During my noona romance dramas research, this came up on the list. According to wikipedia, here's the synopsis.

"A tough female police officer who suffers from depression falls in love with a young multimillionaire whom she initially believed was a parking attendant. Officer Cha Bong-sun is a peculiar woman who defies the rigid social hierarchy and rails against it. Seo Jae-hee, the millionaire boyfriend, is a peculiar man who falls in love with this quirky police officer. They fall passionately in love with each other. A crazy sort of love."

I watched it because it was 姐弟恋, and the Kim Tak Gu actor was in it. He impressed me a lot with Kim Tak Gu.

Despite being relatively young (He's born 1987 so as long as anyone's younger than me is considered young :P), his acting is convincing to me, especially all the verge of tears scenes! He emote extremely well with his eyes & expressions!


However, I still think casting is still quite important to a drama and I would think this show didn't really prepare for it by casting an actor with such a babyface and it made it hard for him to be a convincing designer/CEO of a luxurious fashion brand label/company with that face. It doesn't help that the rest of the female characters look significantly older than him.

The show started with an impulsive policewoman, Cha Bong Soon protesting outside the Seoul Police Department about not being able to be promoted after several years in-service. Her supervisor apologised to the director and chides her for her temperamental temper. In her appraisal, she was impulsive and has a hot temper and received a lot of complains from either the civilians she interrogated or from co-workers. She was simply hard to get along with. Her supervisor has no choice but to send her for counseling. So she started seeing a weird psychiatrist...

On the other side of the story is Seo Jae Hee... he's this rowdy person who seem jobless & good-for-nothing. He has a few incident with Officer Cha cos she's so self-righteous and arrested him a couple of times but really, he's just being playful.

And then, It looked as if he's interviewing for a carpark attendant job of a luxurious shopping brand/building but his employer seemed to look down on him but he is still hired. But this eye contact with the CEO of the shopping mall totally blew his cover. HE is the actual heir but he believes that in order to take over the business, he will start by the lowest possible rank. So the glamourous lady is mainly his acting CEO who's managing the business for the time being. Nothing has been mentioned about how they're related as yet.

As the shopping mall was within the vicinity of the patrol of Office Cha, Jae Hee & her often bumped into one another and he just keeps messing with her.

I guess the turning point is during one night, after being reprimanded by her boss/peers again, she was sobbing alone in the park, yet she has no friends to call & talk about her troubles. She ended up calling her psychiatrist and confessing to him that she really hated herself, she doesn't like how she is acting and doesn't know why she acts this way etc... And Jae Hee saw all of that... Awww....

The bitchy stepsister is a money grabbing materialistic bitch who's ONLY dream in life is to snag a rich man by pretending to be a rich man's daughter. She first saw Jae Hee as a parking attendant but later saw him in a club meant for socialite and thought he was a fraud but after knowing from her 'rich friends' who he really is, she blamed herself for being stupid and decided to focus her whole attention on Jae Hee knowing that her stepsister, Officer Cha is on close contact with him.

Some plots & development:
  • The acting CEO is actually the younger sister of the weird psychiatrist.
  • The policewoman's junior has a crush on her & trying to get her attention but she isn't one bit interested.
  • Jae Hee seem to be intrigued by this weird woman's antics cos she's 'different' from other girls he met.
  • While Jae Hee was making a police report one day where Bong Soon was the one making the statement, she realised she was older and was mad that Jae Hee always 对他没大没小 awwwww....

I really tried to stay on throughout the end because of Yoon Shi Yoon. Unfortunately, I dropped somewhere at the 3/4 mark simply because the pace was moving tooooooo slowly. And the evil queen bitch is also simply too 贱 & 奸. She's the villain that makes me cringe at every of her appearance, so is the half-step-sister scenes.

I think the plot is too 勉强 already. The female lead as a policewoman wasn't convincing as well. She appears to be kind of a doormat to me to be honest - especially in front of Yoon Shi Yoon's character. She had no idea that he is a chaebol, and he wasn't bred as a chaebol. I only find that it was quite pitiful of her to be (unintentionally) deceived by him time & time again. 未免被骗得太多次了吧？难道不会学乖吗？

It then became draggy with the "I think I love you but I can't be with you" scenario that I had no patience to continue. Those who has watched this to the end, do tell me what happened to everyone.
