426. Into the Ring 출사표 (2020) Korean

Nana, Park Sung Hoon, Ahn Nae Sang, Yoo Da In, Han Joon Woo

Drama Rating: 7/10     Neck Score: A

I had to watch this one because I needed to see my psychopath being a male lead. He did a good job. I loved his chemistry with Nana. They had the friends thing down so great, especially when they were like opposites attract and complement, but they also transitioned to lovers well. Yeah, this is a romantic comedy. It's a political one too. Warning to all who don't like that type of drama. This is a story about a girl who goes from being a chronic civic complainer (you know the type that notify city all about all the lights out in town and potential hazards, etc) to running for city council to make both money and a difference. It's about smaller town politics (it still happens in the Seoul Metropolis, I believe, but in a suburb district) and the pettiness of politicians. Seriously, they acted like they were all in some high school clicks.

41. Level 7 Civil Servant 7급 공무원 (2013) Korean

Joo Won, Choi Gang Hee, Chansung, Ahn Nae Sang, Kim Min Seo

Drama Rating: 5/10     Neck Score: A

Super cheesy, but hey, it had Joo Won in it.  Also it has an interesting spy premise.  It is actually based off of a 2009 movie with Kang Ji Hwan and Kim Ha Neul in it, which is way better.  It's hilarious, in fact.  But this show was ok.  Not the best, but not too bad.  The most annoying part was the trust issues that came with a spy couple.  Also the other guy, Chansung, was super annoying until he stopped being the other guy.  He's super hot, and now he's my 2pm bias.  Actually, I might have liked the older actors in this one better, because the characters of the young-uns are a bit annoying.  Also Choi Gang Hee looks old enough to be Joo Won's mom sometimes.  Aunt at least.  Not really, but she definitely looks older than him.  But he's got a young face.
