I misteri del café Minamdang (2022)

Female lead is annoying, but get's better. Also, she never turns into a damsel

Drama had a lot of potential, but the writers didn't put much thought into articulating the story line.

Major issues with the female lead character, her tsundere trope fell flat, and annoying. Constant nosiness, bashing, and stalking the male lead became overbearing. It was neither funny, nor cute, her character was outright horrendous.
The age difference between the male lead and female is never explained, which is ridiculous. Considering in a flashback, she is a middle schooler and he's in police uniform, it' s mindbogglingly they think no one would give it an afterthought.
The Idea of Café Minamdang is interesting. The gang has great chemistry, and the plot should've been revolved around them. The acting is superb, from everyone. The female character is being bashed, but Its not her that's the problem, it's the writer who wrote her that way. I'm so grateful they never turned her into a damsel in distress.
The romance is forced, because Kdramas unnecessarily add romance because of their obsessions with it.
The music is fabulous. I haven't missed the entrance once because It's that good.
The re-watch value depends on how much of a fan you are of Seo In Guk.

Wild and Wacky

Cafe Minamdang is a silly but good-natured romp that positions itself within the tradition of slapstick buddy cop procedurals while conducting an uneasy dalliance with the serious side of criminal profiling. It’s no marriage made in heaven as the ensemble hunt down an elusive serial killer who seems to be connected with the upper echelons of South Korean society. Indeed how does one successfully reconcile the comedic with the more serious elements? Not easily and the mixed results speak for themselves. Seo In-guk who plays former forensic profiler Nam Han-jun turned consulting shaman gets to display his comedic talents with shameless glee as he robs from the rich while trying to solve crimes with his partners-in-crime, Kong Su-cheol (Kwak Shi-yang) and sister Nam Hye-ju using their individual skill sets. Han-ju is reduced to grifting as a shaman in his popular cafe using his mentalist abilities because he was wrongly convicted for fabricating evidence in the aftermath of the murder of his bestie the late Prosecutor Han Jae-jeong. After serving time, Han-jun is determined to track down the killer while amassing resources earned through the cafe. It doesn’t take long before he starts to cross swords with Jae-jeong’s younger sister, Jae-hui (Oh Yeon-seo) who despite her rank is really a third-rate detective who is investigates using her unreliable gut and is prone to emotional outbursts. In fact her entire team comprises of a rag tag of ne’er do wells that often have their rear ends handed to them by the unofficial sleuths from Cafe Minamdang (the front for Han-jun and Co.’s real agenda). Jae-hui misunderstands the flamboyant Han-jun but he prefers it that way especially when he doesn’t know who she is.

Like many South Korean dramas of its type, the show mercilessly mocks the wealthy and the powerful not just for their avarice and flagrant disregard for the rules which are only for the plebs. It even manages to poke fun of wealthy parents with more dollars than sense in an unexpected foray into nature vs nurture territory on top of everything else the show crams in. Furthermore materialism is a scourge of society that afflicts the religious as represented in a character like Auntie Im and the irreligious for whom religion is a tool to gain power. Han-jun maybe an egotistical religious huckster to the more discerning but his razor sharp observation skills and ability to think on his feet sees him often in service with the angels until he is strapped for cash.

The 18 episode format is an overkill. This is a story that could have easily been told in 12 episodes but for the unnecessary insertion of romance which frankly adds nothing to the storytelling or character development. That said Seo In-guk is adorable even in his more pubescent outbursts. It is his onscreen charm that carries the romance as much as it is possible. The drama however is not enhanced by it or by Jae-hui’s presence. Her antics are particularly hard to watch in the first half as she’s bumbling around at playing detective, getting in his way and basically being a hinderance to actual investigative work done by the unofficial sleuths who have inserted themselves into an investigation illegally. It is something of a running gag that the police are so incompetent at the start, a situation made worse by Jae-hui’s lack of professionalism as she stubbornly sets her sights on a single line of inquiry in the early episodes. Her tendency to be overly emotional (there are good reasons why cops aren’t allowed to investigate cases involving family members) and freakishly violent is undoubtedly written to be a point of humour but comes across much more as annoyance for at least half the show. She’s in it to put the breaks on the real investigation and her violent spurts directed towards Han-jun don’t reflect particularly well on her.

18 episodes is also rather too long for a show primarily concerned with uncovering the identity of a mysterious serial killer especially when it is fairly obvious to the audience who that individual is quite early on. While there are no lack of red-herrings and false trails to lead the show’s investigators off the beaten track for the show’s most scary bad guy, there is no lack of real villany on offer whether they be chaebol heirs, corrupt politicians and supposedly real shamans who abuse their power.

