Two Weeks (2013)

I am writing a review now (2017) in case someone was mislead like me (for those who are hesitating) when i first started this so let me tell you:
- i was recommended this drama , watched half the first episode and then got bored .. went to watch other dramas when i finished what i had , i was told by the same friend that this drama is good .. so i hardly completed the 2nd half of the first ep and the BOOM! ... i was like i must see ep 2 ... and each ep led to the other .......
- the drama was so well written ... i loved the single mom's struggle ... the terrible father (we thought ) he was... the loving and helping fiance of the mother ... and the daughter ( the sick daughter) :/ ... she broke the pieces of my heart ..
- i am a big fan of "romanceless" dramas ... so all my fellows this is our thing although it contains much of a romance but it does not hurt at all.
- you know what i just wrote this to tell you that if u r hesitating JUST DO NOT ... this drama is master piece and it will grow on you day by day :) .

I love how the writer plots the story – it is well written and so much satisfying. The first episode is the most engaging part/ opening for me. I could sense this series - by the first episode - would be entertaining and kick all the good aspects in the most drama I had ever watched. Still, I am all the romantic-comedy fan out there, as a result I did crave more of the romance and I got nowhere. Sigh. The drama’s story would get an A +++ if the pressure between ‘life and death’ did not go down before the final episode. Is it only me or anyone else has the same thought about it?

On the other hand, it turns out to be better when the story puts the romance aside. I love how the writer still gave us a happy ending – cause It would crush our sympathy towards the main character who deserves to be loved a wholeheartedly IF he deads or maybe has brain damage etc etc.

The characters are excellent. They were not wasted along the development of the story. Soe In Hye takes good role in the opening. Park Jae-Kyung is brilliant. Uri Tae San-ie and Soe Su Jin-ie is the center of the drama. The bad guys just live there as they supposed to be in every dramaland, so there is no problem with that except they always make me angry ha!. The chief, detectives are all good at their part to appropriately drive the plot.

The setting is just simple. I see there is no such a thing as overbroad shoot for one single scene which sometimes, at different show, I found it unnecessary. The pressure, the action, the fast-thinker detectives, the emotion are just perfect.

There are more and more heartbreaking moments from this series discovered by Tae-san’s two weeks life changing journey. It was a very pleasant ride albeit feeling thrilled and pain while watching this show. I don't regret anything at all.

My March 2024 Recommendation Challenge

Watch this for my My March 2024 Recommendation Challenge by Heracin. One action drama, about past relationships, family relationship & finally how to mend that. And all of it also wrap with crime & escape. Let's talk drama...

The story talked about Jang Tae San (TS) who lived carefree and a little bit involve in gang activity. One day his ex girlfriend, Seo In Hye (IH), come to his workplace & bring news about his daughter. Turn out TS had daughter with JK & his daughter is sick & need his bone narrow.

Unfortunately for TS, before he can get a grip about his news as a father, another thing happen to his boss in the gang, Moon Il Suk (MS). MS killed someone & decided to put the blame in TS name. One thing let to another, now TS had to flee for his life from MS. And our drama started...

What i like:
+ The cute Seo Soo Jin. Oh this little girls so so cute... Even though we can see how weak she is, but her spirit & cheerfulness really overwhelmed...
+ How they unravel the story of TS & IH little by little. How they fixed the misunderstood between TS & IH. And finally how IH forgive TS in the end.
+ The big difference in TS himself. In the beginning, as I wrote TS is a carefree man. Not carefree in the mean no problem, but more like don't care about the world, cause he need no care about anyone & no one care about him. But in the end we can see how he's as a change man. A man with purpose & someone to protect & care.
+ TS, IH & Im Seung Woo is mature human. No one in the end make a fuss about their relationships.

What i don't too like:
- Why actually MS & Jo Seo Hee want to killed TS is still doesn't makes sense for me. At first ok because of the camera. But later on... A little doesn’t make sense to killed TS.

Overall I quite like it. From the technical & plot wise i give this drama 9.5. But unfortunately from my enjoyment point of view, I give this only 6. So in the end I settled for 8 in total...

OH TWO WEEKS MY ABSOLUTE BELOVED. This show gets me. The action, the fast pacing, the character dynamics, and ofc, LEE JOONGI ACTING HIS HEART OF AS USUAL. This man can not be real I'm obsessed with him. He absolutely shines as this seemingly apathetic former gangster type who is really doing nothing with his life and honestly has zero care for himself like this man is so rough with himself and his body and it really shows just how much he hates himself. But ofc he finds out he has a daughter he never knew he had and for the first time he has actual responsibility in his life. Taesan imagining talking to Soojin when he's at his darkest moments just to find the will to keep going and how she acts as his conscience is really so poignant and it's so easy to root for this complete loser who just wants to save his daughter. And ohhhhh Soojin is so adorable like that girl deserves the world and I love her dynamic with Taesan and just how much she wants her dad its just <33 Also I would die for Jaekyung that complete mess of a woman deserves the world <33 And her dynamic with Taesan is so fun???? Sure, they did kind of make her a bit dumb sometimes but WTV I LOVE HER. Honestly this whole cast was so fun, like yeah the show is 100% ridiculously over the top but idc i ate it up. And when the stakes are this high i think they're allowed to be over the top. However, I did wish that they done more with Inhye's character than to just make her the 'distressed mother type' 24/7, like obviously it was a very real reaction but idk they couldve done more with her poor girl. Her fiance was also another interesting character made to be the more 'black and white' detective type and ohh the drama and angst had me screaming at my screen like ofc I want all these characters just to fill in the blanks, realize each others connections to one another, believe Taesan, and work together but nothings that simple. But despite that, this show was constantly tense and moved so quickly like EVERYTHING kept happening to Taesan that man could not catch a break. Poor guy, but it did make for such a fun watch like the twists and turns in this show are crazy and it always has me wondering what's going to happen next and how in the world Taesan is still alive WHAT A GUY. Idk the plot just kept me invested for every episode and I liked that they left it more open ended but Taesan does deserve the world after all that.

