  • Two Cops: Episodes 25-26TwoCops25-26-00306.jpg

 

Okay, finally we’re onto something! Our taciturn detective and his ghostly sidekick have a clear focus, and they’re starting to use their unusual situation effectively (and most important, quickly) to get some results. And not a moment too soon, because the bad guys are onto them and stepping up their efforts to block them, or even get rid of them. Better late than never, I say.

 

 

EPISODE 25 RECAPTwoCops25-26-00013.jpg

 

At the same time as Dong-tak is reuniting with Ji-an, Su-chang is at the station, wondering why CP Tak said that he owes his father a favor. He sees a photograph that fell out of Ji-an’s folder, and he remembers the man in the picture as the detective he begged to help him prove his father’s innocence.

Ji-an shows Dong-tak the folder, and he blanches when he recognizes her father’s name. A flurry of memories pass through his mind — promising young Su-chang that he’d help him, gathering evidence, and giving that evidence to Ji-an’s father, Detective Song.

He sits Ji-an down and tells her what he knows — that Su-chang’s father was accused of causing a fatal accident sixteen years ago, and that her father was in charge of that case. He tells her how he gave Detective Song the evidence proving Su-chang’s father’s innocence.

EPISODE 26 RECAP

TwoCops25-26-00280.jpg TwoCops25-26-00281.jpg

 

Bong-sook sits at a bus stop, telling herself that she doesn’t care about that dumb old Sung-hyuk dumping her. She’s tempted by the purse of the girl sitting next to her, but as she’s reaching to pluck the girl’s wallet, she looks up to see Sung-hyuk standing over her, telling her gently to stop. It’s really just the girl’s boyfriend, but the vision seriously rattles her cage.

Seeing her on the street looking upset, Su-chang asks Dong-tak for a favor. Dong-tak finds Bong-sook seething after being rejected for a job (because she has a record) and takes her for coffee. Su-chang beams, proud of her for trying to get a real job, and he asks Dong-tak to do that “talking to the soul†thing for Bong-sook and encourage her to keep trying.

 

TwoCops25-26-00294.jpg TwoCops25-26-00295.jpg

 

She’s confused when Dong-tak doesn’t seem to know her — he’s actually never met her before, because she’s always seen him while Su-chang was using his body. But she seems moved as he gives her a speech about using her life to do what she finds exciting.

Su-chang adds that he doesn’t know who made her cry, but that she should grab hold of that guy. Dong-tak says that he can tell Bong-sook that himself when he wakes up. As she leaves, Su-chang tells Dong-tak that Bong-sook was his sidekick ever since they were at the orphanage together.

At his club, Yong-pal tells his minions about his misspent youth, and they all eat it up except for Doc, who whines that he doesn’t care. Yong-pal gets a call from an informant, and we hear him mention Su-chang, the hospital, and the stab-and-twist move. He calls Dong-tak, who doesn’t answer, so Yong-pal heads to the hospital himself.

COMMENTS

By this point, I’ve been figuring that either Jae-hee knew everything (and was either letting his father kill everyone and not saying anything, or an accomplice doing his father’s bidding), or that he’s been completely ignorant for sixteen years. I even previously considered that he might be the Angel, but I always felt it was more likely that he’s had no idea all this time, given that he seems outwardly to be a nice guy whose morals are in the right place. So I’m a bit shocked that it’s looking like my instinct was on the right track, and that Jae-hee really is the Angel; the killer in the helmet. As I said before, the timing works out, because the recent deaths began when he came back to town after being away, and he certainly has motive if he’s the one who somehow caused the fatal crash in the first place.

 

What really surprised me is that this episode made a pretty good argument that Chief Prosecutor Tak may not actually know that his son is the Angel. It makes no sense for him to be going to such great lengths to protect Jae-hee from an accident in the past, if he’s aware that Jae-hee is just going out and killing even more people now. You wouldn’t shield your child from the past by sending them out to commit deliberate murders. It would explain why Chief Prosecutor Tak seems at times to be the mastermind, and at times he seems not to know what’s going on. I noticed that in his rooftop confession, he didn’t say that he had Kim Jong-doo and Hang-joon killed, he just says about them, “and then he died.†And he really did seem frightened at the thought that Dong-tak blames him and Jae-hee for the recent deaths.

