Lee Jin Wook as Kang Su-Ho
Good Drama.. Had some comic moments, had a bit of romance.. and a fair bit of action. Only one 'yell-at-the-screen moment for me.. it was the thought that that 'bad guy' somehow t-ported out of that room, because really, that was pretty much the only way he was likely to get away without sprouting several new body vents for the effort...well I guess its also possible if all the guards gasped and dropped their weaponry at the same time. -.- It was a clear case of "Girl Chooses Neither".

A female bodyguard and her class rival are teamed up to protect the son of the prez.. a free-wheeling, immature, playboy, with a chip o the past on his shoulder for the girl's partner.

I think that scene is a parallel of the hotel scene where the prez' son escapes the bodyguards in the ballroom after the female bodyguard (Young Jin) trips and falls and the male bodyguard (Gwan Pil) goes to her assistance, abandoning his post. Here I think it is implied that Gwan Pil goes to help Young Jin and leaves the door behind him unblocked, and the other bodyguards hesitate to shoot with their colleague in the firing line.

It plays on their conversation that if the two start to care about each other, it may lead to a failure of duty... just an idea...