It also takes far too long time for the two sides to start working together even though it’s always fun to have a giggle at official detectives’ expense. But when they finally do collaborate, things move far more smoothly for all concerned, expediting proper detective work.

Last but not least, the humour, which is perhaps the most important consideration of all, is an acquired taste. It’s over-the-top, slapstick and unabashedly wacky but it still manages to get laughs out of an old stodgy type like myself. Seo In-guk and Kwak Shi-yang are particularly ridiculously hilarious especially when one considers what they they are willing to do to create these larger-than-life caricatures. Even in my more doubtful moments I laboured under the belief that since I survived Vincenzo I could survive this which I did… and even enjoyed much of it.

It’s not a great show by any stretch of the imagination (although it could have been if it had been leaner and tighter) and the flaws are plain to see from the start. As far as the whodunit side of things are concerned, it does nothing spectacular or novel. But when Nam Han-jun flicks his folding fan and turns on his crazy shaman shtick, it’s almost a guarantee that we’re in for a wild and raucous ride.

café minamdang's main charm is inguk so if you're not a fan, you'll hate it. dislike it at most

let me get this out of the way before i take the longest breath: im gonna miss the minamdang squad terribly ㅠㅠ

(starting w negatives first, who cares)

- the whole process of catching gopuri was coming along smoothly, as in, in a way that was fun yet kept me up on my toes but my interest dwindled a bit when they started delving into the romantic relationships and the politics. i can let hyejun & sucheol be but hanjun and jaehui's romance is where i feel the itch. i dont think they needed to be romantically involved at all. i would've loved them as just two people who had a special bond with each other bc of the binding link bw them: jaejeong. they could've slayed so much more as partners in crime too but instead i had to sit here seeing poor inguk and yeonseo trying their hardest to make it work. rip you guys were amazing tho! the politics bits was annoying bc they were just. speaking words. saying things that made no freaking sense

- hanjun's brilliance. can we talk about it? my most favourite part about watching the show was experiencing inguk play the hottest shaman ever with his witty thinking and profiling skills.. i dont think there are many main characters i can say w confidence i love for their smartness but nam hanjun, yes. the way his brain worked alongside gopuri's and HE (as in, hanjun) was the main reason the stupid fucking police were even able to catch that bastard was just so hot and satisfying, god. him not being overtly narcissistic (not seriously) and a dorky shit PLUS smart as hell just adds to his sexiness btw

- cha dowon. he played a good fucking villain, ill give him that. it almost makes me sad that i didn't know soohyun's existence before minamdang bc the acting!!!!!!! it was phenomenal. especially after we figure out his identity, everything he says and does is just donned with such brilliant creepiness, i love it. was a character i found annoying at first but after finding out he was a psychopath and a brainwashed one at that, his past and god complex and obsession with evolving justice, my curiosity and attraction to sexy-guy-who-plays-psychopath upped him to #2. #notsorry

- jaehui.... ahhhhh it was not her fault that the character was written poorly and given no space to be enraged and hurt for everything she went through aside from the occasional one scene. i said it. the writers were afraid of a female lead being actually mad as hell and paid her dust trying to subside her down to lawful and violent to cover up for their cowardice ??‍♀️ wasted potential

- the police team: aka losers— corny as hell. no need for them to be even there at all. go die or sumn; minamdang squad: nadan, i have the adoption papers ready and sucheol-ah.... can you fight? bc im abt to steal ur gf

overall i loved it (if i just dont think abt the 11-15 episodes) and with how cutely and w possibilities it ended, i wouldnt mind there being more of hanjun&co solving murder mysteries for the next decade or so consistently :p ah im gna really miss them ?

I watched it because my friend suggested it. Starting it was gripping and comedy timings are good, they hit the point. But, they don't need 18 episodes. At the end I was soo bored and from the starting I knew who was the villain. When they show plot twist I was like is there any need for this, I was soo bored in the end. But I enjoyed the starting and everything was good until last episodes so I'm giving it good review.

Funny, until it's not

I came for Seo In Guk. He is a terrific actor, and this role let him use facial muscles that are normally reserved only for the strangest expressions. There was an abundance of quirkiness and fun in this show, especially with the Cafe Minamdang employees. I appreciated how the writers gave us insight to how the Cafe came into being. Watching him bounce and dance around, chanting nonsense chants, and then surprising everyone with him being spot on was fun to watch.

