Crime Squad was the most recent crime drama I watched and it took me a few episodes to get into it but I’m glad I stuck it out.  The show ran during the beginning of 2011 and is about a group of police officers from the Seoul Gangnam Police Homicide Division that solve various crimes. One of the lead male characters, Park Se Hyuk, was a teacher but a terrible incident in his past caused him to quit his teaching job and become a police officer. He and his police chief, Jung Il Do, clash for reasons I won’t disclose (which means I really want you to watch the show). In addition to the police force there is also a reporter named Jo Min Joo who becomes Park Se Hyuk love interest. A reason why I wanted to see this was because it had an F4 member in it. Kim Jun plays Sin Dong Jin, an adorably cute forensic tech guy that hates the sight of blood. It was such a different character from Boys Over Flowers that I almost didn’t realize it was the same actor.
I ended up really enjoying this show because the writers were not afraid to kill off characters. I know that may sound strange but you know how it can be. Sometimes in dramas, and tv shows in general, you’ll see the characters go through something that should kill them but miraculously they survive. Sometimes with minimal damage to themselves. Not true with this show. Let’s just say I was thrown for a loop not once but twice. The show lasted 16 episodes and I wish it was longer because there were a few questions left unanswered, but isn’t that how it always is?
