[1945011Score] another for TVN. No, I have not a fan of every single show they have been produced, but they certainly do to a high track record in the production of well-made dramas, especially in this Monday-Tuesday-Rom-Com slot. School King of Savvy succeeded, a dexterous Intro to its smooth double-identity comedy act, but it also managed to sneak in a dose of poignancy that I did not expect that I really enjoyed. For an episode to be, it is quite impressive that the show every one of his characters like me managed to make, too. I have good feelings about the show, so I hope it stays that solid. ! Fingers crossed

EPISODE 1 RECAP
After a nice opening states that efficient from the central conceit of the show (high schooler as Executive moonlighting, shenanigans!), open to us a helicopter flying over Seoul and lands on a private helipad. the young professional who bear suit by an entourage of experts welcomes is gets out, we alerted to the fact that he is a serious hotshot not only entrepreneurs here.
he will of men saluted much older than him and called director Lee-er Chief Lee Hyung-SEOK, a the two roles played by Seo In-gook . Hyung-seok takes the praise for the work and takes part in the company headquarters, a stretch limo for Comfo Inc., where he is showered with more praise of Comfo President
[1945011beijedemSchrittdesWeges], his secretary, JUNG SOO-YOUNG ( Lee Hana ) whispers, memories to keep. it on the ball. Hyung-Seok keeps his cool facade in place until they are alone, and it is then all running ropes scramble. He has to change 25 minutes until his next appointment, and tugging at his clothes as they run.
A Superman-esque swirl later at the turnstiles, and he suddenly dressed in high school uniforms aha, so this was our hero, LEE MIN SEOK, the younger Brothers.
Min-seok takes off in a sprint and Secretary Soo-young calls reminders and encouragement to him.
(Note: Here is where the cold open ends, and there is no evidence of a jump time, but based on subsequent events, we can assume we have the time jumped back to see, as this double life came to be. I looked for the next 15 minutes we go forward and came across a serious moment of confusion, as you can imagine.)
we are open on the ice again, with min-seok in hockey equipment and squaring off against the opposing team on the ice dressed. He is the star of his team, intercepting passes and shoot goals. The coach warns the team fouls to guard and keep for Min-seok especially his cool.
As predicted, the game in the second half is more violent, and Min-seok is bothered mainly by the other team. Despite his assurance that he is no more hotheaded child, Min-seok in the shortest time screams his head and must be retained by the referee.
One of his cheerleaders working, so high that they rinkside pushes its way and swears by the opponent ( "call yourself a man?!"), Arguing with the referee. The coach and other players do not interfere, but her older sister Soo-young to take steps out of the game their way. So the younger sister is is Min-seok's fangirl JUNG YOO-AH ( Lee Yeol-eum ), and the older sister is Min-seok future accomplice and Secretary Soo-jung.
Min-seok teammates have to take him to attack to keep him to go to the other team, and Soo-jung takes a similar maneuver her little sister down ,
The trainer punishes the recalcitrant team for the fight, and he asks, exasperated by Min-seok violent girlfriend. Min-seok protests that Yoo-ah is not his girlfriend, she is more like a stalker.
Pretty much. In school, Yoo-ah allocates basically to Min-seok whereabouts and blends crushed by hand between him and a couple of younger girls. She calls him husband Lee and chastises him flirting with other girls and not reporting his movements to her. It is rather bossy (in a nice way), although take Min-seok and his two friends with weary acceptance of their presence.
Yoo-ah harassed Min-seok with her to go to the movies, take away his food and nagging until he tells her to keep with their fists. She does, and he places the bowl cup Ramyun on them, they immobilize effective because it is still half full of hot soup. (Ha! They stole entirely that of Jealousy , the original trendy drama from the 0s.)
Min-seok father to inform him, demands that his older brother finally comes today back home to the last eight years to spend the evening in Germany. ask His friends, how is it possible for aged brothers ten years apart to look like twins, and Min-seok wonders how it is possible for the brothers to be looking like twins, so different in brains. As in, Hyung Hyung-Seok got all.
future secretary Soo-young is currently working with the Comfo retail team, and her colleagues about the beautiful young project director that they are gossips all fishing for. Soo-jung is diligent and learned and remains to be confirmed after a fax while checking their colleagues in the office. So it is the only order if the project team director, YOO JIN-WOO ( Lee Soo-Hyuk ), calls with a request to see a contract.
Soo-young practically does one dance of joy, to get a chance to see him face to face. However, to bring in their haste the document to Jin-woo office, they hear misses that their fax will not come through, uh-oh. You primps furiously on their way to the lipstick smeared would be applied indiscriminately.
Jin-woo is in the middle of an angry business call, and he read, holding a memo for them. They met and pretended to be his secretary, reporting on the latest development with a contract, and that gives the leverage Jin-woo on his caller to swear and to apply pressure on the project.
Jin-woo praises Soo-young for to think quickly on their feet and takes note of her name. He reminds them of their interdepartmental dinner tomorrow, and she is in a happy daze.
At a Comfo employees airport waits big bro Hyung-Seok to pick the target, but wonders why he does not appear. Hyung-Seok luggage is the only one who is still waiting on the carousel, its owner, but he is nowhere to be seen.
