You're All Surrounded (2014)

Un buon drama che mescola il genere poliziesco, d'azione e una punta di romance. Non parlerei di protagonisti ma piuttosto di una squadra protagonista, con ruoli ben delineati e personaggi interessanti. L'idea di base non è originalissima: c'è un caso passato irrisolto che viene ripreso nel presente, dove tutto non è ciò che sembra e ciò che sembra a volte trae in inganno. Ci sono connessioni tra le varie figure che via via vengono alla luce, ci sono enigmi, indizi e moventi che si rincorrono e si fanno rincorrere. Non manca il taglio drammatico, e lì qualche lacrima - lo ammetto - mi è sfuggita. Il ritmo è buono, non sempre incalzante. Non la definirei una serie che mi rimarrà impressa nella memoria o che correrei a inserire nella top ten, ma non rimpiango il tempo dedicatole. Una buona visione, dunque.

This. This is it. This drama. This freaking drama is everything I've ever wanted to see. And never in my life did I think that I would end up loving a cop drama. But I did. And I'm so happy I gave this drama a chance because now it's one of my favourites.

The plot is the biggest advantage of this drama. It's a perfect mix of action, suspense, crime, drama, and even comedy and romance. What more could you want? And although I admit I got bored sometimes, the boredom didn't last long. There's always something happening in this drama, and numerous plot twists make everything even more exciting, interesting, and fun to watch. The pace of story development is also perfect, thanks to what it's pretty easy to follow the plot without any headaches. The romance between Dae Gu and Su Seon isn't cheesy and immature, so thank God there aren't any cringe worthy moments between those characters.
Seriously, if only more dramas were like that, I'm sure I wouldn't end up hating so many of them.

The cast is really well-chosen, so there's no surprise that the acting is one of the best I've seen so far. There are no awkward facial expressions or gestures, and the actors express the characters' feelings in a good, believable way. Only An Jae Hyeon's acting skills lack sometimes, but most of the time he isn't even that bad. So good job.

All of the main characters are likeable, which is kind of surprising considering that most dramas have many annoying characters. To be honest I was expecting Su Seon to be irritating, as almost every main female leads in dramas are, so imagine my surprise when I didn't end up hating her. And as you can learn from my other reviews, most of the time I hate main female characters. Also, I love how each character is different and special in a way. Thanks to that every character can add something new to the story.

This drama has its little flaws, but they're not very significant. I think the biggest flaw of "You're All Surrounded" is that a few of the last episodes are a little bit of a drag, but fortunately at episode 19 everything goes back to normal.

Overall, even if you don't like cop dramas, I suggest you give this one a chance. "You're All Surrounded" is something fresh, has an actual plot, and doesn't kill viewers with a cheesy romance. Seriously, we need more dramas like this one.
