Lookout is a bit heavy, a child dies in the 1st couple episodes, so I can understand them preferring a more lighthearted drama.

 

Yeah i agreed with you

Lookout: Episodes 1-2

lookout2-00179.jpg

 

This is one sharpshooter you do not want to mess with. There’s plenty to look at in MBC’s Lookout, and the main draw is the complex characters, though there are some pretty impressive action sequences too. We’ve got one badass cop who struggles to balance motherhood with her demanding job and a smarmy prosecutor for whom nothing is off limits in the name of guaranteed success, not to mention an all-seeing hermit and a Catholic priest with lots of secrets. Seekers of justice come in all forms.

 

EPISODE 1 RECAP

Angry rap music underscores the opening scene as a black sedan zips erratically down the streets of Seoul. Inside the car, a woman frantically raps against the window for help, but her cries go unnoticed. She pleads with her husband behind the wheel to snap out of it, asking the whereabouts of their daughter, but he hits her and continues to speed ahead. We pull out to reveal this scene playing out on one of many monitors being overseen by a small hooded figure. We don’t see her face — it’s SEO BOMI (Kim Seul-gi) — but she uses her joystick to zoom in on the action. She’s definitely watching them.

 

lookout1-00033.jpg

 

 

We return to the action, and we see JO SUJI (Lee Shi-young) on a motorcycle determinedly trailing the car. Elsewhere, a frizzy-haired kid whose face is obscured by all the windows open on his laptop — GONG KYUNG-SOO (Key) — hacks into the car and manages to pop open the hood, surprising the driver and sending the car into a tailspin and multiple collisions. A truck is about to ram into the car, but Suji ejects herself from her motorcycle so that it slides underneath the truck and stops it in its tracks. The cops — LEE SOON-AE (Kim Sun-young), NAM BYUNG-JAE, and MA JIN-KI — hop out of their vehicles, as does prosecutor JANG DO-HAN (Kim Young-kwang). As soon as the crazy driver emerges from his car, Suji kicks him to the ground. He asks if she’s the cop from before. “Not anymore,†she replies, before punching him in the face.

A rapid-fire montage of prior events reveals that Suji’s daughter Yoo-na was murdered, and we see a devastated Suji shout that jerks like Do-han don’t deserve to be prosecutors. We end with Suji firing her gun at something (someone?) before being held back by her colleagues. One evening, Do-han calls the crazy driver as he spies on him from a rooftop. With his voice manipulated to conceal his identity, Do-han warns that he’s watching his every move before he orders him to turn himself in.

 

May 3, 2016. Suji’s at home and still in bed while her alarm blares. Daughter Yoo-na shuts it off and plops on top of mom to smack a sticker (featuring Yoo-na’s face, heh) onto her forehead. She says her mom should wake up and go catch the bad guys. Suji finally gets up, only to whine that she was woken up too late. Grandma sets the table with breakfast while Yoo-na picks out the beans from her rice because they’re yucky. Suji concurs and rushes out the door, brushing off Grandma’s remark that she’s got something stuck on her forehead. Yoo-na tells Grandma that it’s a sticker to reward mom for nabbing all the baddies. Gah, she’s too cute.

Suji arrives for work at the police station and brightly greets fellow officer Byung-jae, but he’s not tickled to see her. He says that women like her belong at home and get promotions for nothing. But female colleague Soon-ae defends Suji and reminds him that he lost a promotion for forcing out a confession the old-fashioned way. He walks off, insulted, and Suji finally removes the sticker from her forehead. A man bumps into her as he enters the building, and it’s the crazy driver from earlier, KIM WOO-SUNG. Suji notices a bloodstain on his bag, and Woo-sung addresses the camera in the ceiling: “Look here. I’m here at the police station like you wanted. I’ll tell them what happened that day.â€

He waves a knife around the cops, but Suji calmly reminds him to do what he came for: talk. He reveals that he killed someone with the knife in his hand. The cops apprehend him when he drops it, and Woo-sung turns to the surveillance camera again: “You’re seeing this, right?†Suited up and looking positively smarmy, Do-han licks his lips while a multi-course gastronomic feast gets prepared right before his eyes. He asks the server for a photo and poses with his food — which is for Instagram, of course. He carefully resizes the photo and adds a bunch of cheesy inspirational hashtags.

lookout1-00301.jpg lookout1-00325.jpg

Right before digging in, his phone rings. The caller ID reads, “My Gracious Chief†with a funny photo of his boss, Prosecutor OH KWANG-HO. Annoyed, Do-han holds his breath until he’s red and gasping before answering the call. He fibs that he’s running to the office now, but is then instructed to go to the police station. He looks at the untouched food and sweetly asks the server if a refund is possible. Doubtful.