It’s possible that Jae-hee came back to town, learned of the threats, and acted on his own. Still, I do wonder if this is a late-stage red herring and Jae-hee isn’t the real Angel. It was kind of strange to find out at this late date that reporter Ni-nam is also a sponsor of the orphanage. But that mention felt very tacked-on, so it’s hard to say if it was meant to be a real clue, or just a diversion to confuse us about Jae-hee (in which case, call it a success).

TwoCops25-26-00464.jpg

Having said all that, I have to admit that this show is starting to make me feel dumb, because every time I have a theory, that theory is proven wrong! And I may feel dumb again after this episode, because while everything seems to be clarifying pretty well, nothing really fits completely. But even if we find out that the truth is something entirely different, I have to appreciate that the show has kept me guessing until the very end.

I do appreciate a good mystery, one where answers only raise more questions. I find the central mystery of Two Cops to be interesting — it’s just that the execution has been so draggy. In fact, my complaints about this show can really be boiled down to one issue… it’s not that it’s badly written, or that the plot meanders, or that the story is boring. It’s that Dong-tak and Su-chang had everything they needed to solve this mystery from the very beginning, but it took them so freaking long to start using those skills. They spent weeks doing not much to solve their own case, even after figuring out that solving it is the key to getting Su-chang back into his own body. The scene where Dong-tak questioned Chief Prosecutor Tak while Su-chang watched him for signs of lying just killed me, because it was such an effective way to get information, and there’s absolutely no reason why those guys couldn’t have been doing that all along.

I get that Su-chang and Dong-tak had to work through some personal stuff first, but that could have been done much more quickly — I mean, look how fast Su-chang was able to change his mind about Ji-an’s father. So why did it take so long for him to forgive Dong-tak, who was only a kid back then? I would have happily watched some more case-of-the-week setups if the stuff in between had been more of Dong-tak and Su-chang being a solid team like they are now. The cases were interesting, I loved that they were all about righting wrongs against women. I would gladly have enjoyed a few more of those and sacrificed a lot of the aimless running around by the guys (so long as every case didn’t involve rescuing Ji-an. Again). And yet, all this isn’t enough to ruin the drama for me, which I still find fun and interesting, if I don’t try to think too hard. The problem is that I feel like the show wants me to think hard, but it’s just a bit too shaky to stand up to the close scrutiny.

I’m not sure exactly how many days Su-chang has left to solve the mystery and reclaim his life, but it must be down to a bare handful and I’m getting worried. He and Dong-tak are doing everything they can to catch the Angel and the person that’s been orchestrating everything for sixteen years, but they’re in serious danger of running out of time. They’re going to have to call in every bit of help they can for one final push, before it’s too late.

 

 

 

EPISODE 27 RECAP

Dong-tak is attacked by the Angel, and he finds himself fighting to breathe while Su-chang can do nothing but yell ineffectively. The cops show up before Dong-tak loses consciousness, which is lucky for him, but the Angel jumps on his bike and gets away.

Over coffee, Ji-an asks Chief Prosecutor Tak what happened on the day her father died. All she knows is that he was on his way to see her, but he called to say he had to stop and see someone first, and she never saw him alive again. She says that if she knew who he was meeting, she might know what happened to him, and although Chief Prosecutor Tak seems evasive, he agrees to look into it.

 

TwoCops27-28-00028.jpg TwoCops27-28-00029.jpg

 

Ji-an also asks Chief Prosecutor Tak why he sponsored her for over ten years. A dark expression comes over his face as he says softly, “I owe him. I owe your dad a huge debt.â€

After he’s gone, Ji-an tries to call Dong-tak but gets no response. She starts to change his name in her phone from “Two Cops†to “Detective Cha,†then changes her mind, telling herself that it will stay that way until he keeps his promise to get Su-chang’s body back.

She grins when a call comes in from his number, but it’s someone at the hospital where he’s been taken. She rushes over to find him getting ready to leave after having his shoulder bandaged. Ji-an fusses at Dong-tak for getting hurt all the time, and he reminds her that it’s part of his job, but her concern makes him smile.

 

TwoCops27-28-00044.jpg TwoCops27-28-00049.jpg

 

Someone alerts Jae-hee that Dong-tak is in the hospital and that Ji-an is with him. He tells whoever it is to keep an eye on them.

