Young prosecutors form a legal team. They are passionate and obsessive about solving cases and fight injustice, even If they have to go against the higher authorities. They all have different personalities and come from different backgrounds, they are forced to learn how to cooperate and adjust with each other. Han Yul Moo (Baek Jin Hee) comes from a poor family, she thrives to become a prosecutor to solve the case about her murdered brother that led her family to desperation, after meeting the handsome prosecutor Goo Dong Chi (Choi Jin Hyuk) she finds new clues that leads him being a suspect. Now she has to work together with him to prove that he is the one that killed her brother. Goo Dong Chi is an intelligent and righteous prosecutor, and does what he can to help the weak and poor people, how would he react when he finds out that one of his colleagues is trying to gather evidence against a crime he has been involved in 15 years ago?

Where do I start with this one… I fell in love with it in the beginning. I think this has been a great year for Choi Jin Hyuk. The intertwined stories of 3 very different prosecutors and a detective keep you on your toes as they unravel the secrets of each other’s pasts. The passionate performances from the powerhouses like Choi Min Soo and Son Chang Min… whew talk about some great drama actors!
 Even though this show falls into the legal category it doesn’t feel overly legal-ish, and probably most people who like typical Korean romantic dramas would have a good time watching it. Overall I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice far more than I expected, so I would definitely recommend it.

Heartless City Review

Title: Heartless City
AKA: Cruel City / Undercover
Genre: thriller, romance, action, crime
Episodes: 20
Broadcast period: 2013-May-27 to 2013-Aug-30
Cast: Jung Kyung Ho, Nam Gyu Ri, Lee Jae Yoon, Son Chang Min, Kim Yoo Mi, Choi Moo Sung, Yoon Hyun Min, Go Na Eun, Kim Hyo Sun, Jung Soo Young, Jung Ji Soon, Kim Byung Ok, Jung Moon Sung ...

The police infiltrates the mob, the mob infiltrates the police, people take advantage of people, they kill and betray for money, while a few others try to fight them all in hope of truth and justice. Ji Hyung Min (Lee Jae Yoon) and Lee Kyung Mi (Go Na Eun) are two police officers, a couple, in midst of all chaos revolving drugs and killing. They try to hunt down the head of the mob, thinking it is Docter's son, Jung Shi Hyun (Jung Kyung Ho) and old friend of Lee Kyung Mi. Yoon Soo Min (Nam Gyu Ri) is the younger sister of Lee Kyung Mi and ends up falling in love with Shi Hyun, not knowing his real identity. Will she choose love or revenge? Or will she even have the choice . . .

This drama is so crazy, first of all, all those undercover agents, its like the police consists of the mob and the mob consists of the police, okay exaggeration but yeah that's the feeling. And oooooh my God, Jung Kyung Ho (Smile, you) I had not expected this role to fit him like this, he did a great job, though he did have the same face expression a lot, this role suits him. The story was good, nice, and I like the way it turned out, but I wished for a tiiiiiiny bit of more romance, it stayed a bit in the background, but it was still there. There was friendships and such as well (me like) and a lot of times there were some huge twists that would make your jaw drop. And so many times I would say about the characters "I hate this guy" then later "ok nevermind I like him" hahah.. also all those people working with drugs, we didnt really see a whole bunch of people take drugs but we did see consecuenses of drugs, which was actually cool, but I'm guessing it's because of the broadcast station. Anyway, I recommend this drama! I enjoyed it! it's a cool police-mob drama.