During his interrogation, Woo-sung asserts to Suji that he’s the one who stabbed and murdered the store owner in the 2004 Samil Supermarket case and that because the cops messed up, the wrong guy is doing time for it now. But Suji’s not buying it — why let someone else do time for twelve years and turn yourself in now? Woo-sung replies that he’s not doing this of his own volition; he’s being watched, and he pointedly gazes at the camera in the room. Suji asks if there’s anyone else who knows of his crime, and he answers that his mother, older sister, and one friend are aware. Just then, Do-han barges in and advises Woo-sung to stop talking. Behind the window, Suji’s colleagues wonder who just entered. Do-han flings Suji his ID, and she learns that he’s a prosecutor. Do-han correctly guesses that Suji isn’t dating and says that if someone were to ask her how many men she’s been with, she shouldn’t answer and let her past remain in the past. But Suji counters that people like the man doing time in Woo-sung’s stead can’t let their past be, since his life is at stake.

lookout1-00539.jpg lookout1-00543.jpg

 

Do-han agrees, but adds that there are more lives at stake than his; the detective, prosecutor, and judge associated with the case will all lose their jobs, and he’ll be branded as the prosecutor who stirred up a hornet’s nest by reopening his boss’s old case. He simply can’t have that happen. The animosity grows between the two, and Do-han warns Suji that the guy who interrupted his expensive feast is someone very high up. He adds that if she continues this investigation, the big cheeses won’t be very happy, so why not wrap this up quietly? But Suji’s adamant on doing her job, and a fed up Do-han leaves.  Prosecutor KIM EUN-JOONG (Kim Tae-hoon) takes a breather at the kickboxing gym but gets right back up and starts punching a bag when Suji arrives. He’s pleased she’s here to see him, but she just came to ask if he knew Do-han. He does and says that Do-han should be avoided; he passed the bar at a record young age, but his intelligence is also the source of his inferiority complex.

Cut to Do-han snootily pretending not to recognize his neighbor from when he lived in a mountain village. But as soon as he enters his car, his native accent comes out. Prosecutor Kim says that Do-han wants to hide the fact that he studied his way out of poverty, which is why he masquerades as a rich man; he’ll do anything if it guarantees success. After flipping out at a dog that peed on his car, Do-han enters his noticeably drab home and researches Suji. Back at the gym, Suji finally remembers Do-han as the legendary rags to riches “shooting star,†and Prosecutor Kim warns her to be careful working with Do-han, since Senior Prosecutor Oh is behind him. Suji thanks him for the intel with coffee, but she passes on sharing it with him since she has to pick up Yoo-na.

Suji excitedly greets Yoo-na at school, where students from Sunyoung High are volunteering and helping little kids in art class. Yoo-na had been coloring with a male student, and she proudly announces to her class that her mom is a gun and handcuff-toting cop before excitedly telling her mom to show them. Suji holds up her handcuffs, saying that she’s used these to book murderers, rapists, etc. It’s TMI for the young ears, so she stops and marvels at Yoo-na’s drawing and thanks the high school students for helping out. Meanwhile, at a bar, Do-han takes a seat next to a woman after shooing the drunkard hitting on her away. He gives her his business card when the grateful woman asks for his name. 

On a call with Soon-ae, Suji fills her in on what Prosector Kim told her regarding Do-han and Prosecutor Oh. Soon-ae says she has Woo-sung’s call records, but adds that a call from a burner phone can’t be traced; she’s just not convinced he’s being watched. Her teenage daughter comes home from school then, only to retreat to her room without a word. Yoo-na emerges from her room and tells Suji that a ghost entered through her window. Suji assures her that she’ll catch it and carries her daughter back to bed. May 4, 2016. Prosecutor Oh is approached by a reporter (the woman from the bar) who asks him if it’s true that he accused the wrong culprit of the 2004 murder case he oversaw as prosecutor. However, he manages to deflect her questions.

