Kill It Episode 3

5.0/10 - It's setup is strong.

Ha-ha! They're both like "I've been waiting a year for us to fight" dramatic chase scene!!! Instead of I don't know agreeing where to fight to the death or coming at each other. The Russian guy has tracked him down, and now he's chicken duty. Ha-ha! (Are we allowed to mild swear in reviews. Just in case edit occurred.)

So is Soo Hyun's helper working both sides? Hmmmmmm. Does Soo Hyun know. Not to mention that now he's been taken by the villains. When Soo Hyun inevitably tracks down the Russian the little hacker/helper dude doesn't want to be seen. I'm curious exactly who and how this guy is working the system. Namely betraying Soo Hyun. Or at least using him.

Hyun Jin's mom is ritzing up the place! Wow. That's presumptuous. Though that's probably normal. Just like bribing people to spy on her. While it's awful, I like that the writer and director are showing how awful it is that her mom is watching her wait. I saw those healthy/weight balancing meals. While I'm sure they're not letting Nana eat and gain weight (we know the pressure of the star) at least they're trying to address it. Soo Hyun's reaction to that and his actions toward Hyun Jin are pretty on piont. It's a good build up to see him picking up on queues in life and taking an interest in the people around him. Because Seul Gi he cares about he is willing to care about Hyun Jin because Seul Gi cares. Though I'm sure by now he's maybe thinking there's other connections he should be looking into with regards to her. Beyond Hyun Jin being a cop.

I think I got fuddled somewhere. I'm not sure if there is a reporter now? But his journals are the ones that the people are dying from now. (Who I assume might be Soo Hyun's dad. Nope just totally confirmed that Seul Gi is the daughter, but is Soon Hyun her older brother!!!! It could still work.) Maybe Hyun Jin's real dad is that scientist who is leaving the company. That's how both Hyun Jin and Soo Hyun end up at the orphanage together? Though the story leads us to believe she dies in the fire. Though my biggest question is. Where the fluffy bunnies did Soo Nyun get the paper airplanes? And keep them? I mean someone came to kill him! He lost his memories. I don't think Pavel would let him keep them. Or did he find them on his search for his past . . . but then how did they survive!!! DARN YOU WRITERS! Now I'm gonna be obsessed with how he got these paper airplanes. Because it led to such a huge plot development. Seems to me that Soo Hyun thinks that he might have known Hyun Jin. Or it was all a crappy devise that shows viewers they had a past at the orphanage and is only greasing the wheels for the characters to make the connection.

Oh, my! I totally missed that the girl trying to escape the sex trafficking guys was the Mom's who husband got framed. Yikes! I am really messing up. Or it's the way information is being presented. While on the topic of sex trafficking it's awesome that Hyun Jin used one of the Russian's lackeys weaknesses to exploit information. That if he gave up his boss that he'd get only 10 years in jail and be told the sex of his baby. It's chilling, and just, that Hyun Jin tells him "It's a girl. Isn't that just terrifying?" Wow. Karma will get you. I just hope it doesn't get the innocent child!

Random thought: The Russian evil villain guy has perfect smirk timing. Props. Also, one of the few guys I like with that type of facial hair.

I like the idea of the scientist getting the revenge. It feels right. Also, there's sexy voice. So she is working both sides. Very interesting. I'm wondering if the tech guy, Eui Soon, is also working with them? This just feels weird. Eui Soon is Soo Hyun and clearly only friend. It just feels so awful to see that he was betraying him to the Russians.

Kill It is definitely working to set itself up. To get all the story ducks in a row. I just find myself . . . expecting and wanting a bit more. It feels just a tad boring. It's odd things are being setup and answered, but I feel like not much is happening. Which is weird. The action is pretty great, it looks lovely, and it's building up intrigue. The actors are doing a great job and I feel invested in the characters. It just feels a bit off. For me. I don't know why. It's actually kind of bothering me.

Points for that kick butt ending! He's like "you had enough chances, die!" Though points taken away fro the obvious entry of a side to love triangle. Let me guess. The young attractive prosecutor. What kind of cheesy-stupid line was that? Oh, lame.
