[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.

 

 

 

Ratings rose a little

Naver - Xports News: 'Lookout' Lee Si Young, joined the watchmen for revenge
 
1. [+372, -17] Lee Si Young is working hard...Her action was great

2. [+323, -17] Taek's father and Sun Woo's mother are conflicting in this drama ã…‹ã…‹ Both of them are so good at acting

3. [+343, -36] I was bored the whole 55 minutes but the last 5 min saved everything. I can't do anything other than approving of Lee Si Young's action

4. [+231, -12] Lee Si Young's action is amazing!

5. [+200, -14] As expected, Lee Si Young is an actress who is capable of doing action. I wonder if anyone will follow her

6. [+78, -3] It's been a while since an actress did some action in drama.

7. [+67, -2] Lee Si Young's a mother who lost her child and she is having a serious hardship

8. [+76, -7] There are a lot of actors who only showed their faces, I'm really looking forward to their roles. Key and SeulGi are so cute and Lee Si Young is good at action ã„·ã„·ã„· She is really working hard

9. [+90, -12] Today's story development was a little loose but it was acceptable. Lee Si Young's action, Kim Young Kwang's double life, who is the capitan? what's Key and SeulGi's story? there is still more to the story

10. [+68, -6] Lee Si Young is really good at action

This comment is so baffling to me especially since ep3 (05,06) was when everything in last week's episodes started making sense and I actually became invested in the drama.

Lookout: Episodes 5-6

 

Lookout5-6-01000.jpg

 

Lookout is a crazy show full of crazy characters, which makes them highly unpredictable. It’s anybody’s guess as to what’s going on and who’s in charge, but one thing is certain: Suji is not someone to be ignored. Pair that with a prosecutor who has a flair for drama (and social media), and there’s never a dull moment.

 
EPISODE 5 RECAP

As Suji sleeps, Yoo-na calls for her mother to wake up. Suji sits up in Yoo-na’s room and rushes to the door, but when she opens it, she sees herself with her daughter at the hospital. Tearfully, Suji apologizes that she couldn’t keep her promise to catch Yoo-na’s attacker, and when the room begins to spin around her, we transition to seeing her asleep on a couch. Suji wakes up from her dream and notices that she’s been bandaged. The second thing she notices is a strange man seated with his back to her, so Suji grabs a nearby pair of scissors and stealthily approaches the man.

Suji places the scissors against the man’s throat and demands to know why she’s there, but resident hacker Kyung-soo is too engrossed with a computer game to notice. A woman’s voice alerts him to the danger as Suji looks around for the source of the voice.

 

Lookout5-6-00034.jpg&key=518a67773a21afb Lookout5-6-00042.jpg&key=91fcc3bfc0d37cb

 

 

The voice belongs to hermit Bomi, who wonders if Suji remembers her. When Suji stares blankly, Bomi uses the voice manipulator, and Suji finally recognizes the person who sent her the video of Yoo-na and her alleged killer, Shi-wan. Bomi bluntly informs Suji that she’s aged a bit since then, and Kyung-soo yells out to silence her. Kyung-soo promises to explain everything if Suji will just put down the scissors, but she doesn’t move until he claims to know where Shi-wan is.

After a few clicks on his keyboard, Suji can see that Shi-wan is in his hospital room, but she’s surprised that he’s under police protection. Bomi blurts out that Suji turned him into a victim who was lucky to escape a bullet shot by a crazy detective. Alone in his room, Shi-wan scrolls through the articles about his attack and tosses his phone in annoyance. He hears voices in the hallway and pretends to sleep, but he opens his eyes and greets his father when his parents walk in. Shi-wan’s mother fusses over him, but Chief Prosecutor Yoon insists that the incident was partly his fault.

When prompted, Shi-wan recites what he was taught, “I am your son, so I’m always at the center of attention.†Chief Prosecutor Yoon explains that that’s why Shi-wan must act with caution before pointing to the reporters outside as proof of what it’s like to be linked to leadership.

 

Lookout5-6-00135.jpg&key=6b53eeec512890e Lookout5-6-00136.jpg&key=56ac179558a4c53

 

 

When his wife reminds him that Shi-wan was hurt, Chief Prosecutor Yoon looks him over and flatly says it’s a relief that he wasn’t hurt badly. Shi-wan asks his father if he was worried, but is assured that he wasn’t, because he has faith in his son. As his parents leave Shi-wan’s room, his mother asks her husband, “He didn’t do it, did he?†But Chief Prosecutor Yoon only laughs at the question before meeting the waiting reporters to play the role of a concerned father.

