You're All Surrounded Episode 8

Just when I'm out, it pulls me back in!

Just when I'm out, it pulls me back in! This show is such a tease! Giving me good episodes and then taking them away! Thankfully this was a pretty solid one. And it looks like I'll be eating my own words. Kind of.

Pan Seok is not the mature leader I thought he was. No he tries to be and he does serious pretty well. But despite all his mistakes and hardships the guy is pretty darn playful. That sounds weird. But he's warm, funny, and clumsy. (Though I feel like the clumsy aspect isn't what the writers/director may have been going for.) When ever Pan Seok holds back his laughter or a smile it's pretty funny. It's a shame that he holds back that aspect of himself when he's so ready to embrace his anger. It's probably going to be a sticking point later on.

That said Pan Seok's team is moving on to a new case involving the death of a father. A father who may have been killed by one of his own sons! Add on top of that the joy, and cuteness of Pan Seok, trying to rekindle his romance with Sa Kyeong. It's nice to see her in a different mood. There's drama between Tae Il and Ji Kook after Tae Il tells his secret. Of course viewers are privy to it, but it's the giant "oh, now he didn't" in the room. There's plenty of love squaring here, it's clear who everyone wants to end up with. And who will sadly only achieve a bromance, but it's still fun.

The case of Dae Gu's mother's death is still going in in the back drop. It's killing me trying to figure out how the behind-the-ear scar man is friendly with Pan Seok! What is going on? That's a lovely mystery that I can't quite get my mind around. Maybe the scarred guy isn't the enemy? But an ally?

And finally someone knows about Dae Gu's true identity. Don't think Dae Gu can kiss his way out of it this time!
