Shin's Project Episode 1

Just another day for Mr. Shin

The episode opens with Mr Shin walking to work. On the way, there is a guy on top of an apartment building dousing himself with fuel and threatening to set himself on fire. Mr Shin appears to be an average guy just minding his own business but he is far more than that. He smells a gas leak and breaks a window to vent and avoid an additional explosion. He talks the guy down with a hamper of laundry and chocolate milk, gets the ass of an owner away from the scene to quit stirring things up, and signals the police when safe to apprehend the young man and get him some help. He then rebukes a young police officer for being so dismissive about the little things that make people snap, offers him a coupon to his chicken shop and tells them to give him a call if any rewards are offered. They combine comedy with a serious situation and show Shin to be a great negotiator. This was well choreographed and the comedy not overdone. The next scene shows all the new judge aides graduating and excited to get their first assignments. Philip is joyful that the judge he admired most handpicked him. He questions his sanity when he finds himself being told to work in a fried chicken place.😂Shin and the judge have a heated discussion outside and it is clear they have history, but not so clear what that history is. The judge tells Shin he has a smart aide to assist him and to get working on a case file. There is a seafood place filing a complaint and he wants Shin to negotiate and get them to settle out of court. Philip finds himself the delivery boy who gets posted on a livestream. 😂 He makes his escape to find the shop empty but two adjacent shopkeepers wanting to see Mr Shin. It is clear they aren’t getting along. Philip finds himself locked out and is let in by the delivery gal Si On who literally kicks him out of the way to let him in. Shin and aide are heading to meet with On Pursuit producer. Philip makes the mistake of critiquing Shin’s driving and listing the various traffic violations he committed. He then finds himself tossed out of the car and fired. The host of the show was introduced to Shin and they briefly discussed the topic of salted seafood cooperative that was filing a complaint against the show. Shin was not as successful as mediator with this case, but he’s just getting started. He has bad luck with the salt seafood co op because they know the maggots were a set up. The biggest one not complying is a granny who learned her grandson planted the maggots in the barrels. Shin and aide learn there is a realtor making a land grab from the business location and already has a buyer for all the properties not even sold yet. At the restaurant, Si On has a busy night of deliveries. Everybody is disappointed seeing her and she finally sees the blog that has Phillip on it. Apparently many hoped to meet him in person. 😂Philip goes home and has difficulty responding to his parent’s questions about his new job. The granny gave up and tried pills to end it after grandson’s betrayal. She told them to just settle and be done with it. Si On makes the guys wear the pink helmet.😂 She and Philip tend to have painful encounters for him.. 😂🤣 The realtor has sent some thugs after Shin and he and Si On have a chase with her bike and their van. Now both sides have pics and know who they are looking for. Si On calls in some friends to distract them enough to give up the chase for now. Shin has called in his hacker friend Kim to get info on the realtor. Here is where he learns the HI group has had a resort plan that started two years ago plotting how to get that location from salted seafood co op. 😝 While he was finding out all this information, his aide Philip had busted his ass to get an settlement agreement written up and signed by all the shop keepers. Shin arrives just as they were all signed , sealed and delivered to tear them up and said there needed to be a revised agreement that gave them what they initially wanted to include an on air apology from On Pursuit show. When they were leaving they were steered towards a specific road where they were sandwiched between two construction trucks over a railroad track. Philip got out and watched the car get hit and knocked off the tracks. Shin managed to hurl himself across the track on other side. The episode ends with him glad to be alive lying between the track rails. Philip is relieved they survived and wondering what Shin had discovered to change his mind. This was an exciting first episode to introduce the characters with interesting situations and some comedy to lighten things up. This is an enjoyable watch if you like this type of genre so don’t let the rating discourage you.
