Cruel City Episode 6

Perfect transition episode!

Wouldn't you know it? This is another great episode. A shocking event happens in the first few minutes that ends the stand-off we were left with on Monday. After this point, the viewer is pleasantly surprised with Ji Hyeong Min coming into his own as a character. He's believably resourceful and determined, even crusading on despite disgrace and injury. It's just great how he's smart enough to shake off short term misdirection that would have other characters scratching their heads for episodes. And his less-than legal actions are being noticed! All that's wrong is his timing.

On the other hand, we're slowly being introduced to the possibility that maybe our gangster Soo and undercover Soo Min will be problems in future episodes. Soo has his own agenda despite the (real!) friendship he and Shi Hyun share. And Soo Min... will she continue helping the police or do a full switch after what happened this time around? Waiting for Monday for the answers will be hard.

(How cute was Shi Hyun during the noodle scene though?)
