I just found out Oh Jung Se, Heo Sung Tae, and Shin Ha Kyun are starring in an action drama together. That's about…
Wow! I've been waiting for someone to cast Ted Chang and Lee Mubae together again(their characters in Extreme Job- they had insane chemistry). With Heo Seong-tae too- I'm excited!
Seriously, How much they are going to drag this? This is ridiculous at this point. Just one crime upto 16 episodes…
There should be a Vincenzo like ending for the coach minimum(for a minute I though the Baek gang took him down). And I say let the Good Boys put them in jail and then Drugmon can pull her usual camouflage and leave Min Joo-young tied up attached to drugs to kill him painfully. He is supposed to be a smart villain so, putting him in jail is just going end with him creating a new cartel from within...
"Thats a stupid name"😂 Drugmon and Leo are a classic villain duo! Man I wish this was a manga...I'd rather have seen more of them. Just let Drugmon carve up Min Joo-young when all is said and done the justice way, pretty please? Once again- if only this was Good Girl both Han-na and Drugmon looked so metal in the elevator they could easily have taken the building out!
On the other hand, the only villain I really want to see brutally murdered is the coach. I thought Baek's gang did him in but maybe not. Was it a ghost? Nah, I really wanna see him get killed slowly and painfully on screen I hate him so, so much. I wonder if we'll finally see the top boss of the Russians(plz don't say its Min Joo-young). Thinking of whom glad we finally saw the full story but, uh, for all his smarts, Min Joo-young gaslights Leo to kill the cop who was snooping around but he doesn't even search for the watch he had dropped??? Leo swiped the digital camera back then and kept it hidden. And he knows the watch ended up in the Han-na's dads possession because she told him . There lurks danger...since Han-na now has two solid pieces of evidence with her of Min Ju-yeong's direct crime.
Man-sik was so cool during the fight - and then we get to the second half Man-sik... Sometimes theres something discordant with the change in tone. But theres something too funny about Han-na shooting the commissioner. Her supervisor turned out real sweet... I'm still worried who the traitor will be since they killed off the easiest option. On the other hand the most cliche option, that chief hasn't appeared in a while either- better him than the others. But still, cliche.
lol 13 eps in and I literally forgot the plot. please explain me Leo’s story, I don’t have the patience to…
I went back and reviewed Han-na's dad's story last week because I was so confused by what was said about who and what died. They didn't clearly say what the case was once mentioning Oh Dollar died, another time mentioning he was investigating the death of a Russian mafia when he died and I was confused if Oh Dollar was Russian-Korean and Leo's dad who used to own the smuggling operation(as Leo said during his entrance) or something.
Most of the clues were put in as exposition very clunkily or were not read aloud. Some foreshadowed hints were shown on written items(subtitles only translate the heading but apparently the name of the deceased Vladimir(father of Leo) appeared in some of the written items Han-na had before as well). Added to that Han-na was investigating this case solo in the background. Also, Min Jo-young seems to have been using the name of Oh David son of Oh Dollar who migrated to USA "apparently". Its a tale of 4 people(Leo, Min Joo-young, Oh Dollar and Han-na's dad) and combining with the extra info we got yesterday:-
The headline of the file on Han-na's dad's death is he was killed during the investigation into a shootout involving the Russian mafia. He was shot with a russian handgun and the mafia Black Cat were the suspects but the case was closed early as unsolved even though it was a cop killing. He is shown saying on the phone to someone that he did not believe the Russian mafia killed Oh Dollar and vice versa and he bagged a watch from the scene where the killings had happened. He was driving away when Leo shot at the car and caused him to crash. Maybe some things are yet to be revealed. What was shown was that Min Joo-young lied to Leo telling him his dad was killed by Oh Dollar and gave him that Russian handgun to "help him" setting something in motion.
But, we were also shown in Min Joo-young's own flashback that few years after he started working for Oh Dollar, he found out the watch Oh Dollar gave him was a fake and he killed him by beating him to death with the watch. After that he preumably shot Oh Dollar's body with a Russian handgun. And as Sergei tells Leo, Min Joo-young then killed the Russian mafia leader Vlad(who was father of Leo), and shot him with the same Russian handgun(this came up when Han-na was checking the files that the same caliber gun was used in all three deaths including her dads). This part is unclear how he managed to kill a Russian mafia boss.
