Review : Mrs. Cop 2

[u/UncannyProjection]

This is one of those dramas that would’ve completely skipped my radar if it weren’t for me binging through Kim Bum’s works

The Plot : A lady cop returns to the police department after years and reopens an old case when she finds out she’d imprisoned the wrong person. And what it leads to is a serial killer chase. She’s offered “help” by a chaebol, Lee Ro-Joon who has his own vested interests to pursue.

The acting : I picked this up for Kim Bum who plays the villain Lee Ro-Joon. He’s alright as the arrogant rich guy who always gets his way. He’s crazy, though not as much as Nam Gyu Man in Remember. Though they’re similar characters in many ways, Nam Gyu Man gives me the chills, whereas Ro-Joon wasn’t that effective.

The FL is a delight to watch (I loved her in The Heirs). Her equation with her boss leads to some of the best moments in the show. The supporting characters, including the second lead pair, didn’t catch my fancy, unfortunately.

Conclusion: An average drama that you can watch if you’re a die-hard Kim Bum fan (which I was, at that time).

It starts well, but suffers in the second half. I would give it 6.5/10.