Do-han arrives outside Prosecutor Oh’s office and overhears him speaking furiously inside. He swiftly enters as soon as the ruckus dies down, but he almost gets nailed by a potted plant Prosecutor Oh flings at the wall behind him. “What did you do to cause this mess?†he asks Do-han. Do-han answers that Suji couldn’t be swayed and that Woo-sung’s confession further complicated things. Prosecutor Oh reminds him that if he goes down, Do-han will too, but Do-han appears untroubled. Prosecutor Oh wonders if he should speak to Chief Prosecutor YOON SEUNG-RO before things get worse, but Do-han says that Chief Prosecutor Yoon already has too much on his plate. Do-han offers to handle this matter on his own and asks Prosecutor Oh to help him win the chief prosecutor’s favor later. 

At the police station, the grandmother of the man doing time for the 2004 murder begs Suji to read all the documents she’s collected over the years from the police office and prosecution. In the interrogation room, Woo-sung’s sister and mother deny that Woo-sung is a murderer, but fellow officer Jin-ki points out that Woo-sung already confessed that they they witnessed his bloody clothes after he murdered the shop owner. Though the mother suspiciously tries to speak for her daughter, they both maintain Woo-sung’s innocence.

From the other side of the window, Suji watches and says that they won’t admit the truth so easily, since they can be charged for helping Woo-sung hide the incriminating evidence. Soon-ae says all they need is the DNA from the murder weapon, but then Do-han enters with an envelope and informs them that the weapon can’t be tested.

 

 

lookout1-00992.jpg lookout1-00991.jpg

 

Suji and Soon-ae are now back to square one. Do-han reminds them that they currently have no evidence or witnesses and urges them to stop the investigation. Suji points out that Do-han initially came to save Woo-sung and asks if he’s now trying to save his boss, Prosecutor Oh. She tells him to start doing his job, and Do-han stomps his foot and shouts that he is — and he wants them to let Woo-sung go. Suji eyes him squarely, but the tension is broken up by Soon-ae’s unexpected cooperation; she tells Do-han they’ll wrap up the case by tomorrow, surprising Suji. After Do-han leaves, Soon-ae reminds a riled-up Suji that all she has to do is find CHOI MYUNG-HOON, Woo-sung’s friend/last witness by tomorrow. Suji scoffs that this solution didn’t hit her sooner and resolves herself to finding him.

 
EPISODE 2 RECAP

Soon-ae and Suji are on a stakeout while parked outside a club. Suji begs Yoo-na for forgiveness via videochat for not spending time with her, but Yoo-na’s bummed that she forgot her promise. Suji insists she didn’t and says that Grandma will give Yoo-na her present, but that doesn’t cheer her up. After she hangs up, Soon-ae comments that she has the same issues with her own daughter, but that Yoo-na will get over it sooner because she’s younger. At a cafe, Grandma surprises Yoo-na with sparkly blue slippers, but the kid is still glum and sighs that Mom doesn’t even know what promise she broke.

May 5, 2016. There’s a magic show at the welfare center, and Grandma and Yoo-na are sitting in the audience. While Grandma gets distracted by a trick, Yoo-na walks out unnoticed. On her way out, she runs into the student who helped her draw and asks him if he knows of a place closest to the sky. Meanwhile, Suji and her crew bust a hotel room where Choi Myung-hoon’s been drinking and shooting up drugs. He jumps out the window to escape, and Suji follows suit. She chases him around tight alleyways and corners until there’s nowhere left for him to turn.

 

She yells that she’s not here to arrest him; she just wants to know if Woo-sung told him about a murder he committed in 2004, but Choi Myung-hoon tries to climb over a wall. Soon-ae arrives and finds Suji with her revolver aimed at him even though he’s unarmed. Suji: “I’ll just give him one later.†Heh.

Suji asks him where he’d like to be shot, and he dares her to shoot. He thinks she’s bluffing, but Soon-ae assures him that she’s being serious; after all, Suji represented Korea in the shooting category. Suji decides to aim for the legs since he made them run, and when Choi Myung-hoon remarks that the first round is blank, she rotates the cylinder to test his luck, ala Russian Roulette. Suji counts to three while Soon-ae blithely tells him that he won’t die, and finally spooked, he gets down from the wall and allows Suji to handcuff him.

