supervising, say take two each?
That being ranted. I'm loving the unrealistic situation and this is a great show. Who needs reality when you can have cute fun.

It's incredibly unlikely she died from stabbing. It takes A LOT of stabs to stab someone to death. Fortunately most people don't know that. Which is why most victims of stabbings live. People grossly underestimate how much they need to stab to get the job done. My prediction. She lives.

Yikes, I don't know what to feel about this episode though all I can say is that it's intense. I love the pacing and the editing! Feels like a short episode because so much is happening. I also love the build-up of everything - from being messy to being professionals. The rookies are fun to watch in their clumsiness and stupidity in the sense that the payoff in the end will be worth it.
On the flip side, I'm not sure about SS. I don't think I love her... yet (still giving her room since this is just the third episode) but so far I don't really like her character. Can't recite the code, snoops in her boss' private affairs, and then falling asleep on the job. She also doesn't seem to have a mind of her own - just following Dae Gu at the end without forming her own conclusions of the stalker's actions - when she was the one who so heroically wanted to protect the victim in the first place. It annoys and bother me, and makes me ask if her character is really necessary in the series. But seeing that no rookie here is perfect (it just happens that SS' flaws were the most annoying to me) I think I might reserve judgment for her character later. I get that these flaws and mistakes are just to set up what would (hopefully) be an awesome transformation to her character, and I'm so looking forward to that.