So it was set up to look like Oh Dollar and the Russians who both ran smuggling rings got into a fight and since Oh Dollar killed their boss Vlad, the Russians killed Oh Dollar. And while Han-na's dad was a part of the case the main cop in charge was someone who had just been transferred to their department and he closed it without any ado because it seemed an obvious fight between two gangs and mainly because the higher-ups put pressure.
Now, this was the year 2008. During the arc when they make the biggest drug bust of the country(when Dong-ju couldn't swim), Jong-hyeon finds out that the current shipping corporation running the whole thing named TAE corporation came into existence in 2008 and its head is the son of the mayor. The mayor who has been in Min Joo-young's pocket presumably since then. The old corporation was Cheon-gil or something. Whose owner did some deliberate defaulting on some finances which led to a case against him but the case was dropped and their company which had been flourishing till then was ruined and got aquired by TAE who then became the huge corp they are now.
Approximately three months ago Leo entered the Korean scene and Min Joo-young's cartel. And this pretty much gives us his whole exposition when massacaring the previous Russian mob branch in Korea. One of them yells at him saying Leo used to be a nobody how dare he(official character description calls him a mid-level boss). And the other he killed tried to plead for his life offering Leo to take over the smuggling ring saying "I had no choice if I wanted to survive..." about his betrayal. Leo responds him taking over should have been a given because the smuggling ring was his fathers. When a teen shoots him in the arm he disarms the kid and tells him to not become like him and do something else with his life and we are shown part of a flashback. This flashback we finally see yesterday. Han-na's dad had disarmed him when he was the same age after helping him from being beaten by other thugs and told him this life didn't suit Leo and he should chose a different life. Which he didn't seeing how he stayed in the mafia with his boss father till the latter's death.
As to why he shot at Han-na's father's car may have to do with Min Joo-young though its not fully stated. Maybe since he was told Oh Dollar killed his father he assumed his own mob brothers had got revenge for his dad and he was taking out the nosy cop who would find that out or that Min Joo-young took Oh Dollar out as a favor or been gsalighted to believe the cop was on Oh Dollar's roll. Han-na's dad was apparently involved in investigating the Russian mafia for quite some time according to report. There may be a blank or I may have missed something. Anyway, after having shot the car to make it stop, Leo walks upto the car window to finish the job only to find out its the detective who had saved him when he was a kid and for whom he felt respect. His shots had already hit and he would have been identified....but he is not shown shooting him. The camera cuts away to him looking distressed seeing who he had shot. The shot after that doesn't show him pulling the trigger behind the window that shatters. So the chance is Min Joo-young will appear in the digital camera recording.
I'm not entirely sure about much of this though because frankly, its too much up to interpretation and hasty exposition and I keep forgetting things.
Oh and also in prev episode Leo killed Sergei in blind rage. He originally came to the pawn shop looking for "those bastrds"(most likely Han-na) and wondered who Sergei was. Presumably since they spoke in Russian Gwang-se only caught Sergei dropping the full name of father and son(nay, it was obvious exposition so that captain can make the deduction those are father and son since only Han-na knows the name of the Russian who had died and the name wouldn't have meant anything to the others). And Sergei tells Leo that the one who had killed his father was the one who gave him his gun all along and Leo lost it. Having found out Leo asks his men to track where Han-na is but they tell him she got in a car but they don't have her location. He is looking through the digital camera where the footage of Han-na's dad's death is. Presumably he finds Han-na's location through her livestream and arrives in time to point the gun at Min Joo-young and gets them into the elevator. Then at some point he gives Han-na the camera and goes off to die.
If only this wasn't good "boy", it would have ended here perfectly with Hanna taking down Min Ju-Yeong with that livecast and Leo and Drugmon killing him brutally off-camera.
Damn, those two are seriously cool villains. They'd have made the perfect villain pair in another series(maybe killing off other worse criminals in their free time). Or if only this was a fullscale manga! Drugmons been the only redeemable of the lot(plus the hints they've left more to her backstory). Hoping she doesn't try dying nobly for Dong-joo or smtg but gets away from the cartel and helps the team take him down.