Where it kind of fell apart for me was the overabundant number of characters to keep straight. They threw names around right and left, so many of them like the others, I spent a lot of time wondering who the heck they were talking about. I was surprised at how quickly the show went from light and fun to dark and sordid. The seamy underbelly of the police force and government officials, that's a cliche that gets used too much for my taste.

I also had a problem with the age difference between a few of the characters, only because it made absolutely no sense and wasn't believable.

Without giving anything away, there was one character that I was hoping beyond all hope that they wouldn't take him in a certain direction. When they did, though, I was glad because it made more sense. But it came so close to the end of the show it seemed like it was tacked on at the last minute.

I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but there should not have been a romance between the main couple. There was no chemistry, it wasn't believable, and I focused on the secondary couple.

The OST was wonderful.

I won't watch this again, because I didn't find it interesting enough, and the main couple was so bland.

I'm not going to say don't watch it. You'll be thoroughly entertained in the first few episodes, but as for the rest, I just really felt like there was something missing.

I don't know why people are saying so many bad things about this drama

People usually starts a k-drama thinking it'll be a north-american series, but it's much better than that.
Plotlines, story, characters, OST, everything is SO PERFECT about this drama.
Sometimes, I remembered of Vincenzo because of some things (the fake shaman thing and the songs)
But what the heck is the Auntie Im age problem?
Excluding this, the drama is beyond all things I was expecting. The best since Vincenzo.
Seo In Guk it's now, my favie Korean actor, just by the side of Song Joon-ki and Taecyeon. The female lead (I can't remember actress name) is the most wonderful and funny, her plot is so aaaaaa
I can't say what I loved the most

Give Café Minamdang more Love!

I have put great "Hits" on ice after watching 1 or 2 episodes.And there are still in my On Hold List.I thought the same would happen with Café Minamdang.So many bad reviews.So many bad ratings.I admit i was too hesitant to start it.I usually trust my instincts(not only about watching Dramas,lol)and i though is better to waste one hour of my life and watch the first episode rather than rejecting it without giving it any chance.Main reason -i can't lie-was Seo In Guk.Although i usually don't follow his work as he participates mostly in series with heavy romance ,and i try my best to avoid the genre!
But i know he is a very good actor.He was brilliant in Hello Monster.A role of a Shaman here!Yes why not?
So i hit "play" and i was lost in this crazy squad's world.I didn't even realize when the first episode ended.And i already knew it.I was falling shameless!

First let's talk about all the great things this Drama has.

Music:i can guarantee it.You will instantly fall for all the OSTs,music themes and every single note plays here.
My two favorite are Stay Awake & Endless Night.(though Ghost Buster is very funny so check it out too!)

Production /Direction/Cinematography:Feel safe.Everything is well made.The quality is Top.
Special credits to Costume Team for the amazing.colorful and fashionable suits the ML wears!

Cast/Acting: Everyone delivered the feelings and vibes of his/her role to maximum.Seo In Guk's role has both comedic and emotional parts and once again he was amazing.His facial expressions and the body language took over the speaking part of his role.He would deliver every emotion even if the role was without lines!

Characters:

The Dynamic Trio:
Nam Han Joon,ML:A conman a fake Shaman ex criminal profiler .Super Smart a sweet talker,super sexy.He has his own agenda and his own motives.He is a man in pain fighting for justice.--No spoilers needed--

Gong Soo Cheol, a private detective:Ml's best friend working together.Partners in scamming!A giant bear kicking asses,also saving Ml's ass numerous times!He is sweet,naive and with a golden heart.He is hilarious as well.

Nam Hye Joon,ML's younger sister.Super smart too(is in the genes!LOL)An elite hacker,the team i bet can't survive without her.Funny and colorful character.With colorful hair!

Han Jae Hee,The Detective:Stubborn,hot headead.Annoying as hell most of the time.Another char with a hidden agenda and secrets.Badass.she loves giving punches!Kicks asses better than men.

---Side Note related to the Female Lead---

Judging by most of the reviews almost all have problems with this character.Many -said-dropped the drama cause of her,which is really sad but respected.