Turns out that he fell for Suji’s shooting fable which always seems to work, but Soon-ae clarifies that if Suji didn’t fall for a guy while training, she’d be living off pensions and winning all the medals. While stuck in traffic, Suji gets a call from Grandma, who frets that she lost Yoo-na. Suji assures her that Yoo-na’s probably somewhere nearby and exits the car, since she’s already near the welfare center. Suji follows the commotion and sees a bloodstained, sparkly blue slipper fall from a stretcher being ushered into an ambulance. She immediately recognizes it as Yoo-na’s and pushes past the crowd and into the back. To her horror, she finds Yoo-na injured and unconscious.

Grandma is inconsolable at the hospital and blames herself while Suji silently reels from all of this. A police officer informs them that it seems Yoo-na went up the rooftop by herself and fell, but Suji shouts that Yoo-na’s afraid of heights, so how do his preliminary findings make any sense? Suji thinks back to the night of the stakeout. Soon-ae guessed that Suji was contemplating dropping detective work for an administrative role because of the guilt of missing out on all of Yoo-na’s birthdays, but Soon-ae had advised her not to quit, knowing that she’d end up returning since she did the same thing. Soon-ae reminded Suji that she made her a detective after seeing how happy she was after her first case and added that they weren’t born just to become moms — Suji should live her life how she wants to. Preach!

Back in the present, Suji suddenly receives an ominous text message: “Your daughter/not an accident.†Suji immediately calls the number and Bomi, the hooded figure from before, answers. Using a voice manipulator, Bomi says that there’s a security camera monitoring littering next to the building Yoo-na fell from. Suji demands to know the identity of the caller, but Bomi hangs up abruptly and sends her a video clip of Yoo-na accompanied by a male student.

After her surgery, Suji and Grandma find Yoo-na hooked up to several machines and bandaged all over, but conscious. She blinks and nods when Suji asks if something happened on the roof. When Suji shows her the video clip and asks if something happened between her and the student, Yoo-na’s breathing quickens. A flashback reveals the guy lifting Yoo-na onto the ledge, snatching her paper airplane, and shoving her off the building.

lookout2-00376.jpg lookout2-00379.jpg

Horrified, Suji asks if the guy in the video pushed her, and Yoo-na nods in between distressed breaths. Suji vows to catch the guy who hurt her, vowing that this time, she’ll keep her promise. Next, we finally see Bomi’s face illuminated by her array of monitors. She’s watching the tearful hospital scene with a neutral expression and turns to another screen where Kyung-soo informs her that the footage of Yoo-na with the student is all that he’s found. They’ve done all they could, so Bomi tells him to quickly leave since a guard is approaching. He tries to exit without raising suspicion, but the guard stops him and remarks that no one reported a server failure. Kyung-soo tries to play it cool, but a group of guards chase him, and he hightails it out of there on his skateboard.

 

 

lookout2-00406.jpg lookout2-00410.jpg

 

Kyung-soo enters a confessional at a church and sticks a note underneath the counter. He doesn’t stay to repent for his sins — he’s got too many — but he lights a marked candle once he’s outside. Moments later, a Catholic priest glances at the candle and takes the note Kyung-soo left behind.

It reads: “Mission — cleared! But next time, let’s not take on such dangerous missions.†The priest looks up from the note with a tiny smile on his face.

That evening, Suji enters Prosecutor Kim’s office and asks for a warrant to search all the schools in the vicinity, since she has video footage of a male student accompanying Yoo-na.

Lookout: Episodes 3-4

 

Lookout-03-04-00525.jpg

 

I like this show. I mean, I really like this show, to the point where I’m getting nervous because these first two/four episodes have boosted my expectations significantly, and we still have fourteen/twenty-eight more to go. I know better than this. I’ve learned it the hard way too many times. And yet, I really like this show! The second half of the premiere week kicks off as our heroine finally has a suspect firmly in her cross hairs. Tenacious and angry, Suji will stop at nothing to get justice for her daughter. But how far is too far?

