OST

Some people have been asking about the main OST for the drama so here it is:

상처 (Hurt) by Kim Young Jin (김용진) [Bohemian]

The new OST, I believe it is supposed to be the theme song for Shi Hyun and Soo Min (it is really melancholic, I am going to be preparing my box of kleenex for future episodes):

나비 (Butterfly) by Hyelim

JK! Lol. I have seen more scandalous scenes from my telenovelas. I was just surprised we got a scene like this in a k-drama, I know it's on cable but considering they blur out knives, it's kind of unexpected.







WTF at the end of episode 10. That is not the reality I want. At this point who is not undercover? It is pretty much confirmed that Safari is an undercover agent by the preview for episode 11. I do wonder though why he gave the order to kill Commissioner Kang unless Commissioner Min initially instructed him to do so. And whose side is Commissioner Min really on? It is a complete waste of resources having under cover agents fighting each other. Drama do not let me down.

Thank you for "Hurt"! I love when it comes on during the episodes :P

I thought Safari was bullshitting, but that means he's been undercover for a really long time then. Is Hyun Soo undercover as well? His conversation with that guy confused me and I was left thinking "wtf!"
All of them telling each other to leave and get out of the business just makes it more sad.

The kiss/sex scene(s) were everything I didn't know I wanteddddddddddd. The zoo scenes had me rolling until Shi Hyun showed up. Her outfit was ridic, and her feet must have been in hell.

I need the next episode. I need to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2cutelena.livejournal.com]

yes. also why did she use none of that taekwondo we saw her learn? her whole outfit was so inconspicuous and them shoes were hella ridic.

[tenshi-no-koi.livejournal.com]

Yup, it made seeing her learn all of that pretty pointless and we've seen her fight before, so we know she's good. She was the only person in all black until Shi Hyun showed up, which made her stand out to me. Those shoes in a zoo? No, just nooooooooooooooooo!

[joong-ki.livejournal.com]

I thought so too but then I saw the preview for episode 11 and I disappointed. I don't think Soo is undercover but then again everybody seems to be so you never know.

I couldn't with Soo Min. She made it way too obvious, you do not wear that to a zoo ever. I was also expecting better from her, they made her seem way too weak just so that Shi Hyun could conveniently save her.

[tenshi-no-koi.livejournal.com]

When Soo was talking to that guy something was said about Shi Hyun knowing what you're doing, and something about him being disappointed. I assumed it could be him undercover, it's not the first time he's met with that same guy who is a cop.
Their friendship will be broken if they're both not undercover ;A;

Ikr? I was laughing but frustrated with her at the same time. And her back-pack was orange. She might as well wear a neon sign with that ensemble! I wish she had been owning that fight, so then when he showed up he could be like, "woah, she's a badass who can handle herself, cool beans!" The writers are half-assing a strong female lead. She was doing so well until then, so well.

[joong-ki.livejournal.com]

I forgot about that. They need to stop doing that. I don't think they need more people undercover because they're already fighting each other as it is. I don't mind rooting for Soo if he is actually a bad guy, I will be sad about their friendship but I believe in SH.

They really are. She had so much potential until that scene. I hope the writers redeem her character and just leave it as first time nerves because SH does not deserve a weak female lead.

I also thought Safari was bs-ing. just saw the preview for episode 11. very disappointing. watch everyone be an undercover cop lol..

[tenshi-no-koi.livejournal.com]

I hope not!! Someone has to go to jail in the end! There are a few bad guys left to be put in the slammer, but they're in with the cops... :\

[2cutelena.livejournal.com]

i ship doctor's son/soo so hard. the bromances always get me. still indifferent to soo-min and starting to like harvey dent with deaf fiancé chief dude. err body a cop so the cops have been chasing each other while the real baddies lie in wait...? i wish all the people from the drug world (ds, safari, etc) were legit ant-hero baddies that we couldn't help but root for. i hate these literal cop outs.

[inurbed.livejournal.com]

Omg Op i was waiting for this.
Can we all talk about how HOT HOT that love scene was.
Safari being undercover was a total shock but i feel that he is not really on the cop side of things.
Also i really hope they don't make Jin Sook be in love with Doctor's Son

[joong-ki.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the long wait, I had been marathoning another drama and I had forgotten that I hadn't submitted this post. I had been working on it all week too. ^^.

I really liked the way they did that scene. He was so gentle and sweet (why did he have to leave money behind!). I found another good gifset of that scene (http://dramalentils.tumblr.com/post/54003921167).

I don't think he is either. I think he has been corrupted, it is difficult/impossible to remain upright if you've been undercover for that long. Shi Hyun is struggling keeping himself sane as it is and he has only been undercover for 8 years.

I really hope so too. It seems creepy to me since she practically raised him up. I think she prolly feels confused about her feelings for him, he is the only man in her life that has yet to betray her (I am pretty sure she doesn't know he's undercover yet).

[inurbed.livejournal.com]

I think the money was his way of saying even though i care about her let me act like i don't.
I reblog like 4 different gift set of that scene.

Yea i think he is def corrupt. I just can't wait for the big blowup with him & Doctor's Son.

Can you imagine the total heartbreak when she finds out he is a cop. Awww. Plus i am hoping her & Soo Min relationship can last.