It seems that the Annoying Female Lead char,is the necessary "evil" in most Kdramas.Writers should finally listen to the viewers and change the bad habit of creating annoying female chars who shouts instead of speaking and acting hysterically at any time.This is not attractive.It doesnt give depth to the character and we have enough of this old fashioned trope.
We need more down to earth female chars.Realisic female roles.Women can be strong and smart.Can debate and argue in the most civil way without need to raise their voice and act like "kittens".
Unfortunately the annoying type is the rule and not the exception.Writers WAKE UP!You,yourselves ruins your own scripts.
Where can i file an official complain?Lol!
---End of Side Note---

Story/Plot:

Ok,let me start by saying.Please check the Genre.Says Mystery & Comedy.
For me firstly this Drama is a well written Comedy.A Series with endless fun,hilarious moments and funny characters.
Read my Lips(just saying!)CO-ME-DY!This Drama is the definition of this Greek word.My language!So don't be mistaken.Noone fools you here.If you decide to watch this prepare yourself for many silly moments.
To make it more juicy the writer decided to add Mystery too.And the dose of mystery is sufficient to tie the fun and the serious part in a nicely done blend which can satisfy both comedy and mystery lovers.
Definitely it has NOT the gravity of a good and solid Crime/Mystery Drama as is more based on the fun element.And in my opinion that is the reason for the many bad reviews.Because viewers expected a flawless crime drama so most they are disturbed about not finding this here.I totally respect this.Is everyone's choice to hate or love it.I chose to love it because i had so much fun.I loved all the characters,even the annoying female detective.If you give this a chance i bet you will laugh 9 out of 10 scenes.After all that is the purpose of a comedy.
Also many said the romance here was forced and unnecessary.Not true.And take this from someone who always looking for the minimum romance when i search series and i get blisters with the idea of any cheesy romantic story!
Both primary and secondary couple's love story was light, funny and cute and added the right dose of fluffiness'.

Something else i really liked was the "epilogue" at the end of each episode.Was always the more serious part of the story.A concentrated review /explanation of what we saw.That was a very fine touch to me which added more credits to the Drama.

Ofc iam not blind not to see all the flaws and negatives Cafe also has.The time line is not the best,It can be confusing.Plot holes?Yes of course there are.I have my objections too over few things about the story.
The never-aged Shaman Lady and the "who is older/younger than whom" was silly enough.I know!(you will understand if you watch what i mean)
But all these weren't enough to make me hate this Drama.Flaws exists even in masterpieces.
I watched this non-stop.Never hesitated to hit the next episode button.I didn't put in "on hold"I had fun i laughed A LOT.I trully enjoyed it.
I admired Seo In Guk's versatility.That was a different role to see him in and iam glad i chose Cafe.
So my last thought is...

Give it some ❤ It deserves it!

A Scam Artist, A Detective and An Ever-growing Train Wreck Walk Into ‘Café Minamdang’…

On reflection, ‘Café Minamdang’ had a lot of potential to be a good series . Its plot, setup and casting choices seemed to suggest that it was going to be somewhat avant-garde but enjoyable as well as creating potential for some likeable characters along the way for audiences also. However, there are times where reality can be very disappointing. Sadly the eighteen -episode KBS2- Netflix series rarely hit the mark and instead created a show with some very mixed results for the audience.

As suggested previously, this isn’t to say that the concept of the show was bad from the outset. It is important to acknowledge that the screenplay was adapted from “ Minamdang: Case Note”; a fairly successful novel by writer Jung Jae-ha. In charge of adapting Jung’s novel to the small screen were Screenwriter Park Hye Jin and Director Go Jae Hyun. ( Viewers will likely know these familiar names from productions such as ‘ The Emperor: Owner Of The Mask’ , ‘Smoking Gun’, as well as ‘ Black’ and ‘ Dinner Mate’ respectively.)

The narrative of the series predominantly focuses upon scam-artist and former-criminal profiler, Nam Han-joon (Seo In-Guk- ‘Reply 1997’, ‘ High School King Of Savvy’ and ‘ Doom At Your Service’). Pretending to be a shaman at his main base of operation, Café Minamdang, Han-Joon’s talents for decoding body language and micro -expressions has given him the ability to swindle people out of pocket easily and without causing suspicion. Especially thanks to the expertise of his little sister and hacker Nam Hye-joon (Kang Mi-Na- ‘ Dokgo Rewind’, ‘ Hotel del Luna’ and ‘ Moonshine’).

However after snooping around in a hit-and-run incident involving the husband of one of his clients, Han-Joon becomes acquainted with Detective Han Jae-Hee (Oh Yeon-Seo- ‘ My Husband Got A Family’, ‘ Love With Flaws’ and ‘ Mad For Each Other’). Developing a small crush on the investigator, Nam Han-Joon begins to play a cat-and-mouse game with Han-Jae-Hee, leading to many unforeseen consequences for both the detective and the scam -artist .