Leaving the hospital, Ji-an tells Dong-tak that she spoke to Chief Prosecutor Tak, and that he’s her father’s friend and her sponsor, unaware that Dong-tak knows who he is. She assumes that his closed expression means he’s jealous of Jae-hee, and Dong-tak goes with it rather than worry her even more.

He sends her home on her own, and he’s quickly joined by Su-chang, who asks if he’s okay. He’s visibly relieved when Dong-tak says he’s fine, but when Dong-tak teases him for worrying, Su-chang weakly denies it.

COMMENTS

I knew it — I knew that my theory after yesterday’s episode was going to be wrong! This is going to sound lame after the fact, but all throughout this episode, I had this odd feeling that I’d been wrong again and that Chief Prosecutor Tak’s server would turn out to be the Angel. Of course it’s easy to say that now, but for some reason she kept entering my head and making me think twice about what I knew. But the big reveal was still a surprise, because I honestly never considered that the Angel might be a woman until this episode.

 

First of all, in the beginning scene when the Angel is standing next to Su-chang, the Angel is much shorter than Su-chang, while we saw later that Jae-hee is almost as tall as Su-chang. And something about the Angel’s body language in this episode kept making me think that they might be a woman. And if it’s a woman, then the perfect candidate is Chief Prosecutor Tak’s server, the deaf girl who’s always there during his little meetings. I’d briefly considered the possibility before, and I don’t know why I didn’t give it more serious consideration, since it makes complete sense. Not to mention, it was pretty clever storytelling to have had the Angel sitting right under our noses all this time.

TwoCops27-28-00140.jpg

And it makes total sense for her to be the Angel. She’s always there during Chief Prosecutor Tak’s meetings, so she’s in the perfect position to know who needs killing at any given moment. She may not be able to hear or talk, but she can probably read lips, so she knows everything Chief Prosecutor Tak talks about with his minions. If she feels loyal to him, then that would be enough motive for her to want to kill anyone who gets in his way, and it would explain how Chief Prosecutor Tak could be unaware of who’s killing people. Heck, she may even have a personal reason — this is pure conjecture, but we know that two children ended up in that orphanage because of the accident. What if she’s the daughter of the couple who died? She may even have been in the accident herself, and that’s why she can’t hear or speak.

But if that’s the situation, and Chief Prosecutor Tak sponsored her because he felt guilty that his son killed her family, then why didn’t he do the same for Su-chang, especially since he admits that he owes his father? And none of this solves the question of who killed Ji-an’s father, because the deaf woman was just a child when that happened. I like that we still have a lot of unanswered questions going into the final week of the show, and I’m anticipating it being a wild ride to the very end. Despite my complaints about pacing, one thing this show has done very well was to continually keep us guessing about the Angel’s real identity (though as it turns out, Doo-shik’s last words to “find the real Angel†were more clear than we knew). Until now, I’d suspected nearly everyone but Dong-tak and Su-chang of being the Angel, and I still don’t know for sure why she’s killing people.

I really want to know exactly what happened sixteen years ago, and exactly how all these threads tie together. There’s more than one possible answer, which makes it a pretty clever case to center our story around. I still wish the clues had been doled out differently, and many of them much sooner, because this week’s episodes have felt fairly crammed full of clues and twisty turns which I feel could have been spread out a bit better. But I have no complaints about the mystery itself, which has kept my attention just fine throughout the run of the show. I believe that if Two Cops hadn’t forgotten its purpose for a while there in the middle, it wouldn’t have lost a lot of its audience along the way. But it started very strong and looks to have an exciting climax in store for us next week, so all in all I’m satisfied.

If you thought that the surprises were over after last week’s shocking reveal, you would be dead wrong. The worst is yet to come as the unlikely team of detective and con man grow closer to the full truth of that day sixteen years ago. Two Copsisn’t finished surprising us, as it continues to prove that wishful thinking can make anyone see what they want to see, even in the face of overwhelming evidence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • EPISODE 29 RECAP

     

TwoCops29-30-00026.jpg TwoCops29-30-00027.jpg

 

 

 

Dong-tak gets the news that Jae-hee isn’t the Angel, just as Jae-hee receives a fax confirming the Angel to be his father’s deaf assistant. Su-chang is at the the orphanage when she drives up on her motorcycle, and he stares in shock to recognize her as the girl that Doo-shik had a crush on when they were all in the orphanage together.

