H.I.T (Homicide Investigation Team) - (3.5)

A serial killer was on the loose, in response to the media frenzy the police department set up a team fully focused on catching the killer. The Commissioner wishing the team would fail, pull together problematic detectives to form the team. The team was called H.I.T (Homicide Investigation Team led by Cha Soo Kyung (Go Hyun Jung). Soo Kyung's fiancee was murdered 14 years ago while chasing a serial killer, so she was bent on catching this serial killer whom she thought was the same killer that killed her fiancee.

The members of her team consists of Kim Jae Yoon (Ha Jung Woo) a handsome (he's cuter when he smile, rather than making a serious face) but just graduating prosecutor from the DA's Office, Kang Ol Ha (Choi Il Hwa) the veteren detective who was sued many times for using brutal force, Kim Il Joo (Jung Dong Jin) the handsome detetctive but the commissioner's spy, Shim Jong Geum (Kim Jung Tae) a bit crooked detective who use his connection with the petty criminals to gain financial benefits for himself and the honest-straight-arrow albeit slow Nam Sung Sik (Dong Suk).

Mistrust and selfish pursuit threatened to pull the team apart at the start but soon they began to understand each other and thus trust each other. Each team member contributes different strentgth and strategies in solving the cases they had been given.

What differentiate this from other korean drama, hmmm...maybe because it didnt focus on the two leading actor and actress lovelife. And eventhough like typical korean drama has its love triangle or rectangle, the clapping-with-only-one-hand-person was not mean that they would do anything to get their love, in here they bow away gracefully and accept it was not meant to be.

I really like the way Kim Jae Yoo describe Soo Kyung relationship with Kim Young Doo (Kim Jung Min), "A man who lost his friend, a woman who lost her lover, cherished and cared for each other, an yet couldnt let their feelings for each other develop into love because of feelings of loyalty to the dead friend and lover, but still they care deeply for each other". How I wish that at the end Kim Young Doo will end up with Jung In Hee (Yoon Ji Min), Jae Yoo's bestfriend..... I hate to see nice people don't have their own happy ending.......

There's a soundtrack that I like in this drama, the translation goes like this:

You want me to understand you *

you said that you'll never regret *

using these words to throw me away *

Now i have to forget you... *

the person who's only being cold towards me *

the cruel person who didnt want to open her heart for me *

that cold person that i love *

the person that i love so much *

the person that i miss so much *

its a simple lyrics, but it just make me think about what true love is, that you would stick to a person no matter if it makes you miserable, even if that person is cruel to you. You just cant let go. but is that true love or plain stupidity?
