Hi kimlean, actually, currently, I'm watching KB's recent drama, "Mrs. Cop 2". I'm only on EP2 so can't comment that much yet.

[willenette]

*** I'm done re-watching KB's last drama, "Mrs. Cop 2". The series were fairly stable. The 1st (2) EPs spend a substantial amount of time setting the scene and tone for what is to come. Apart from the generally humorous stance of the early EPs serious moments are apparent. I haven’t watched the 1^st season but I heard that the series has obviously taken clear measures to differentiate itself from the first season. I love the part 2 though because it’s so badass. I love very much KB’s acting here.

[Funcurve Review] "Mrs. Cop 2"

 

Spoiler

Bumpy Rollercoaster

Coming off of the popularity of the original "Mrs. Cop", "Mrs. Cop 2" quickly brings back the thrilling story of yet another ahjumma cop, this time, one with FBI training. Our heroine Go Yoon-jeong (Kim Seong-ryeong) returns to South Korea from the U.S. and is asked to fill in the spot left behind by our original squad chief Choi Yeong-jin (Kim Hee-ae), who is taking a break from police work.

Above everything, the acting was superb.

In a nut shell, "Mrs. Cop 2" starts off very strong, then fizzles out in the middle, and unfortunately chooses to end in the stereotypical cliche way. Though above everything, the acting was superb. I loved the lead's accurate portrayal of the protagonist. While the antagonist came alive as someone who is pure evil with a thirst for "fun". All other characters are composed of the good things and have a high sense of justice. The drama gave the right amount of attention to each of its characters and the issues around them, though a few of them seemed to be unnecessary, with nothing to do with the plot whatsoever.

From a plot perspective, the drama had a number of twists that were off the record and I sat through them completely awestruck. However, there were a lot of draggy scenes and sequences which could've been avoided as well. Also, for a crime/cop drama, "Mrs. Cop 2" had surprisingly little action, which contributed to the dullness during certain parts of the drama. Overall, it was an enjoyable drama, but I think not everyone would sit through this somewhat uneven ride.

Episodes 1-4 Review

These four episodes saw a mighty transition from being mediocre to spine-chilling in one episode. "Mrs. Cop 2" balanced between intense white-knuckle scenes and highly comedic scenes while defining the main characters of the story well.

It balanced intense white-knuckle scenes with highly comedic ones.

Our heroine, Yoon-jeong, is a shrewd and funny fashion guru in her forties who rejoins the police force in Korea after training at the FBI. We quickly discover that she's a divorcee who wants to right a wrong from six years ago. To me, the protagonist seemed to be quite realistic and tangible. The way she uses face reading techniques to select her team members, and the way she uses different shoes stored at the office for different purposes show us that she's a superstitious yet systematic person.

Park Jong-ho (Kim Min-jong) from the original series returns, but this time, he opposes our protagonist and keeps giving her obstacles to make her quit. His quest ultimately leads Yoon-jeong to be assigned an unsolved cold case that turned into a serial murder case.

The potential antagonist candidate is Lee Ro-joon (Kim Beom), a rich and handsome young man in his twenties, where his father's death left him as CEO of a loan company. Ro-joon has a nasty temper that kills (literally) those who don't obey him and those that bad mouth him. He comes across as a highly intelligent and cunning individual. As Yoon-jeong interacts with him, we can also see that he's cruel but patient - a monster with self-control. He plays a pivotal role in solving the serial murder case proving his gray matter, yet again.

Yoon-jeong's team members consist of Sin Yeo-ok (Son Dam-bi) - a female deductive who is tough, smart, and kind. Oh Seung-il (Seulong) is an honest and righteous police officer who is law abiding by his bones and believes that no crime should go unpunished. The most senior member of the team is Bae Dae-hoon, a lazy, dirty, and pre-judgemental detective who follows Yoon-jeong earnestly and takes her word as law. Last but not least is the hardworking rookie, Kang Sang-cheol, who puts his job before everything. His boyish appearance mask his violence and is all in all the funniest one of the team.