 

He guesses that Doo-shik knew all along that she was the Angel, explaining why he took the blame for her. He says that it was all because of her — Hang-joon, Kim Jong-doo, and even the attempt on his own life — and he screams in fury, “Why did you do it?!â€

 

Jae-hee explains to Dong-tak that his father’s assistant was caught on camera leaving the hospital, and that she’s the one who attacked Su-chang’s body. Detective Lee is still on the phone, and he confirms that the DNA found under Superintendent Ma’s fingernails belongs to a woman.

  • EPISODE 30 RECAPTwoCops29-30-00281.jpg

     

 

 

Su-chang grows frustrated as the detectives wring their hands over the fact that they still have nothing concrete linking Chief Prosecutor Tak to the murders. He suddenly realizes that Chief Prosecutor Tak doesn’t know they have the lighter or that it’s damaged, and Dong-tak instantly gets his point. He tells the others that if Soo-ah is looking for the lighter, then arresting her will lead them to Chief Prosecutor Tak.

 

Unfortunately she’s gone underground, so Dong-tak suggests they use the lighter as bait. Su-chang gets an idea and calls Dong-tak out to the hall to brag that he’s a genius, and Dong-tak is all, “Let’s just worry about your body for now.â€

 

Back in the conference room, Su-chang leads Dong-tak to tell the team that they need to get the lighter to someone who knows all of Chief Prosecutor Tak’s weaknesses, to make Chief Prosecutor Tak feel threatened. Detective Yoo asks who that might be, and Dong-tak says he knows of one person.

COMMENTS

 

Okay, this is very bad. It’s worse than when Su-chang found out that Dong-tak was the boy he thought betrayed him. Not only are they friends now, which means the betrayal will be that much more painful, but in this case Dong-tak really is guilty. Obviously he never intended for anyone to be killed, and I wonder if the horror of the accident — and the knowledge that the deaths were his fault — gave him selective amnesia. I’m very anxious to learn exactly what happened that day, and why Dong-tak doesn’t seem to remember anything (especially since the police seemed to know, or he wouldn’t have been in that file).

 

This show is so good at giving us all the clues and still managing to surprise us with the reveals. I never imagined that it was actually Dong-tak who caused the accident in the first place, though really, we should have had some suspicion that he was involved. Miss Bong has been saying from the very beginning that Dong-tak and Su-chang need to right the wrongs of the past to put things back the way they should be, so it should have been obvious that one of them had done something to the other. And we’ve never been told why Dong-tak was a the scene of the accident in the first place, only that he was there and tried to help. As an audience, we’ve been told from the very beginning that we weren’t seeing everything we needed to see.

 

 

 

It makes sense now why Jae-hee’s father has been protecting him all these years, because it was the car he was (most likely) illegally driving that got in the way, causing Su-chang’s father to swerve and kill that family and himself. And I’m positive that it’s Soo-ah’s parents who were killed in that crash, and that that’s why she’s been killing people — for revenge, and to cover up for Chief Prosecutor Tak. I’m still unsure whether Chief Prosecutor Tak knew for a fact that she’s been killing people who get in his way, because he has seemed confused about it, but he’s a smart man and there’s no way he didn’t at least suspect what she was doing.

 

I’ve really enjoyed the last couple of weeks of the show, once we finally got to the exciting part of investigating the past and present crimes. I like the way the past dovetails into the present, and how the detectives (and Yong-pal and his Avengers) team up to get things done when necessary. It’s exciting to be going into the finale still guessing at the full truth, when the show could easily have given us all the answers weeks ago and then just followed Dong-tak and Su-chang as they tried to catch the baddies. I find shows much more interesting when the audience uncovers secrets at the same time as the characters. And it was pretty clever how the show managed to give us clues that seemed to point to one thing, while in actuality meaning something completely different, which kept me on my toes as as observer and made the watching that much more exciting. So often at this point, I’m looking forward to the finale mostly so that I can see everything finally laid to rest, but in this case, it’s fun to be looking forward to it because I still don’t know how it will all end.

