It sound better if it were 'Mr. Green, Top Carriage'.
Speaking of sound, This show has to have the worst music I've ever heard - and it's only episode 1. That is Korean they're singing in, is it? Sounds more like Russian...
I have to admit, the beginning, though not entirely original, was at least intriguing. And it's not hard to pick out the bad guys right away, either. The Evil Girl looks like an evil girl, and Bad-Haircut Boy looks bad - and like a pinhead, with that haircut... Of course, he's being abused by an equally bad father, played by Su In's step dad from TRH - albeit with grey hair. Then, there's the infamous Na Bora...The less said about her, the better...
But, since the good guy gets chucked off a building 10 days before the flashback, how are they going to sustain the story? Do I smell a long-lost twin brother? Or a double? Or a clone? Or a zombie?
This show might be interesting, given the rather different opening episode. But I'm not impressed by the women - except Na Bora... _________________ "The present situation is to be regarded as one of opportunity for us, and not disaster"

For some reason, I’m having a REAL hard time getting into this one.
The best I can tell (so far, I still don’t know the character names) we’ve got the typical Dictatorial CEO/Father, with his two half-brother sons. Nice Guy Half-Brother is a technical genius, and is crazy in love with a girl who is equally crazy in love with him. Loser Half-Brother is a paper-pusher, with huge gambling debts, who is crazy in love with his Nice Guy Half-Brother’s girlfriend (though she just seems to consider him an “oppa”).
Nice Guy Half-Brother is quitting work at his dad’s place to work for his mother (who seems to be a business rival to his father). Loser Half-Brother is filled with jealousy towards Nice Guy Half-Brother (over both his woman, as well as his career success) though naïve Nice Guy Half-Brother doesn’t seem to sense this.
The mystery, so far, is did Loser Half-Brother have something to do with Nice Guy Half-Brother’s death (which, as we already know, happens in ten days . . .)?
I don’t know yet if I’ll stick this one out, but I’ll give it some time. |

Maybe you and I do have the Male Chauvinist Pig thing going, but yes, it does help a lot when a show features a cute, personable female character in a lead role . . . and this show doesn’t have one. This one seems instead to be aimed at the female audience (the nice, good-looking cute guy, vs. the hairy, studly tough guy). Yawn.
Today’s episode: odd how, in Korea, prosecutors can grill you for hours on end without having an attorney present. Put those prosecutors in military uniforms, and you’d think this was a scene from North Korea.
Sure, don’t tell the old woman that Nice Guy’s been taken away by the fuzz, because of her “weak heart.” Gotta make sure that the only person who might really help out is kept in the dark.
Looks like Nice Guy croaks next week. Oh well.
Nope, this one isn’t doing it for me, either. |

Nice Guy goes into convulsions as the Russian dance music goes 'round and 'round in his head...I don't blame him.
"Marry me, or pay the rent!" says Snidely Whiplash. And poor Nell, to save her wicked step-mother, and wicked step-sister, sacrifices her virtue to Bad Boy (who needs to grow a handlebar moustache to twirl). Okay, when do we have a railroad track tying?
This show would really work if Nice Guy were to come back as a masked avenger, superhero type, who destroys his enemies and reclaims his woman, but then rejects her because Bad Boy has already despoiled her. Wendy could don a blond wig and become his side-kick, Niceguy's Girl. _________________ "The present situation is to be regarded as one of opportunity for us, and not disaster"
