I can't remember how I came across this drama, but I'm sure glad I did! ;D
So,what's this drama about?
Sa Do Chan is a professional con-man. He and his rag tag bunch will do elaborate "settings" in order to con people of large sums of money. One day, Sa Do Chan decided to disguise himself as a prosecutor and did a big con job. Unbeknown to him, there was actually a real prosecutor by the name of Baek Joon Soo who looks exactly like him! XD
The latest con job victim was a gangster and had decided to hunt Sa Do Chan down. So he continued pretending to be the real prosecutor and went to the prosecutor's building. It was there when another prosecutor named Oh Ha Ra played along and rescued him from the gangsters.
Prosecutor Oh recruited Sa Do Chan to be a replacement of the real Prosecutor Baek Joon Soo who was involved in an accident and currently in a coma. Sa Do Chan refused at first but when he saw Prosecutor Baek unconscious he agreed to help them out.
The rest of the story goes on with Sa Do Chan teaming up with Prosecutor Oh to uncover the powerful underground organisation who deals with drugs and smuggling expensive relics. The mastermind behind it all goes by the nickname "Brown Bear" and it turns out that Sa Do Chan has been looking for him all these years because he believed that Brown Bear killed his father.
Overall thoughts
It's an exciting drama with lots of "Switches"... Haha, yes identity switches between Sa Do Chan and Prosecutor Baek. Although played by the same actor, I think he did a great job between switching characters.
Best parts of the drama
Definitely the interior of Sa Do Chan's penthouse! The first penthouse he was staying with his gang had lots of cool stuff including a pac-man gaming machine, life size Ironman figure and funky pop decor...
After the first penthouse was raided by Brown Bear's men, Sa Do Chan moved to another penthouse but it's not as nice as the first though... :( But I think it's actually the same set, they just remodelled it only! Haha! You can see the same pendant lights being used here....
Sa Do Chan's con man team of course... they remind me of Mad dog team as well...
The Faberge egg exhibition was really nice... it's so pretty!
Conclusion
As with most dramas of such it does have a happy ending. :D It may seem dodgy at some point on how they managed to nab Brown Bear and nail him with all the charges... It has to take Brown Bear's real son who turned against him and put him behind bars. Similar to Chief Kim kind of story line where the son becomes good...
There isn't any romance in this drama as well. I actually love that they don't have any cheesy romance scenes. :D Sorry not sorry! However, there are some tease scenes between Sa Do Chan and Prosecutor Oh during the time they spent together. Their ending is an open ending, where they part ways on good terms...
I absolutely love the famous line from this show," The biggest fraud is to capture someone's heart..." which is really true.. XD
And another thing which I absolutely love about this drama is Sa Do Chan!! Hahaha!! He's really so badass... I love his character here so much. <333 This is the first drama I've seen this actor in and he's got me hooked! ;DD I shall leave you here with this badass hottie... See you again real soon!