Hang on tight, because things are going to get very dark before we get to the end of our story. Dong-tak and Su-chang have a few more secrets to uncover before they can even think about saving Su-chang’s life, and time is quickly running out. But they’ve learned some important lessons about themselves during their ordeal, and no matter what happens, they’ve both become better people for having known each other.

 

 

 

EPISODE 31 RECAP

 

TwoCops31-32-00001.jpg

 

 

 

Confused, Su-chang asks Dong-tak why Jae-hee said he was responsible for the accident sixteen years ago. His eyes fill with tears as he asks Dong-tak if it’s true, and Dong-tak says that if what he did means he’s at fault, then yes, he caused the accident.

 

Su-chang says in disbelief, “So it’s all because of you… the accident that happened, that my dad died, and that I’m here in this state?†Dong-tak can only say that he’s sorry, hanging his head as Su-chang begs him to deny it.

 

When Dong-tak stays silent, Su-chang sobs that he should have just lied to him after everything they’ve done together. He wails, “What am I supposed to do now, you son of a bitch?!â€

EPISODE 32 RECAP

 

TwoCops31-32-00310.jpg TwoCops31-32-00313.jpg

 

 

 

Su-chang rides with Dong-tak as he goes to meet with Chief Prosecutor Tak. They find themselves in an abandoned building, where by several burly lackeys tie Dong-tak to a chair in front of Chief Prosecutor Tak and Soo-ah. Soo-ah takes the lighter and gives it to Chief Prosecutor Tak.

 

Now that he’s given Chief Prosecutor Tak what he wants, Dong-tak demands his friend back, but Chief Prosecutor Tak chuckles at the idea of a detective and a con man being friends. He asks Soo-ah if she “got rid of him†and she nods, making Dong-tak gasp that this wasn’t the deal.

 

He notes that this isn’t Chief Prosecutor Tak’s usual method, which is to cover things up until they become dangerous. Chief Prosecutor Tak agrees that he ignored Chairman Jo’s corruption just once, and Dong-tak asks how he framed Detective Song.

 

 

 

TwoCops31-32-00329.jpg

 

 

 

We flash back to the night that Detective Song confronted Chief Prosecutor Tak with the recording that he’d been hiding. He’d said he didn’t want to be an embarrassment to Ji-an, and that he was going to turn in the recording that Su-chang and Dong-tak worked so hard to get.

 

Chief Prosecutor Tak had grabbed for the recorder, and in the struggle, he’d pushed Detective Song out of the unfinished building to his death. Below, the taxi driver Kim Jong-doo watched in horror, but his shock had turned into a greedy smile when he saw Chief Prosecutor Tak.

 

In the present, Chief Prosecutor Tak tells Dong-tak that pushing Detective Song was an impulse, but that he never regretted it. Su-chang gleefully asks Dong-tak if they’re done. Wait, what now?

 

 

 

TwoCops31-32-00376.jpg TwoCops31-32-00378.jpg

 

 

 

Dong-tak just laughs, which has Chief Prosecutor Tak scrambling to open the lighter. He finds the recorder inside, and when he plays it, he realizes that the audio is damaged.

 

Dong-tak confirms that the important parts have been destroyed, but he and Su-chang still look smug. We see that Dong-tak’s plan was to make Chief Prosecutor Tak confess while holding the lighter… which has been fitted with a tiny camera. Chief Prosecutor Tak shakes with rage as he realizes that he just confessed directly to the police.

 

Dong-tak confirms that the lighter just recorded Chief Prosecutor Tak admitting to everything. Chief Prosecutor Tak turns on his phone and checks the news to find Ji-an reporting on his confession live in progress. That is so awesome.

 

 

 

TwoCops31-32-00391.jpg TwoCops31-32-00398.jpg

 

 

 

Stunned, Chief Prosecutor Tak drops the lighter, but he refuses to admit that it’s over. He asks Soo-ah for one last favor, and she pulls her knife. Dong-tak attempts to stall, telling Chief Prosecutor Tak to kill him himself if he wants him dead, but Soo-ah approaches Dong-tak and swings her arm back.