Leo has gone to die to atone. The camera is his confession...but...this is the second time the scene cut away from him actually shooting through the car window and being seen after it. Did it record Min Ju-yeong coming in the frames and incriminating himself somehow? Her dad had found a watch- because Geum-nam said it was heavier I though it might have had something hidden in it- I guess it is going to turn out to be the evidence proving Ju-yeong killed Oh Dollar ain't it? And then he manipulated Leo into shooting up the one honest cop(who Leo respected) who got near the truth? And he got Drugmon's sister hooked on her candy...he's so AFO. I'm bit confused if each time we go into flashback mode does Leo tell Hanna the story in real time or not. Ngl I absolutely love Hanna's storyline the best. Good Girl!
(And of course Gwang-se and Geum-nam are bestest who deserve to survive and get a lifetime of free food out of the team)
I know he's a criminal and all, but bald chubby dude gives them literally every single one of their leads. They…
And they use him as bait too! He is so funny😂 He should join the pawnshop owner as a information broker when this ends and get food out of them for every intel
I was confused about Drugmon’s flashback. She’s mad at her sister for taking her place while she lived a miserable…
In Drugmon's version of events her sister overheard the staff saying the prospective parents were drug addicts and tells them to take her sister first instead of her. Its her warped version or maybe a projection or such, either she heard the parents say her sister asked for her to be adopted first instead of her or maybe Min Ju-yeong gaslighted her or maybe just what she told herself after a while. Its something resenment about being abandoned because her sister didn't reunite later as promised(parents didn't adopt her too) and her life being hell lot of things got distorted. Of the villain gang shes the only one grey and redeemable and considering Min Ju-yeong will sell her drugs to kids too shes going to go against him soon. Unless he kills her. But maybe she won't die and the team will help her reunite with the sister and she'll learn the truth.
They also made the bald informant, pawnbroker and Sergei too cute and honorary parts of the team. Ko Jun is a vibe of his own(as an aside while Drugmon&Leo's dynamic is Togawice the actors prev roles in Midnight Runners make it weird in the back of my mind...). I adore the anime tone but they could have easily made this into a proper tight 12 episoder if this was all. Plently of shows have handled just one long-drawn case, some where the villains were known from the start and some for 16+ even, but theres too much filler and somethings a bit amiss- editing maybe- in parts.
Do you think the Russian mafia guy is undercover cop? He killed Ha Na’s dad but still visits his grave?? some…
The same thought flashed in mind too. Theres some things that felt odd. And his Mama. Then other things seem to indicate him to be a typical mafia enforcer parallel to the NE's boss Baek and no one goes in that deep(or maybe). That they didn't identify the head of the Russain mafia initially but his official character description calls him mid-level in the Russian mafia(plus he killed the ones running the operation who said he used to leech off them) so he may not be the main leader. If he is not mafia he'll most likely end up dying due to his soft spot for Drugmon(but if he is theres a chance he may betray her coz...mafia) or to atone to Hanna.
He also tells the kid trying to shoot to not make the same mistakes as him and in this flashback someone holds his gun to stop him like the way he disarmed the kid. Its quite likely that in his past as a teenager Hanna's dad stopped him from shooting him and gave him some advice but he went the criminal way anyway. Unless that scene was something similar to Min Ju-yeong's. Han-na knowing some Russian might imply her dad had some knowledge and may have had experience dealing with the mafia and Leo might have respected him for some reason. Maybe dad had saved his life or was hyungnim to him. On the other hand the bottle was called 'Jack the Reaper'.