What I liked about these episodes was that the team is formed quickly and no time is wasted on team "bonding" and such. The drama cuts to the chase and things move quickly with no illogical sequences or dry spots. The bit of romance between Seung-il and Yeo-ok also paints a lighter hue to the drama here. The opening episodes of "Mrs. Cop 2" certainly caught my attention as I loved the way it progressed - with cliffhangers that were worthwhile and comedy that was situational and genuine.

Hi Willenette!  Been a while huh?  Thank you for that info!  For sure Padam Padam made me cry but I felt happy at the end.  It was a very unusual drama at that but kept me watching.  Miss Bummie!

You know my question about the release of Yipman and Bruce Lee?  I think that project is one of all the recent K-dramas China will can and not release as they are banning Korean stars from filming in China.  What do you think?

BTW, have you heard anything new on Bummie?  Been a long time!

Hi kimlean, so NICE to see you here again. I find "Padam Padam" good. " Padam Padam" is truly excellent. Beautiful in so many ways. It truly has an excellent cinematography.  I have to say that the cinematography is amazing. Everything is shot so well and presented so beautifully. Jung Woo Sung is completely believable and Kim Bum is so endearing.  He does well. And that’s the kind of actor Jung Woo Sung is. Jung Woo Sung is outstanding. But, I watched this drama purely for Kim Bum.  His image overhaul for this drama had me hooked.  Those chiselled cheekbones and that ponytail become him.  And he did not disappoint me. I also liked Han Ji Min in this. I have to say. I really got into the swing of things from EP4. "Padam Padam" is I guess an hour per EP and I actually didn’t feel it. All in all, "Padam Padam" was an intense ride, with moments that actually brought tears to my eyes just like you.  There is a lot of warmth as you experience the characters. 

Oh, I hope we still could get to see Yipman and Bruce Lee despite of friction between two countries recently.

Again, like you, silence is so deafening on his side for quite a while now. Ye, it's been quite a long while, though. I hope we could get to hear some news about him soon.

Stay safe, dear!

Hi vanetran, thanks for sharing the link.There's good NEWS for him. Kim Bum is set to return to the big screen with the third sequel of comedy-mystery film “Detective K.” This is confirmed. He will start filming next month. Wow, it's been quite a long while since his last project. Alongside him, Kim Ji-won confirmed her appearance as the female lead who loses her memory and joins the duo’s investigation. I read that the new film, based on novel “The Banggakbon Murder Case” by Kim Tak-hwan, tells the story of Kim Min, or Detective K, and Han Seo-pil chasing a serial murderer during the reign of King Jeongjo in the Joseon era.

Hi evie, KB will begin his mandatory service this month, April! He will fulfill his mandatory military duty on April 26. This is so near. I heard that due to health problems, he has been assigned to be a public service worker.  It's a hereditary illness that he has been receiving continuous treatment since his early 20s. The name of the sickness is not revealed. I heard that he tried to overcome the sickness, but failed to do so. It's a private matter, anyway. The military knows, that’s what matter. He is entitled to his privacy.  He doesn't need to reveal it. As far as I remember he was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis a few years ago. He'll be undergoing basic military training first. His enlistment location is not revealed yet, though. I will miss KB for about 2 years. The non-active duty service, e.g. civil service or public service worker, is from 24 months to 36 months. Sigh..... I hope he's ok! I wish him the best. Fighting, Kim Bum!

Hi mxxella,  I heard that Kim Bum was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis (Osteoarthritis) in his early 20’s! It's a chronic disorder that damages the cartilage and tissues surrounding a joint. There's pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joint that is worse in the morning and following periods of inactivity. A reduction of symptoms will usually result with lightened activity. Pain typically begins in only one or a few joints, and is most common in the weight-bearing joints of the hips, knees, and feet. Symptoms also can occur in the fingers, toes, neck, and low back. As the disease progresses, new growths of bone or cartilage can enlarge the joints and cause significant pain and loss of mobility. I heard that he has tried to overcome the illness through medication and exercising. We noticed that Kim Bum’s weight has been fluctuating over the years. I heard that it indicates that the weight loss was due to the treatment and exercise for his condition.