 
EPISODE 3 RECAP

 

Lookout-03-04-00017.jpg

 

 

We rewind to see how Do-han had not only manipulated Woo-sung into turning himself in for the murder he committed twelve years ago, but he was also watching a surveillance feed of his surrender at the station. Do-han then intentionally “ran into†the reporter who confronted Prosecutor Oh and planted evidence about the Woo-sung case for her to find. Tricky, tricky.

Back where we left off, Suji tracks down the high school student who brought her daughter to the rooftop. Grabbing his bag with Yoo-na’s special sticker on it, Suji demands to know if he was one who took her little girl up to the roof. (As he is now officially a suspect, let’s name him: This is YOON SHI-WAN, none other than the son of Chief Prosecutor Yoon.)

 

Lookout-03-04-00029.jpg Lookout-03-04-00030.jpg

 

 

Either this kid is the world’s best actor, or we have the wrong suspect, because Shi-wan greets Suji innocently, recalling her from when he volunteered with her daughter at the center. He asks if something has happened to Yoo-na, but Suji gapes at him in growing horror at his easy lies.

She yells at him to stop pretending to know nothing and pushes him as she yells that he threw her daughter off the roof. As (bad) luck would have it, Shi-wan’s mother happens to be driving by and pulls over to confront the woman yelling at her son.

 

Lookout-03-04-00060.jpg

 

 

Suji flashes her badge and informs Shi-wan’s mom that her son is suspected of pushing a seven-year-old girl off a roof. Mom denies it at first, but when Suji shows her the surveillance picture, she seems to recognize her son immediately and stares at Shi-wan with wide eyes.

Shi-wan chimes in to ask if Yoo-na is all right, seemingly every inch the concerned oppa. Suji is once again speechless at his gall, and Mom uses the moment to collect herself. She steps up to argue that the detective can’t accuse her son with one blurry picture as evidence before telling her to send a formal request if she wants to interrogate her son further.

Luckily, Suji’s friend, Prosecutor Kim Eun-joon, catches up at that moment and promises to send that request promptly. Mom looks unsettled but says she needs to discuss it with her husband, name-dropping that he’s the chief prosecutor (and Prosecutor Kim’s boss’ boss).

 

Lookout-03-04-00129.jpg Lookout-03-04-00131.jpg

 

 

Mom pulls her son away to the car, and Suji shakes off her shock to tell Eun-joong that Shi-wan is the one they’re looking for, citing Yoo-na’s sticker on his backpack as proof. She yells that he’s pretending to know nothing, but Eun-joong managers to talk her down, reminding her that they need to find evidence first.

Do-han visits Eun-joong’s empty office and subtly snoops through the flyers and notes regarding Yoo-na’s case. Eun-joong comes back and catches him, so Do-han slides on the cheesy charm and swears he’s just worried about the detective. He hopes that her daughter’s accident won’t affect her ability to work on Woo-sung’s case, but Eun-joong notes that Do-han sounds like he’s hoping it will.

Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching


 

Oh my goodness, so many new shows to sample, so many old shows to keep up with, so many tired nights of binge-watching episodes lest I fall behind at the starting line. I’m in the throes of a happy but exhausting first-world problem, because I’m actually liking so many of the current and new shows (and am acutely aware of several more on the horizon) that I’m honestly not sure how I’m going to keep up with them all. It’s a happy conundrum, but still a conundrum. â€“javabeans



javabeans
  • Lookout: I’m digging the secret group of Lookouts, and I’m glad the show opened with that glimpse of Lee Shi-young as part of them because it was something to look forward to when they jumped back in time. It’s all necessary setup, of course, but since we know what’s to come, it felt like they were taking their sweet time with the backstory and I was antsy to get back to the present.

 



girlfriday
  • Lookout: I think I’m going to like this a lot once Lee Shi-young joins the badass vigilante team. It feels like the story is still revving up, but until then, more Kim Seul-gi/Key bickering will keep me happy.

 



HeadsNo2
  • Lookout: I’ve really made it a point to avoid Kim Young-kwang’s shows (excluding White Christmas), since he’s just never been the kind of actor I’m able to warm up to easily. None of that’s changed, since he’s basically playing a heightened version of the character he always tends to play (smarmy, kind of terrible), though I appreciate where the show is trying to go with him. But it was Suji who absolutely broke my heart this week, and I can’t wait for her to be inducted into the Cool Kids’ Surveillance Club.