I'm a bit confused with the order of things about Oh Dollar and Han-na's dad's investigation. I think they said a Russian mafia member also died and her father was investigating it but molstly we hear her father was investigating Oh Dollar who had Russian connections which is confusing. When Leo first appears he wipes out a gang and tells them the distribution operation they were running used to all belong to his father and they were traitors so did his dad die or was just pushed out and he was being a enforcer and took out Oh Dollar and the person who kept digging. The scene where he shoots at the car he seems angry till he realizes who it is he had shot. Han-na's dad was the only one investigating the deaths in depth and didn't buy the simplay conflict with Russian mafia story. Maybe there was something to do with the watch he had with him has evidence. Also Leo seems to not be familiar with Min Ju-yeong but if they both had a connection to Oh Dollar back then and Oh Dollar's death and the elimination of the other smuggling players which benefitted Min Ju-yeong(and the Mayor) thats odd too. Leo might have killed one but not the other or neither.
what does min juyeong even do with all that money?? yes he has cars and probably houses but other than that what??
The money is his reserve. His is extra large explaining just how he could control a whole city. Its mainly for bribing people into his pocket like we see the mayor and chief prosecutor getting cash packages and one previous epidode he sent everyone gold bars. Plus if he is getting the actual limited edition Cristian Diar watches every year for all under his control that would come whopping. Plus when the villain bosses ask him he tells them to trust the money. Basically he needs it to keep his operation running smoothly.
Money controls everyone and where that fails violence is a good leash. He was poor all his life and then gets seduced by Oh Dollar into the criminal world when he was a student and now he has control over everyone and anyone. The luxury cars were mainly swiped from the smuggling operation and on paper he has only has a official modest house somehwere. But he lives in an incomplete towering property which is some sort of develiopment project the other villains are also interested in seeing complete.
Thing is its his tool of control and power rather than just cash for himself otherwise he'd have retired long ago. He has an air of solitary pathos or something like that. Asking Dong-ju being friends, being pissed at the happy family in the car causing road rage,refuting that he does have fun, dating his coworker(though she might be Drug-mon's sister). I'm guessing they'll reveal more of his past eventually.
I hate Im Chul Soo’s character (Chung Gu) so much. Usually he plays quirky, chaotic but morally upright, lovable…
Chung-gu is so annoying and his ruthless pragmatism is kindof scary. Im Chul-soos finally broken free of his typecasting...his villain in MSM had his moments but his roles were being mainly zany comic characters in every drama.
Honestly, I like Mirae and I’m not trying to dismiss her experience but would her case be considered sexual…
Everything matters in context. The whole thing is it's not like she went out of her way to lodge a harassment case against him. She got called by HR and was told off for behaving "unprofessionally" and to conduct herself befitting a public corporation, i.e. told to her face "you are not an innocent party in this incident", i.e. you were having an "affair" with a married dad and she set the record straight as rebuttal that she was harassed by him(there was no other "relation" that it would be an inappropriate affair-like relation). And of course HR being HR, she follows it up is how the first case is lodged in the first place. (Now which person would just sit and take being insulted like that(if nothing had happened at all you defend by saying so) and she didn't even make anything up because he did do something that would be classified in majority workplaces and even universities as textbook harassment(power imbalance is another factor).
An unwanted advance of a sexual nature. Boss called his female junior at night when he was drunk instead of a proper cabbie or a male junior or friend, misreads the air and tries to kiss her. Its not an affair or her trying to have one with him. At this point when it actually happened and she was shocked, she was fully willing to deal with it between themselves personally and go back to normal because she was giving him the benefit of the doubt as he reminded her of her dad. Had he handled things differently after this, she would have put it out of her mind as an honest mistake and been able to move on same as him too even if both cut each other off. But mature handling is the key which is lacking here. He turned the situation abnormal and throws her to the sharks unwarranted and she lets it slip to HR. This first complaint wasn't about a major incident between the two as compared to how far things can go so the complaint in itself be mediated with less penalties than the societally accepatable "serious case of workplace SA". Its not like they sacked him right? It was more serious than a wolf-whistle and slightly below full-blown SA. It was NOT a situation where she approached HR and went- "hi bad sunbae did this to me and now he is being mean I want to retaliate". No, she wouldn't even have filed it if he had done far worse to her becuase she is that type not to and the only reason she did was because she was confronted by HR first.