 

But she freezes when Chief Prosecutor Tak says that he’s meant to do great things, and killing is what Soo-ah was born to do. She looks stricken as Dong-tak asks her, “Now do you see what the man you were so loyal to made you do?†She turns to look at Chief Prosecutor Tak when he asks her again to do this favor, and with tears in her eyes, she utters a single word: “No.â€

COMMENTS

 

What a great finale, chock-full of action and suspense and even a few more surprises for good measure. I had a feeling that the ending would be worth waiting for, and I wasn’t disappointed. Chief Prosecutor Tak’s takedown was so satisfying, the way he was tricked into confessing live on television with the whole country watching. It felt like proper revenge for the lives he ruined, and the best part was the rejection from Jae-hee, the very person he claimed to have done it all for. I still bemoan the way Two Cops unnecessarily lagged in the middle — it’s a damn shame, because the beginning was strong and the ending even stronger. I know it’s a matter of opinion and many will disagree, but as pure entertainment and exciting storytelling go, this one ranks pretty highly for me.

 

​

 

 

Once again, I really applaud Two Cops for doing a great job at keeping its cards close to the vest, and for the way it doled out surprises until the very end. I genuinely believed that Chief Prosecutor Tak didn’t know about the killings that Soo-ah was doing on his behalf, only to learn that not only did he know, but that he specifically chose and groomed her for that purpose. That shows a chilling propensity for forethought and a ruthless willingness to use people to his own ends. I’m incredibly impressed with Choi Il-hwa’s performance here, because he really kept me guessing right up until the full truth was revealed.

 

One of my favorite things about the show is how it portrayed its characters not as absolutes, but as fallible people whose paths were shaped by those around them. Su-chang and Dong-tak had very similar childhoods, both of them losing their parents traumatically at a young age and becoming delinquents as a result. The only difference is that Dong-tak met someone who told him he could do better, while Su-chang was left without a positive influence, at least until he met Dong-tak. Soo-ah was warped by Chief Prosecutor Tak, who saw a potential for violence in her and instead of teaching her to be a good person, he nurtured and encouraged that side of her.

 

TwoCops31-32-00467.jpg

 

Even Chief Prosecutor Tak became twisted out of love for his son, going so far as to ruin at least one young child’s life and using her to end the lives of others. There must have been some good in him or he wouldn’t have raised a strong, decent man like Jae-hee, but he was so blinded by his need to protect Jae-hee from one bad decision in his youth that he was willing to go to any lengths, even murder. Luckily, Soo-ah was given the chance to redeem herself in the end, helping to put the true murderer away and almost sacrificing herself in the process.

 

Su-chang definitely stands out as my favorite character from Two Cops, and not just because he’s cheeky and endearing (although goodness knows, he is both of those things). As cheerful and upbeat as he appears on the outside, he’s actually a very tragic character because despite having been portrayed as the “bad guy†con man at the outset, Su-chang actually turned out to be a person who was horribly wronged. He was orphaned through no fault of his own, his father branded as a killer, and as a result he wasn’t able to realize his own dream of being a detective. Then on top of everything else he’s put into a coma and forced to beg for help to the one person least willing to help him. He felt so helpless throughout his 49-day ordeal, relying on others to solve the mystery and get him back into his body. And yet he never lost his optimism, or his belief that everything would be set right and he’d get his life back.

 

I didn’t talk much about the bromance between Su-chang and Dong-tak in previous recaps, mostly because they never really cemented their friendship until this final episode. I always loved the way they bantered and bickered, and how that bickering morphed over time from antagonistic, to harmless, and finally to affectionate. Their teamwork was fantastic once they learned to trust each other, and I was really touched when everything culminated in their each being willing to sacrifice themselves so the other could live.

 

That’s ultimately why Su-chang survived and woke up — because Dong-tak was ready to trade his life for Su-chang’s, after the way he altered it for the worse when they were kids. He didn’t offer up his own life because he felt he owed it to Su-chang, or because he was guilty, but simply because he cares for Su-chang more than himself. And Su-chang passed his test by choosing to do the unselfish thing, and being willing to die for Dong-tak. They each made up for their past actions in that one choice, which felt fitting and right for them both. I’m so happy that they were able to mend their fences and make plans to be real partners, just like Hang-joon always wanted for them. I only wish I could be there to see the shenanigans that Su-chang and Dong-tak manage to get up to in the future, because if one thing is certain, it’s that their lives as partners will never be boring.