At home Soo-jung reads about the impact on pheromones, go the extra mile to embellish tried, but since it is not their usual routine, it ends with strange hair and some wrong ideas. Little Sis Yoo-ah-tsk TSKS that it is unni abnormal.
Min-seok goes home with the modest life he shares with his warmhearted dry cleaners father, but not his bio father turns out the driver who had once visited to Min-seok father. His father has since passed away, and it is this man, Choi Jang-ho, who now acts as the de facto father. Min-seok lives with Jang-ho and Jang-ho of senile father, but as she Min-seok Papa and Grandpa called, so I
is the hard Dad has prepared is cold while waiting to go for Hyung-seok. Papas clearly disappointed, and so is Min-seok, the Hyung gets a raw punk. Min-seok told Dad he to become soft-hearted and always claimed, but Dad bickers, the Min-seok is too coarse.
they belatedly realize that Grandpa has migrated, and Min-seok scoured the area until he finds him with a ajumma fighting over a candy bar. Min-seok takes Grandpa home, saying that he came to get the candy for Hyung-Seok, who likes chocolate. Aw.
Min-seok hopefully looks up when a taxi pulls into the area, then turns into disappointment away if it is just a random ajusshi. Still no Hyung.
is at the Comfo offices, our shark-like project director Jin-woo always worth investing terminated by the Assistant to the President for effective contract, probably praised on the last night phone gadgetry. It is clear that the president did not dislike Jin-woo himself, however, and it ignores Jin-woo and asks instead Hyung-Seok. Ah, so we have two camps, go here, and the president is on Hyung-Seok page.
So Hyung-Seok continuing absence is a matter of increasing concern for the Comfo execs who had scouted him. The team leader Kim retail department is antsy to get a hold of him and arches from the company dinner with this problem to cope.
The ladies of the retail team now have more time to take all primp before the meeting with the Director Hottie. Everyone benefits when Jin-woo appears in the restaurant, and Soo-jung gets super excited when it occurs before their seats and greeted by name. It's a little embarrassing, they get so excited about the "signals" he see in her to send his interest, but it is also really sweet and who among us has not been there?
Positive that his sympathy means it in her his interest has stated Soo-jung tugs on her nerves and follows him in the room the men . Oh my God. He takes her curiosity in transition, and when they slipped on the tile, Jin-woo catches them smoothly.
He asks if she's okay, and Soo-young blurts "I like you! I've always liked you since I joined the company" and Aieeee, I take it back, it's not nice at all very embarrassing, stop iiiiiiit stop.
unflappable Jin-woo says only that it is not the case for him, and asking them politely to leave these feelings behind. Cruuuuush.
And so, Soo-jung is roaring drunk on juice boxes of alcohol in a supermarket exactly what arrives me right there. * Heart zap * Not that I ever get ugly drunk in a 7-Eleven, but I feel their pain. She whips out her phone Jin-woo (nooooo) call, apologized for their behavior and howling at about pheromones.
While leaving a message on the bus, Min-seok steps aboard and overheard her (or twenty) in great length about these pheromones and courtship signals apologetically. She wears her cell phone battery down, and therefore calls for the use of Min-seok of the phone, so that they continue to, and he amused when she finally enveloped the lengthy message.
But Soo-jung is off to its stop using his mobile phone in his hand, Min-seok has a window to throw in its efforts to catch up with her. Fortunately this is not too hard, because it is doubled in front of a building. He takes his cell phone, but can not bring all about themselves, they leave a deep sleep on the street, and tried to wake them without success.
So Min-seok calls the number to Soo-jung call had, and explains Jin-woo that she is drunk in a seedy neighborhood. He leaves the address and says "One-Sided Crush You" to decide what to do, to be released from further responsibility.
I am relieved that Jin Woo is not a complete ass because he changes course deal with the Soo-jung situation. It is completely zonked out and unresponsive, so he has no luck figuring out where she lives, and we see that around the corner, Min-seok will depend, remained to have safe Crush man would emerge. Aw. I love these characters already.
Min-seok comes home to find a visitor, as team leader Kim, who jumps up and calls him Hyung-Seok, before it is not the brother realized. Now get the family a clue that anything was wrong because Hyung-Seok confirmed by team manager Kim that he was on his way to the airport. Team leader Kim leaves with the request, the time-Hyung Seok to inform him contacts home. Nevertheless, while worries Papa and the police will call, Min-seok tells him to wait.
That night, Min-seok finally gets word of Hyung who calls from a limited number and tells him to listen in an urgent tone. "You have to help me," he instructed. "Go to my office and act like me, just for a while. I'll explain later, but you have to go."
Min-seok protests, but Hyung is persistent and reminds him that they have the only blood ties. This works, and Min-seok thinks back to his childhood, when his father had raged him to cut school, alluding to a horrible family (read: financial) situation. He had driven off in his car ... and into a lake to kill herself.