[twinkystar16.livejournal.com]

love doctor's son-soo min's love scene

[timtamtom.livejournal.com]

So are there actually any baddies in this show at all??? Or are they all undercover cops!? LOL

By the way, I'm totally confused about Undercover Girl Cop's feelings. Is she in love with Doctor's Son or Mr-I-don't-care-about-anyone-but-myself Hyung Min? Or both? Can I advise her that Mr Annoying Cop is the better choice... purely because that would leave Doctor's Son for me!!!!

[neurotyp3.livejournal.com]

I should get in line.I think she meant Park Sa, not bad hair cop.She might have had a crush on him, but now she probably needs his presence because he reminds her of unni.

[inurbed.livejournal.com]

She had a crush on him since the first time since her unni introduced him but then she found out they were actually dating.
As neurotyp3 I also think he reminds her of her unni

[neurotyp3.livejournal.com]

The ending scene will be that of one of Soo Min's circle lenses rolling into a puddle of Hyung Min's blud while Park Sa goes all out baddie and becomes the new Pusan.Or, I wish.Pheh, it's Infernal Affairs(I - III) all over.At this rate of revelations, Pusan will probably be the head of Anti-narcotics.

But on a positive note, notice how BAMF all the female characters are?Even Soo Min in her own way has steel running through her.

[islandgurl84.livejournal.com]

I'm just here for that epic open mouth kiss between Shi Hyun bb and Soo Min. Drooling! And Soo Min's secret love that won't materialize is her eonnie's boyfriend Hung Min?! I love the love square dead eonnie cop + Hyung Min, dead eonnie cop + Shi Hyun now Shi Hyun + Soo Min and Soo Min + Hyung Min but he doesn't know it! I don't know whether I love the whole undercover cops running the Korean drug ring theme or the crazy love square of Cruel City more.Whatever, just give me more of it!

[asth77.livejournal.com]

K now can Soo Min disappear please thanks. I can't stand her useless character and her awkward acting. ESP in the middle of actors who are 10x more talented than her and in a story that doesn't need Romance.
She's SO ruinning it for me don't make me regret watching this drama Nam Gyu Ri!

Seriously, Jung Kyung Ho in Heartless City is like Joo Sang Wook in Special Affairs Team, they both found the best role ever in their careers. A+ choice guys.


Except Special Affairs Team is better... Anyway, Heartless City = not very logic but awesome directing & great casting (except Nam Gyru Ri and this idiot who plays her sister's fiancé). The relationship between Baksa Adeul/Soo/Safari/Jin Sook... Damn.

I mean :

[love4movies.livejournal.com]

Soo Min will become the deciding factor in this drama. Quite likely she will bring Shi-hyun down. (I'm not fan of Nam Gyu Ri, but she manages to surprise me in a positive way here. I almost didn't watch CC due to her, so I'm pleasantly surprised as I expected nothing of her and she is better than I feared. Sometimes you just have to cherish the little things.)

Agree 100% about Baksa Adeul/Soo/Safari/Jin Sook. This quadrangle is soooo good.

[asth77.livejournal.com]

you are pleasantly surprised?? Even with the way the character is written?
Personnally I think she's exactly as I expected her to be...
Yes, I wish there wasn't any romance to begin with, and I wish she wasn't an important character. Her plotline is so badly written.

[love4movies.livejournal.com]

You can imagine now how low my expectations were. ;)
Her character is not the best, but so is a huge part of the show who is in danger now to turn makjang.

Nam Gyu Ri is one of those actresses that dehumanized her face by PS. Her owlish eyes make it really hard for me to watch her. But somehow I am able to ignore it here. Either her make-up is better or Baksa Adeul outshines everything.

(Han Chae Young is one of those operated actresses I just can't watch. When I look at her I always feel like I have to rub my eyes due to her looking like she's got an eye infection. Weird I know, but it adds to being pleasantly surprised by Gyu Ri, because I don't feel like that during CC.)

[asth77.livejournal.com]

I think Baksa Adeul is the best lol
Uhm Jung Hwa is one of those actresses as well... Except I think she's an amazing actress even with the surgery, idk how she does. With less surgery she would have been even better.

[love4movies.livejournal.com]

Have seen Uhm Jung Hwa only in Changing Partners so far, but really liked her. Pretty much every actress got her eyes done nowadays(why, oh, why?!), we are unfortunately used to it, but sometimes something goes wrong and the actress aka owl is burned for me.

Baksa Adeul rocks!

I'm not watching this drama but came into the post just cause I was curious. Seems from the comments that it has a lot of people that like the drama, I might check it out some time.
Those ost songs are absolutely amazing though!! Both of them are really gorgeous.

[p3rk3le.livejournal.com]

a. i love the ost!! Hurt just... waaah.
b. i SHIP Doc and Soomin soooooo hard!!!! their chemistry is steaming! then again both actors have chemistry with everyone. still butthurt Nam Gyuri and Scheduler didnt happen
c. i like the story a lot, but like op said, i mean whats with undercover agents fighting each other? this is either REALLY smart or REALLY stupid!
d. the BROMANCE with Soo and Doc..... damn.
