K-Drama Reaction: Two Cops

Two Cops Eps 9-10 showed us the not so lovable side of Gong Soo-chang. In earlier episodes, PDnim highlighted his charming points. Though he was introduced as a conman, a clear line was drawn on how Soo-chang does not prey on the weak or the kind to emphasize that he is lesser evil compared to the corrupt officials.

Soo-chang peeled another layer of his character in Episodes 9-10. He showed the audience that no matter how funny he is or how pleasing he is to the eyes, ultimately, he’s still a conman who will deceive those around him.

He fooled the cops, Yong-pal, the Bakery Ahjussis and even Song Ji-an.

Soo-chang also tried to deceive Mr. Park, the human trafficker whom Cha Dong-tak is going after, but he got way ahead of himself and put Ji-an in danger.

The Charming Conman thought he successfully deceived everyone but Mr. Park outsmarted him. Honestly, I got super annoyed with him in this episode. Ji-an trusted him with her life and she ended up being abducted because Soo-chang taught he’s more clever than everyone around him.

I’m scared that in the future Soo-chang will fool both Dong-tak and Ji-an when he’s put in a challenging situation or when it’ll be more beneficial to him.

Tipsy Musings

I find Hyeri super cute in this scene. Soo-chang was testing her if she could pass off as a high school student and it ended up in this hilarious scene.

Are the K-Drama genies trying to build a new couple? Uuuuggghhh, I want to ship Dokgo and Ko Bong-sook but I’m trying not to because it will go against my theory that Hoya is a bad guy. What to do, what to do?

Also, I think the pretty nurse will be Soo-chang’s partner in the end.

Tipsy Findings

One thing I love about K-Dramas is how quickly the actors can change from one character to another. One second you’re a funny and competent prosecutor then bam! You’re a human trafficker.

I know this face is familiar to K-Drama fans. He’s been a constant supporting character in many series. Actor Min Sung-wook entered the TV scene as early as 2006 with the KBS2 show Special Crime Investigation: Murder in the Blue House. In the same year, he also worked as an assistant director in the film Silk Shoes.

I first noticed him as the annoying reporter in the KBS2 rom-com Prime Minister and I starring Lee Beom-soo and Girls’ Generation’s Yoona.

Min Sung-wook took another reporter role as Jang Hyun-Kyu in the 2014 SBS drama Pinocchio.

In 2015, he played as one of the cops in Jang Na-ra‘s team in Hello Monster, also known as I Remember You. (Yeoreobun! This is one of my favorite Korean dramas of all time. If you have the time, do watch it.)