The company had gone bankrupt, and there was gossip that he was trying to make it look like an accident his suicide his family, to give the insurance money. Mom had collapsed and died soon after, and then in (Jang-ho) Dad to study nursing abroad Min-seok left Hyung had while Min-seok had sobbed for him not to leave him. Ah, well, that explains the combination of hero worship and resentment in Min-seok attitude towards his brother.
Hyung-Seok adds, that he is in a "very difficult situation" and asks him for a few days to keep the trick. "You are the only one that I have," Hyung-Seok said. "I do not have much time. I have to go. I trust in you."
Morning Soo-jung wakes to find himself in a foreign luxury apartment. The events of last night through her mind flashing and scolds himself for calling after her embarrassing display Jin-woo. She reads the harsh note he left her, asked her to take her farewell as he went for his training.
Unfortunately, before they can leave, someone comes to the door. It is Comfo the President Yoo, who just ... even lets in? And if Jin-woo arrives, he speaks the president as a father.
hadPresident Yoo Jin-woo barks sent for his mother, who had lived abroad. In hiding, as it seems, because Jin-woo his father assured that they stay in a nursing home out of sight. President Yoo says that his mother is identified, and asks if Jin-woo means to stir up things for him and "revenge".
Jin-woo meek hangs his head and takes the tirade while Soo-jung, the opening receives the door to tiptoe. Jin-woo sees but does not react, and his father tells him that he has hired a young New General Director for the retail team. "You better would be on guard!", He warns Jin-woo.
Jin-woo calls Soo-jung to his office in the morning, where she promises to keep his secret. He says he does not trust people easily and therefore can not rely on them. They assured him that if you have a one-sided crush on, you do not want the person injured and have no reason to reveal their weaknesses, so they will whisper a word.
Yoo-ah accosts Min-seok on their way to school, and gasps at his gaunt looking face. He humors her guess that he was up watching porn all night, because that's probably easier than the truth.
It's Game Day, so he is excused from classes with his team, but on the bus on the way, he gets a call from the same number and thinks about the request of his brother. There is talk of blood ties, holding him and Min-seok turns tail with a grimace, run away with his coach in hot pursuit makes. He jumps over the fence and makes a break for it.
COMMENTS
Despite the fact that we all knew from the beginning weeks in advance the Setup for many of us, or about 20 seconds for those who pre-show promo descriptions- school King of Savvy treated his first episode not had read pretty good. In my view, the key was the way it combines the efficient plotted story with a series of introductions that cut to the heart of each character. I think the word with efficiently , but this is really an apt description and a remarkable feature that many firsts not value (or can not be reached). Not only do we get an understanding of who these characters are placed with a minimum of working or description, we take care of, and I am very happy.
For example, even the smaller side characters are played with an understanding that these people are on the lines they are given. As the sisterly relationship between Soo-jung (the stressed unni, a little out of balance, the responsible one) and Yoo-ah (the immature one with all street smarts). Whatever they would for trouble I see a sister of all to be cheated and the other conning each, but together you feel like they have met each other.
Then there is Jin-woo, a character type that is often quite shallow. But I like Jin-woo professional mien (okay, although one could argue that your business partner tricking into action not professional is) has a heart and a conscience and his treatment of Soo-young-he, but he does not string her together for one second and is not common as it should be. His relationship with the president is likely to put him into rival territory, since it seems like his father, edge out him in favor of the new man, and I suspect, Jin-woo may have to do with conflict emotions about his father's consent will and angry on it for the way in which it increases. (The show has us yet, but the description tells us that the father-son relationship is hidden because he was born out of wedlock.)
Jin-woo talking to Soo-jung at the end was interesting for me because they approached the situation (to keep her silence) from an attitude of confidence to be the default emotion, and it was he approaches with suspicion as its default. I am actually very curious to see if / how it develops with Soo-young, because it's exactly the opposite and is frankly, in a drama in which our hero is so much younger (only 18) I can not exactly root for that to be the main romance).
Especially when I find the little sister cute in their own right, even if it is. In a steamrollery kind of way And while Min-seok Yoo-ah keeps at arm's length, he does not actually locked them active down so maybe he will come 'round? We'll see where that goes.
But on the whole, my favorite aspect of the show is the family relationship between our four men. There are the difficult fraternal relationship between min-seok and Hyung-Seok, who feels rich and layered on its own merits, and then there the surrogate father / grandfather relationship. min-seok has an almost reflex visceral response to Hyung remind them that they only have each other as blood relatives, and that's the tie that he can cut never, even if he wanted to. ( you get the feeling that he may have wanted in the past when he gushed his resentment, though he never.) But the moment when a stranger the casual comment makes the min-seok and dad look the same nothing, he gets tense and hostile, although was meant no offense.
He is extremely loyal and protective, and he has become the glue of his family. I love the dynamic here, and this type of emotional ground is what makes me able to my faith in the show, despite its very be put out there premise. Who knows what Hyung-Seok is to be on from the Commission of the real reason, or if the show can produce a justification that feels realistic (I'm from all over the botched plastic surgery excuse think in You're beautiful although at least in this case was the absurdity of comedy played). Nevertheless, because the show got emotionally invested, I'm not so worried that-I'm gonna just sit back, relax and go with the hijinks.