Wajib Nonton

Pendapat Awam!!
Awalnya nonton ini karena nemu rekomendasi dari pencarian drama "bad guys". Drama ini menceritakan tentang seorang pria yang menjadi buronan karena difitnah.

Menurut saya cerita tentang fitnah lalu pembalasan dendam adalah cerita yang dapat memuaskan banyak orang. Jadi dari segi cerita saya memberikan nilai 9. Selain cerita yang menegangkan drama ini juga menyuguhkan kisah mengharukan antara ayah dan anaknya. Pokoknya nonton aja dehhhh

Acting dari pemainnya juga lumayan bagus. Tapi saya sangat suka karakter soo jin, anak itu memainkan perannya dengan sangat baik lucu, ceria, dan manis. Selain itu, perannya sangat membuat drama menegangkan ini menjadi manis. Soo jin ini juga sangat membantu membuat tae san dan in hye mengingat masa lalunya yang manis

Pokoknya kalo kalian bingung mau nonton apa, ya coba dulu nonton ini 👍🙂

Um dos melhores dramas que eu já vi! Esse é o meu primeiro drama com o Lee Joon Gi, e posso dizer que já me apaixonei por ele perdidamente. Porém, eu nunca chorei tanto, tive felicidade estrema assim como passei tanta raiva! Mas vale, muito, muito apena assistir!Eu normalmente não iria chegar do nada e assistir esse drama, pois não tem um conceito muito de dramas normais (mais fofinhos e românticos), mas não me arrependo de assistir. Aborda uma história, meio triste e que faz você ficar nervosa por causa de alguns personagens que você tem vontade de entrar no drama e matar de tão mala sem alça que são. Recomendo muito esse drama, o carisma dos personagens principalmente da garotinha me conquistou. 10/10 Date: 2018-08-26

Great story with a few issues that dont take away from the intelligent writing

This was an expertly plotted show. It was perfectly structured and paced. Both the protagonists and antagonists were intelligent, intriguing characters which made for a very satisfying watch. The flashbacks and character building scenes were integrated into the narrative well, they fleshed everything out without compromising the story's forward momentum. It did bug me how treacly and emotionally uncomplicated the father/daughter reunion was though (she was too perky and precocious, he was too quickly and unambiguously devoted to her), and how cavalierly the 4 year relationship between the mom and the second ML was brushed aside. With just a fraction of the screen time I thought the show handled the consequences of morally compromised parents being separated from their children better with the Chairman Han/long lost assassin son and Congresswoman Jo/disabled son subplots.

il drama è scritto dalla stessa sceneggiatrice di 49 days (e si vede già tanto ) e My Daughter Seo-young insomma, entrambi drama di successo, uno che ho visto e l'altro che voglio assolutamente vedere
Personale: da premettere che questa volta non ci troviamo di fronte ad un drama romantico ma d’affetto verso la propria figlia che lui scopre di averla solo quando lei ha l’età di 5-7 anni (non ricordo esattamente), lui scopre di lei solo quando la sua ex ragazza prova a cercare disperatamente una persona compatibile con la bambina per la trasfusione di midollo, poiché gravemente malata di leucemia, disperatamente, la ragazza, come ultima risorsa cerca umilmente il protagonista, che gli aveva tenuto nascosto il fatto che era padre, confessando tutta la verità, ne passerà tante, ma tanteeeeeeeeeeeeeee… in queste 2 settimane di attesa per il prelievo del midollo lui affronterà tantissime difficoltà ma per salvare sua figlia e farsi perdonare del fatto che non era consapevole che fosse nata la bambina avrebbe fatto questo ed altro….

Típica historia de venganza a la coreana con los mismos tópicos, clichés que cualquier otra, pero con unos añadidos fundamentales como personajes secundarios de relleno que no aportan algo, flashbacks tediosos que alargan los capítulos y provocan un sopor que llega a límites insospechados, historias paralelas cogidas con pinzas que provocan vergüenza ajena, disfraces ridículos que creía sólo se podían ver en las series de época, un último capítulo que da ganas de vomitar nubes de colores y pájaros cantando por doquier y un largo etcétera de estulticias que no viene a cuento comentar.
Pero estos guionistas qué se toman a la hora de pensar el guión, los diálogos, el desarrollo? de verdad se creen lo que escriben?, es que no hay por dónde coger la historia, lo que es evidente es que dejan claro que los policías del país sufren alguna especie de retraso mental que quién sabe, puede que sea alguno de los requisitos para formar parte del cuerpo de seguridad nacional.
Los actores, todos lamentables, sobreactuando, poco creíbles... si acaso salvaría al viejo que ayuda al prota, pero su papel es tan secuandario que no vale la pena ni mentarlo.
Una serie para olvidar, que debería haber durado la mitad de capítulos y con un final digno de un cuento de hadas en el país de la piruleta.