A lot of viewers have understandably remained divided with one major component of ‘ Café Minamdang’ among many others; its tone and mood. Of course, it isn’t unusual for a show to want to offer leverage between tense and melodramatic moments with more lighthearted or easygoing scenes. However what was noticeable for audiences with regards to Park Hye Jin’s writing, came through some of these underlying moods feelings overly inappropriate at times. To explain this in more depth, ‘ Café Minamdang’ did have its darker and tense moments which while exciting were often heavily overshadowed by strained attempts to offer " comic relief"; even when discussing serious or grave matters or when it didn’t always feel necessary to a moment of scene. However while while forms of comic relief can sometimes work well in this scenario, ‘ Café Minamdang’ often heavily relied on a physical and wacky form of comedy ; commonly found in Korean dramas and productions. Naturally, it isn’t necessarily that this comic relief was bad per say. However, it never seemed to truly flow well against some of the subject matters tackled.

As for the acting and casting choices of the series, Seo-In-Guk’s performance as the main lead is fairly solid here. Although it is fair to say that his onscreen character will either be loved or hated by viewers of equal measure .
Nam Han-Joon was an interesting male lead in his own right. scam artist with a particularly unconventional method of scamming people out of pocket, the male lead had a lot of intriguing elements to his character from the outset. However, where writing issues did become noticeable can often be said to be found through his overall character-arc.

Throughout the course of ‘ Café Minamdang’, there were few and far moments between where viewers truly got to see Nam Han Joon be held accountable for his self-absorbed personality or feel conflicted with his past and current actions. Later episodes admittedly did offer some justification for his current-self and vulnerabilities through his backstory but even then this often somewhat rough around the edges. Instead, a lot of the male lead’s personality traits were often played out for laughs and were rarely interspersed with opportunities for viewers to understand a lot more about Han-Joon.

Similarly, Oh Yeon Seo delivered a decent performance as Seo In Guk’s onscreen counterpart and female lead Han Jae-Hee. Oh Yeon Seo’s performance is admittedly a little wooden at times but this wasn’t entirely the fault of the actress per say. Instead a lot of the blame can probably be put on the writing decisions for the female lead.

Similar to male lead Nam Han-Joon, Han Jae-Hee had a lot of potential to be an intriguing character in her own right. ( Especially as someone involved in a particularly astute field of work such as crime investigation and the male lead’s initial advisory.) However, instead of the female lead having her own moments in the spotlight to be explored as a complex character with her own motivations and flaws, Jae-Hee was often subjugated to the role of being overly fractious, whiney and frivolous character; rarely changing, being explored beyond her surface level or being developed even into later episodes of the series.

In addition to the main characters of ‘ Café Minamdang’, it’s hard not to acknowledge some of the reoccurring side character also. In particular, there should be a special shout-out given to actress Kang Mi-Na. Although her onscreen persona was rarely given her moments to shine in later episodes, the actress delivered a surprisingly charming and lively edge to Nam Hye-Joon.

Acting aside, it is hard to forget one of the show’s most bizarre elements; the superhuman-like abilities of some of the main characters, especially in early episodes of the series. Admittedly, ‘ Café Minamdang’ was never truly aiming for hyper-realism with its setup and premise. However it still seemed inexplicable in a mystery-comedy series to see some of its main characters being able to suddenly run at breakneck speeds and scale buildings without any hassle. Perhaps the show was aiming to play this off for some parodical moments but instead, this often led to some slightly head scratching moments without enough context being given.

One of the major points of intrigue for ‘ Café Minamdang’ came through its crucial plot point of the “cat-and-mouse game” between detective and scam artist. Although there were moments which could be fairly entertaining, it still often seemed that the screenplay’s attempts to build up this “ hype” took a lot longer than expected. While the first few episodes of ‘ Café Minamdang’ did require for some necessary spoon-feeding for viewers towards establishing the identity of main characters as well as the main plot-arc, the tedious duration of episodes at times in addition to some unnecessary plot points could’ve been avoided with harsher writing decisions and editing. ( For example rather than attempting to pad out episodes with a surplus amount of comic relief or unnecessary subplots, the series could’ve used the time in-between to develop characters, intensify the mystery element of the storyline and heighten relationships between characters as well as using these writing points, as a tool for improving the continuity of the narrative in later episodes.) As a result, the final part of the series felt somewhat underdeveloped and lacked a satisfactory feeling of completion for many viewers.