There would be no legal complaint against him that first time if not for his not handling the situation the way he did. His face saving tactics were what made their relationship seem like a relationship where she was pursuing him to others. No one saw them that night, he should have just been normal about it and kept to being mildly apologetic the next day and have a mature conversation about setting boundaries from now on and tapering off their conspicuous closeness(that mind, he'd created by being friendly to her at the start). Instead he blames and gaslights her about her being inappropriate when she was being normal(he was the one who told her to bring him coffee and the coffee had nothing about being "special friends") and then is the opposite of mature to her face. He let things get to the point it spawned rumors he'd been seduced into an affair with Mirae and his wife(an ex-employee of the same corp) created a scene in their building and thus HR called Mirae to give her, the party in the "wrong"- the single female going after her married boss- a talking to about workplace code of conduct. In fact the scene is cut as if we aren't told what it was that the interviewer told her the topic of the incident report was about and is only implied to be "affair". But for all we've seen of him in ep10, they might've garnered from their prelim interview with SY that she got her signals crossed and not him. And it is what the office thinks that this detestable whistelblower was taking advantage of his kind nature. In any case hes a married man who just had a baby so him liking her "that way" was morally wrong of him first of all(even though its common enough people brush things like this off as par for the course) and what maybe fuelled his guilty-looking overreaction(which it turn reeks of ulterior from the start; and also suspicions if he acted out due to rejection too other than just for face-saving).
Contrast with Hosu's female senior- she so far acted as a proper friend and senior. Miji and Tae-yi. Normal adults would deal with this awkward situation normally. Like say Gyeon-gu hadn't been gay and was Miji's on-off boyfriend. Would he have turned the car around and started beating a drum in their small town about how Mirae led him on but he was only faithful to Miji? Nah, you sort things out. Miji's reaction about forgetting it happened was a wrong way to be dealing with things in the long run but it was a stepping stone that could have been used to make things right by someone who was decent. He likes her? Those who didn't need to know, didn't need to know. In this situation Sang-yeong created a mountain out of a molehill by mishandling things afterwards despite having the opportunity for things to never go that far because he wanted to be ahead in this "game of reputations" i.e. he never believed she'd keep it to herself and was calculating and cold and made himself the victim just in case. To "victim-blame" him, he was the "victim of his own folly".
Now for the second time- which turned into a full blown harassment case reported with the police- he turns up at her house, physically assualts her(her wrist bruise is proof, the way he was shaking and threatening her is legal assault and her sister who defended her is a witness). If there was a cctv somewhere in their building or the guard box it'll show him intimidating her and shaking her. The fact that she was taking a voice recording he deleted it isn't in his favour. Stalking, assault, harassment, etc, etc, etc. And the things he says. "You can do this all you want no one will believe you. This isn't some truth telling game. It's a battle of reputations....No matter what I do, you'll get blamed for everything" Is this an innocent case of guys will be guys?

I think they said a Russian mafia member also died and her father was investigating it but molstly we hear her father was investigating Oh Dollar who had Russian connections which is confusing. When Leo first appears he wipes out a gang and tells them the distribution operation they were running used to all belong to his father and they were traitors so did his dad die or was just pushed out and he was being a enforcer and took out Oh Dollar and the person who kept digging. The scene where he shoots at the car he seems angry till he realizes who it is he had shot. Han-na's dad was the only one investigating the deaths in depth and didn't buy the simplay conflict with Russian mafia story. Maybe there was something to do with the watch he had with him has evidence. Also Leo seems to not be familiar with Min Ju-yeong but if they both had a connection to Oh Dollar back then and Oh Dollar's death and the elimination of the other smuggling players which benefitted Min Ju-yeong(and the Mayor) thats odd too. Leo might have killed one but not the other or neither.
Money controls everyone and where that fails violence is a good leash. He was poor all his life and then gets seduced by Oh Dollar into the criminal world when he was a student and now he has control over everyone and anyone. The luxury cars were mainly swiped from the smuggling operation and on paper he has only has a official modest house somehwere. But he lives in an incomplete towering property which is some sort of develiopment project the other villains are also interested in seeing complete.
Thing is its his tool of control and power rather than just cash for himself otherwise he'd have retired long ago. He has an air of solitary pathos or something like that. Asking Dong-ju being friends, being pissed at the happy family in the car causing road rage,refuting that he does have fun, dating his coworker(though she might be Drug-mon's sister). I'm guessing they'll reveal more of his past eventually.

