The Homicide Investigation Team (H.I.T.) led by Cha Soo Kyung was established to investigate the case of a serial killer. The other four members were assigned from different precincts and when they first started, they all have their own ulterior motives and none of them was confortable with working as a team or trusted each other. Added to the mix, a rookie prosecutor Kim Jae Yoon was sent by the District Attorney's Office to keep an eye on the police's work. This drama depicts how cases were solved and how the members evolved into really working as a team.

I freakin' loved this drama. Totally out of this world. The action was great. The story and sub stories had substance. The love was believable. I loved the cat-and-mouse games. The thrillers were thrilling.

I loved the acting and the actors who played the parts. Such a wonderful drama. I'm so glad I made myself watch it. I wasn't actually sure what I was headed into. But dang, if it didn't surprise me.

I really don't know what to say except that anyone who is reading my blog has got to see this! No " ands, ifs or buts".

You'll totally fall for it.

The film opens with Jeong Ju, a thirty year old girl working a dead end job as a fashion assistant whose life is going nowhere, apparently due to the fact that she was betrayed back in high school by her supposed sweetheart Jo Hani, who has since gone on to become a famous singer. Fortunately for her, one day her Microsoft Windows, instead of crashing, offers her the chance to travel back in time to try and persuade her past self to take a different route.
Magically transported back to 1994, Jeong Ju poses as her cousin Alice, and quickly insinuates herself into the life of her teen self (played by actress Jo An, also in “Holiday”). Jeong Ju hopes to change the future by persuading the younger Jeong Ju to switch her affections from the vain, floppy-fringed ladies man Jo (Lee Joong Moon) to a socially inept, though kind hearted nerd called Tae Hoon, who she happens to know will grow up to be a multimillionaire in the future.


Ehh. This movie was okay. I saw all the reviews from other viewers and thought this would be a great one. It didn't trip my trigger. It was cute and all but not loveable worthy. Even the eye-candy didn't help.

With all the time travel you'd think there would have been changes in the future. It didn't happen. I thought that was weird so it was hard for me to comprehend the value of this movie. Yes, I understand that she learned a great deal of Tae-hoon and that changed how she felt in the future but I felt other things should have changed too. Yes, I saw what the movie was about...how her future with Tae-hoon changed. Maybe I expected toooooooo much and got toooooooo little out of it.

As for my usual postings of eye-candy. I couldn't really find good ones of Yoo Geon but have never had Lee Jung Mun posted yet. And, of course, he's practically new so his picture value is little. This was the only decent picture of him I could find. I'm sure I could have found more but it's early in the morning and I've yet to get my caffeine fix. Sorry.