Lee Si Young, Kim Seul Gi, And SHINee’s Key To Form Team Bonds At Their Secret Lair On Next Episode Of “Lookoutâ€

 
Lookout-1.jpg&key=e77d30113c571cbbc4351c
 
 

MBC’s newest action drama, “Lookout,†revealed new stills showingLee Si Young, Kim Seul Gi, and SHINee’s Key meeting as a team for the first time and starting to form bonds.

 

Lookout1.jpg&key=b8fa92cc4feea0bd93c7eac

 
 

The stills are interesting because they show the team bonds slowly forming. In the first picture, Jo Su Ji (Lee Si Young) is holding a knife to Gong Kyung Soo’s (Key’s) neck because she doesn’t trust him, and Gong Kyung Soo is petrified. However, in the later stills, the two look much more at ease and seem to be working on something big.

 

Another notable reveal in these stills is that Seo Bo Mi (Kim Seul Gi) appears to be watching them through a CCTV camera and Go Kyung Soo looks like he is about to say something very important. It will be interesting to find out the trio is up to, and how their relationships will pan out in the future.

 

MBC’s “Lookout†airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. KST.

I looove the lead actress, she is a great actress and a total badass. All the supporting characters are great too. I was soo sad when the girl died. And I hate that middle-schooler so much, and he has the audacity to mock her. Ugh! I think that the guy who is the leader of the lookout is also Yu Na's dad.

 

 

 

Yuna's dad? but arent Sooji said to Yuna before that his father already died?

 

or perhaps SJ never told her the real story?imstupid.png

[HanCinema's Drama Preview] "Lookout"

 

photo850662.jpg&key=821c0857ed218ae029d3

 

Revenge stemming from the sense of injustice is not a new concept in Korean drama, but where there is usually one hero fighting for their personal cause, "Lookout" inserts a cast of characters working together for the justice they have all been denied. The cast off characters offers variety and the potential for a gripping story.

 

Premise

"Lookout" tells the story of people whose lives have been touched by crime and the lack of justice. Detective Jo Soo-ji (Lee Si-young), who tragically loses her daughter leads the team of vigilantes as they attempt to make justice in a world where corruption and dirty interests dictate who matters in the eyes of the law.

 

The Worrying

Ensemble Storytelling

As excited as I am about the focus on an ensemble cast and the potential such a story holds, I know Dramaland cannot handle multiple leads. There is always the urge to let someone shine and place others around them. Will "Lookout" really be a group piece and can the writer make each character compelling or will this be another single-hero revenge melodrama?

 

New Writer

This is always a worry, because it is an unknown element. The writer has won with their script for a reason, but being a rookie means that they will also have less pull in the industry. It all comes down to whether one can trust the production and channel to help creators work with quality in mind. I sincerely hope the drama is given this support.

 

The Reassuring

Action-thriller

The fact that the series is presented more as an action-thriller than a typical revenge melodrama is encouraging. PD Son Hyeong-seok has also worked in "Two Weeks", a drama which is definitely an example to follow for such works. If "Lookout" can offer the same fast-pace and suspense revolving around a story with a strong emotional core, it will be a solid piece.

 

Emotional Potential

As already mentioned, a story about finding justice in an unjust world is a very simple, but also inherently gripping one. This is not to say that such stories cannot fail to evoke viewers' emotions, but they do have the easier task of trying to achieve that through universal and emotionally charged themes. Assuming that the action does not take over, "Lookout" could be very captivating.

 

Closing Thoughts

The corruption of power and the indifference of carriers which citizens should be able to rely on is a Korean drama staple. It also generates injustices and emotions most can sympathize or even empathize with. With a refreshing cast, a strong premise and promising creators, "Lookout" looks like a work with a good chance at doing something great.

I don't think so. After watching this episode it seems like Dohan's the leader and if the priest actually was Sooji's ex/Yuna's father I don't think he would allow Dohan to use her for his plans. During the confessional scene it seemed like the priest never even knew her before Dohan decided to get her involved with the lookout crew so he could take down the chief prosecutor.

 

 

 

Yeah you could be right bout that,

 

and bout ratings, this drama may stay on 3rd place, i dont think it could change imstupid.png
