My second viewing of this series, one of the finest KDramas with a great cast of among the best Korean actors, also excellent writing and directing. I love both MLs and their carefully developed characters, but want to give a shout out to the FL, Nam Sang Mi, who handles all the wrist-grabbing and emotional and physical manhandling from these gorgeous but twice-her-size guys with grace and toughness. Also, the central bad guy is definitely a dangerous thug, but with moments of humanity that make him much more complex than usually seen in these plots. This series is relatively early in the Korean Wave, but the use of the dreaded amnesia trope is central this time and works well. Strong recommendation for South Korean crime series at its best.

The Time Between Dog and Wolf is the twilight hour when it becomes difficult to distinguish between good and evil, or friends from enemies. This series is a wise guy spy thriller of the first order. The script is tight and fast paced, the acting superb, and the photography is most excellent. The acting and character development for a very interesting grouping of supporting characters is excellent. One even begins to like the bad guy. Actor Lee Joon Ki's (Le Grand Chef, Sweet Spy) portrayal of the conflicted NIS (National Intelligence Service) agent Suhyun/Kay, a spy who finds himself accepted as a son by his gangland Triad boss is one to be remembered. This show is well populated with a host of very memorable and well developed characters. On location filming in Thailand and Korea adds considerably to the gritty underworld reality of the film. Directed by Jin Min Kim. The very good English subtitle work by David Bannon makes this film very watchable for the non Korean speaking viewer. This series is so good that I unreservedly recommended it most highly. If you enjoy superior quality viewing entertainment then this belongs in your collection.

OMG Lee Joon Gi here was super handsome and cool. I loved Kay character so much, Joon Gi can just act with only his eyes.