Suji watches the chief prosecutor on television, but Kyung-soo suggests that they watch something else. Every other station is focused on some angle of Shi-wan’s attack, and Suji is heartbroken that not a single report mentioned Yoo-na and how she died.

Bomi explains through a speaker that no one will ever know the real Shi-wan because Suji’s attack made him appear sympathetic. Desperate to smooth over Bomi’s harsh words, Kyung-soo insists that it’s still possible to catch Shi-wan thanks to his hacking skills and Bomi’s ability to monitor people around the clock, not to mention their incredible leader.

 

Lookout5-6-00194.jpg&key=63d45c0174fea22

 

Our mysterious priest enters the confessional where Do-han waits. He wants to know what Do-han has planned for “that woman,†and he admits that he wants her to eventually arrest Yoon Seung-ro.

The priest reminds Do-han that Suji just lost a child, but Do-han explains that he understands what it’s like to lose a loved one and feel powerless while the culprit is right in front of you. The priest regrets that he didn’t stop Do-han, but Do-han knows that he couldn’t do that because he hasn’t forgiven the ones who caused it all — Do-han, his father and Yoon Seung-ro. Kyung-soo and Bomi tell Suji about their leader: He helped them to get revenge, and they now obey his orders in return. Bomi makes it clear that Suji has been given a final chance to get Shi-wan, and Suji escapes to the roof to think as Do-han strides out of the church.

 

 

One year later. Do-han drives his car as news hits the airwaves that the Blue House named Yoon Seung-ro as the next attorney general. At the same time, a black sedan enters a parking garage, followed closely by Suji on a motorcycle. After the driver exits the car, Suji creeps up to wedge a coin in a door handle and explains into her headset that it’s a trick that she learned from a car thief. She worries about the penalty for car theft, but Bomi wonders instead about the penalty for attempted murder and flight. While Suji downloads navigation data, she notices Chief Prosecutor Yoon’s photo on the front page of a newspaper and breathes that he should be their target. Suji asks Bomi and Kyung-soo if their leader really exists since they haven’t heard from him in over a year, and though Bomi advises Suji to wait, she can’t help but wonder if they aren’t curious about him.

Bomi is adamant that she doesn’t need to know anything about their leader, and she expects Kyung-soo to agree with her. Kyung-soo is surprised when Suji asks if there’s a way to contact their leader first and shoots a worried look at the camera that monitors him when he admits that it may be possible. He encourages the women not to argue, but they bark at him to stay out of it. Do-han runs over to Prosecutor Oh on their way to a large meeting to gush about the chief prosecutor’s selection as attorney general. Prosecutor Oh assures Do-han that Chief Prosecutor Yoon can’t forget about him even though he’s not loyal, because he has something important. Prosecutor Oh cautions that it’s crucial that everything go well until the chief prosecutor is confirmed into his new position.

Suji rides away as her target returns to his car and selects his next destination. Kyung-soo forwards the location to some clients, and we see three angry women burst into a room and catch the man in bed with another woman. Kyung-soo tallies up the tracking fees, and it turns out that this is the way the team earns money to bankroll their revenge assignments. Kyung-soo reassures Suji that their leader will contact them soon, and she compliments everyone on a good job before hanging up.

 

Lookout5-6-00391.jpg&key=694bee4831d7bb2

 

Suji looks out a window as Shi-wan comes home with both of his parents. She tosses her headset onto a bed and turns around to study the walls, which she’s plastered with surveillance photos of Shi-wan. Suji stares at his house and vows, “No matter what you do and where you are, I’ll be watching you. Once you show your true self, I’ll be the first to know. I’ll be the first to catch you.â€

While an inmate pens a letter as his cellmates sleep somewhere in a prison, prosecutor Eun-joong is awakened by a coworker after spending the night asleep at his desk. When he stands up, he tosses aside a newspaper with a photo of Chief Prosecutor Yoon and uncovers a letter addressed to him from HAN DONG-HOON.

A familiar courier delivers an envelope to Bomi’s apartment and she opens her door as soon as he runs off, still frightened from their last encounter. Bomi informs the team that their leader has finally contacted them.

The envelope contains a photo of Woo-sung and his social security number, along with the instructions, “Put him back where he belongs.†Suji parks her motorcycle outside of an abandoned storefront in a rundown neighborhood and runs inside to join Kyung-soo, who has photos on his laptop of the envelope’s contents.

Suji recognizes Woo-sung from her investigation the year before. She wonders how much Kyung-soo can discover with a social security number, and he smiles at the chance to show her what he can do.
