[DRAMA REVIEW] YOU'RE ALL SURROUNDED: GANGNAM'S P4

Yay. I have successfully finished a drama again. This time is an action-comedy-crime-drama. The story is about a group of rookie detectives in Gangnam Police Station, South Korea. There are four of them: Eun Dae Gu (Lee Sung Gi), Oh Soo Sun (Go Ara), Park Tae Il (Ahn Jae Hyun), and Ji Gook (Park Jung Min). They are chosen to be part of team 3 in crime division, under the command of legendary detective, Seo Pan Suk and his friend, Detective Lee. These four newbies are called P4. 

The story is about the daily life of detectives in handling criminals and many unexpected situations. The drama also shows how the rookie detectives are being trained to fit in as polices. Of course there are several interesting cases and the drama also showcases comedy within it and love line to make the story tastier. I really love how comical the characters are. They are really great actors. I laugh when they do something silly, comedy at its best, and cry when the scenes tend to touch the spectators. This drama has been a good friend of me for this week. I enjoy it so much. 

If this story just tells about random crimes that happened in Gangnam, this drama is gonna be a regular one. But, to differentiate it from other dramas, the writers seem like making a root as the core of the story line. The way they deliver and stir the viewers' perspective and way of thinking is quiet intriguing. There are several twists in every corners of the story. You should watch to know what I mean.

The main conflict is actually about Eun Dae Gu who wants to reveal the truth behind the death of his mother eleven years ago. Someone had killed his mother in front of his own eyes. His real name is actually Ji Yong, but he then moved in an orphanage and changed his name into Eun Dae Gu. After he joined team 3 crime division of Gangnam Police Station, he has the chance to catch the killer and those who have plotted the crime scene. The result of his investigation is actually bigger than he can imagine, involving the Police Chief, Assemblyman and his family. 

The drama although has the purpose to entertain with the way how comedic actually it is directed, it is still delivering messages here and there through the dialogues and also the characters' actions and choice decisions. You're All Surrounded shows the corruption of the society and how can innocent people be unfairly judged. But, still, no matter how you've been wronged and burned by hatred to take revenge, don't ever put gun on your opponent because when you do that all the reasons will vanish and only left with the result (Detective Seo Pan Suk). 

If you want to watch something funny and also thrilling, you may try to watch You're All Surrounded. This drama will make you laugh and also sit on your couch for 20 straight hours. 

Warning: When Yoo Ae Yun appears, please don't throw your mug towards the monitor (that ahjumma is sure crazy bitch).