Stylistically and under the directing leadership of Go Jae Hyun, ‘ Café Minamdang’ was fairly conventional for a Korean drama. The quality of filming was decent enough and while there were certainly a few nice moments of cinematography ( especially with contrasting palette schemes such as with natural and vivid hues ) , perhaps it is fair to say that there were was nothing particularly standout with regards to the stylistic approach either. (Perhaps it didn’t help that even for the slightly theatrical and fabricated worlds of K-dramas, the settings and set designs for ‘ Café Minamdang’ felt a bit counterfeit as they rarely felt "lived-in" by the characters.)

Certainly one of the few major and surprising highlights of the series came through its OST. ‘ Café Minamdang’ offered viewers with a surprising array of genres from the surprisingly catchy rap track “ Ghost Buster” by Jo Gwang-il and the beguiling alternative pop song “ Stay Awake” by Nam Young-joo though there were some tracks on the OST which were a little unremarkable also.

‘ Café Minamdang’ started off on a potential high note with an intriguing setup, an impressive cast and characters. Seo In Guk and Kang Mi Na delivered fairly consistent performances but even they couldn’t save the series from crashing and burning as it ran its course. Despite a talented cast and some entertaining moments here and there, ‘ Cafe Minamdang’ felt greatly overshadowed by its flaws ( especially narrative execution and character writing) rather than its strengths.

THE PLOT ! THE MYSTERY ! THE THRILLER ! THE COMEDY ! THE SEO INGUK!

It has the best mystery and suspense with perfect amount of humour, as it goes seo inguk never disappoints! from the pilot episode till the end i never felt bored of a single scene. the story starts from the get go with the yonhae dong wonder shaman solving mystery in his swag style and till the end seo inguk keeps the same aura. he was really no doubt the backbone of the drama however we really need to give kudos to rest of the cast too ! especially Oh Yeonseo I have indeed scene many people finding her character annoying but that was the point! the essence of her character she is supposed to be annoying at first so that we can get the satisfaction when her character develops. plus I really fell head over heels from the acting of soohyun the way he pulled of prosecutor cha's character you can't help but fall in love. I really need to mention that not a single scene is shippable I really really enjoyed the drama. I will surely recommend

Drastic tone shifts, 10 filler episodes,useless FL

The male lead went all out in his role as the shaman and his 'siblings' completed the idiotic trio scamming their clients. I would have absolutely loved 18 episodes of just their shenanigans with occasional disputes with the local police. But the police really is what dragged everything down in every way. Absolutely incompetent female lead who besides a punch here and there never accomplishes anything let alone makes new discoveries regarding their investigations 3-4 business days after the Café crew.
While I do love a good side dish of romance the two couples we get have the most anticlimactic development and get more and more obnoxious as time goes on.

-slightest spoiler-
one of the final scenes of them talking in baby voices, worrying about each other as there is a serial killer currently on the lose really showcases the whack genre clash. macabre humor is up my alley but this was just cringy.
-spoiler end-

Anyways...giving this an okay rating just cause I could see the potential, Male lead was so unhinged at times that I couldn't help but love him oh and the last 3 episodes when they seemingly remembered the plot hadn't progressed whatsoever they wrapped it up pretty nicely.

Really good but a little lame

I like the cast that was selected the only problem that I have is that the male female lead is Oh Yeon-Seo. For some reason I have not liked her since I saw Korean Odyssey and I love Korean Odyssey I wish there was a second season. In Cafe Minamdang the character she play really pisses me off she’s so selfish and only see things one-sided she don’t look at the full picture and never takes the blame when she is wrong another thing is the prosecutor that’s in the show he kind of throws me off because when Choi Young-Seop was killed in the hospital room by Gopuri she and Nam Han Joon left to go chase after him and when they got back to Choi Young Seop room the prosecutor was gone where the hell was he? second she couldn’t stop the injection from going in the IV she seen how Choi was scared see she could’ve stopped it. She could’ve stopped him from leaving the room. Finally Nam Han Joon why does he keep getting beat up by her we all know he’s a good martial artist from the first episode but somehow he just keep on getting his ass beat that pisses me off I wanna actually see him go full out in a fight and win.
Update: I really hate the female lead omfg she she’s so annoying this is why I try to avoid watching anything that has her in it.
Update #2: I knew Cha Do Won the prosecutor was suspicious. I’m on ep 16 now I can’t wait to finish and write my last review of this.
