Comparable to: Love all Play (kdrama) ; Falling into You (cdrama)

Here’s the thing. This is a phenomenal kdrama if you skip the romance in this. Don’t watch the last 15 minutes and this is *chefs kiss* I have no problem with a older/ younger relationship, in fact my parents were 15 years apart, but the way they set the couple in this one just didn’t set right with me. By the time ‘feelings’ started brewing between one or the other they both felt like a father/daughter or brother/sister figure to one another. It was just ick and I love Jung Woo romances damn it. Ugh. Besides the chemistry which was icky, the storyline otherwise was brilliant. Kept me glued to the screen to see if everyone would get their justice. Yes there’s plot holes, yes there’s bits where it’s uneven, but in the end Woo and the entire cast puts on a hella performance which pushes the story forward. Bring tissues, the drama is a roller coaster of emotions.

Ji Hoon’s Born In 1982 (2011)

Genre: Drama

Plot: 

Ji Hoon is a 30-year-old, single man and he still lives with his parents. He dreams of marrying his girlfriend and having an ideal marriage life, with owning a house and car. To make his dream come true, Ji-Hoon struggles to change his current contract employee position into a full-time employee. Also, to make money to buy a house, Ji-Hoon invests 50 million won ($50,000 USD) with his friend, but things go wrong (Asian Wiki)

Cast & Crew:

Heo Jung Min As Kim Ji Hoon

Supporting cast - Choi Yoon So, Yoo Tae Woong, Lee Moon Soo, Ji Dae Han, Kim Seung Wook, Shin Hye Kyung, Kim Ki Doo, Go Gyu Pil. 

Director - Song Hyun Wook

Screen Writer - Seo Yoo Sun

Music:  

The chosen music fit the mood of the drama special. The music in the norebang scene was particularly fun.

Overall: 

Not to be confused with Kim Ji Young: Born in 1982, this drama special is another story about a member of the 880 000 won generation, Kim Ji Hoon. 

I’ve been a fan of Heo Jung Min since I first encountered him in Marriage, Not Dating. He’s a great comedic actor but he also has the abilities to pull on your heartstrings. So, I’ve wanted to watch this drama special for a little while now. Unfortunately it isn’t available with subs anywhere but it was recently added to one of KBS’ youtube channels so I was able to watch it using the autogenerated and translated subs combined with my hella basic Korean it was easy enough to follow. 

Ji Hoon is the picture of resilience, it’s actually kind of inspiring watching him keep getting up despite all the shit that keeps heading his way. Heo Jung Min is believable as Ji Hoon and not just because he too was born in 1982. We see his everyday struggles to be a part of the rat race and try to make it in the workforce and his romantic life. I felt his struggle to get out of bed the most. He made me laugh and he brought me to tears as he said goodbye to his father. 

I think this drama special would be quite relatable to many young people. 

I’d love to watch it with proper subtitles one day. 

Rating: 8/10 Watch it:  KBS 같이삽시다 Youtube (no subs)

Mini-review:

I'm gonna be very honest: I hate football/soccer and, initially, I only wanted to watch this because I adore IU. So, color me surprised, cause I enjoyed it a lot. I should have seen it coming tbh, cause I've always liked this type of inspirational-underdog storylines. Anyway, the characters were engaging, the script was really funny and witty, and the whole cast was great. IU does steal the show, proving that she has a natural knack for fast-paced comedy and one-liners (I swear I'm not being biased here). But all the other actors do an amazing job too! My only real complain is that the movie felt a tad too long, and the final act dragged a bit. But, besides that, I had a lot of fun watching it and I would definitely recommend it!

Dream 

A soccer player that falls out of grace becomes the coach of a group of homeless men training for the Homeless World Cup that will be held in England. Is the over used plot of the underdog, we know what to expect and it doesn’t disappoint.

I liked the film even when it touches in a very superficial way how people see the homeless. Each men has a story of love and struggle and I like to see that the tournament helped them finds out and kept them together as a support system.

I opened Hulu to get back to "Flex X Cop*," but instead I got distracted by "Crash," a Korean series ALSO featuring an outsider joining a team of cops. The odd man out in this case is Cha Yeon Ho (Lee Min Ki), an insurance investigator who crosses paths with the Traffic Crimes Investigation team while checking out suspicious accident settlements. One reluctant partnership and 12 months later, Yeon Ho becomes a police officer through a special recruitment program and joins the team led by Capt. Jung Chae Man (Heo Sung Tae) and Lt. Min So Hee.

The captain struck me as kinda hapless at first, but subsequent episodes have shown some very interesting layers. So Hee, like a lot of characters Kwak Sun Young plays, is rather brash but has a heart of gold. Dong Ki, an auto expert, and Hyun Kyung, the maknae with terrific martial arts skills, round up the gang.

The first several episodes focused on cases of the week but also set up an overarching mystery. You see, Yeon Ho was involved in a crash 10 years ago when he was still in college. He allegedly struck and killed newlyweds. The wife was pregnant. He was grilled by police and immediately labeled as a murderer. He's so guilt ridden that he still visits the wife's ashes at the columbarium even when her own dad, a former cop, tells him he's done enough already. It was very interesting that when they showed the photo of the woman, they never showed the face of her husband. Hmmmm ...

I really enjoy the camaraderie of the team. They might have found Yeon Ho a bit strange (he's become withdrawn since the crash that he's become almost like a robot) but they gave him space to find his footing. My heart absolutely melted when So Hee told him she's teaching him martial arts not to catch the bad guy but so he could defend himself and stop getting hurt so much!

The action sequences are quite fantastic (not a surprise when you have the director from "Taxi Driver"). You have the usual infuriating bad guys who wield their power and connections to get out of heinous crimes, but you also have the desperate people driven to action by the incompetence and ineffectiveness of law enforcement.

There are only a couple of episodes left and I'm already wishing they'd do a second season. Because I can't get enough of this smart and capable Traffic Crimes Investigation team.

*I haven't gone back to watch "Flex X Cop"