An unwanted advance of a sexual nature. Boss called his female junior at night when he was drunk instead of a proper cabbie or a male junior or friend, misreads the air and tries to kiss her. Its not an affair or her trying to have one with him. At this point when it actually happened and she was shocked, she was fully willing to deal with it between themselves personally and go back to normal because she was giving him the benefit of the doubt as he reminded her of her dad. Had he handled things differently after this, she would have put it out of her mind as an honest mistake and been able to move on same as him too even if both cut each other off. But mature handling is the key which is lacking here. He turned the situation abnormal and throws her to the sharks unwarranted and she lets it slip to HR. This first complaint wasn't about a major incident between the two as compared to how far things can go so the complaint in itself be mediated with less penalties than the societally accepatable "serious case of workplace SA". Its not like they sacked him right? It was more serious than a wolf-whistle and slightly below full-blown SA. It was NOT a situation where she approached HR and went- "hi bad sunbae did this to me and now he is being mean I want to retaliate". No, she wouldn't even have filed it if he had done far worse to her becuase she is that type not to and the only reason she did was because she was confronted by HR first.
There would be no legal complaint against him that first time if not for his not handling the situation the way he did. His face saving tactics were what made their relationship seem like a relationship where she was pursuing him to others. No one saw them that night, he should have just been normal about it and kept to being mildly apologetic the next day and have a mature conversation about setting boundaries from now on and tapering off their conspicuous closeness(that mind, he'd created by being friendly to her at the start). Instead he blames and gaslights her about her being inappropriate when she was being normal(he was the one who told her to bring him coffee and the coffee had nothing about being "special friends") and then is the opposite of mature to her face. He let things get to the point it spawned rumors he'd been seduced into an affair with Mirae and his wife(an ex-employee of the same corp) created a scene in their building and thus HR called Mirae to give her, the party in the "wrong"- the single female going after her married boss- a talking to about workplace code of conduct. In fact the scene is cut as if we aren't told what it was that the interviewer told her the topic of the incident report was about and is only implied to be "affair". But for all we've seen of him in ep10, they might've garnered from their prelim interview with SY that she got her signals crossed and not him. And it is what the office thinks that this detestable whistelblower was taking advantage of his kind nature. In any case hes a married man who just had a baby so him liking her "that way" was morally wrong of him first of all(even though its common enough people brush things like this off as par for the course) and what maybe fuelled his guilty-looking overreaction(which it turn reeks of ulterior from the start; and also suspicions if he acted out due to rejection too other than just for face-saving).
Contrast with Hosu's female senior- she so far acted as a proper friend and senior. Miji and Tae-yi. Normal adults would deal with this awkward situation normally. Like say Gyeon-gu hadn't been gay and was Miji's on-off boyfriend. Would he have turned the car around and started beating a drum in their small town about how Mirae led him on but he was only faithful to Miji? Nah, you sort things out. Miji's reaction about forgetting it happened was a wrong way to be dealing with things in the long run but it was a stepping stone that could have been used to make things right by someone who was decent. He likes her? Those who didn't need to know, didn't need to know. In this situation Sang-yeong created a mountain out of a molehill by mishandling things afterwards despite having the opportunity for things to never go that far because he wanted to be ahead in this "game of reputations" i.e. he never believed she'd keep it to herself and was calculating and cold and made himself the victim just in case. To "victim-blame" him, he was the "victim of his own folly".
Now for the second time- which turned into a full blown harassment case reported with the police- he turns up at her house, physically assualts her(her wrist bruise is proof, the way he was shaking and threatening her is legal assault and her sister who defended her is a witness). If there was a cctv somewhere in their building or the guard box it'll show him intimidating her and shaking her. The fact that she was taking a voice recording he deleted it isn't in his favour. Stalking, assault, harassment, etc, etc, etc. And the things he says. "You can do this all you want no one will believe you. This isn't some truth telling game. It's a battle of reputations....No matter what I do, you'll get blamed for everything" Is this an innocent case of guys will be guys?
