He is SO cute! <3 I enjoyed his role in Doubtful Victory as A.Manager Ki ^_^ I look forward to seeing him in many more dramas in the future - hopefully leading to main roles ;) My type indeed ^^
No offence to the actors but watching Lee Jung Joo and Sa Eui Hyun together is about as exciting as watching paint…
That's how I felt too, I had to start skipping Jung Joo and Eui Hyun's scenes b/c they were so utterly boring! I ended up skip watching the latter half of the drama just for Dong Ha's scenes. He truly should have been the lead.
So Dong Ha's character Han Joon didn't even do anything wrong and yet he is basically being punished just as much as his parents - that's so unfair!!! -_- His parents are both in jail for being scum, but he a sweet happy angel left b/c of guilt and shame for what his parents did to the girl he likes brother - works his butt off at a market instead of a prosecutors office and the last time we see him is when he visits his mom in jail for a mere two seconds - the rest of the last half hour episode is left for the leads "romance" really? Maybe I'm the only one who didn't want to see their "romance" but come on - not even showing us what happened to Dong Ha after 2 whole years???!! -_- So irritating.
I didnt enjoy the first episode and almost dropped it but it improved significantly sine then and i now enjoy this unusual drama, especially the humor and brotherhood.
'Putting tattoo by force on women's body is the same as killing her' best line ever coz like... it's really not…
It would be the truth in Korea though b/c they hate scars and also tattoo's represent gangs and bad people over there - so it could definitely be very traumatizing. So it's not the worst comparison when you think about the country it's coming from.
Great article chingu! As you probably know by the feeds, I marathoned all aired episodes a few days ago and I'm loving this tension packed drama and as you wrote in your article it really does capture you more every episode that goes by. ^_^ I hope more people start this drama and enjoy it as much as we do. :D

As for 2007 dramas, my favorites of that year are 'The Devil', 'Time Between Dog and Wolf', and 'New Heart'
