Why wait for the right time when you can do it NOW?
















Why wait for Mother's Day before you tell your mom you love her? Why wait for Christmas before you give your bestfriend the book she's been eyeing in the bookstore? Why wait for the right time when you can just tell that special someone that you love him/her now? Why wait when time waits for no one?

I think it's just right that we say or do the things we want to before it's too late. Before we don't have the time to say or do them anymore. I know things always need perfect timing but have you ever thought that maybe "now" is the right time? That maybe if we just breathe then say/do it then everything will be fine? That maybe if you call him/her this instant then he/she will still be yours tomorrow? That maybe if you call your family right now and invite them to dinner then you'll have a great weekend? I know it's funny how fond I am of the concept of "now" but I've learned that it's you who make the time right for everything. You have the power to make a moment either a perfect or bad one! And like what my sister said, waiting for the right time is just a waste of time.

Life isn't about waiting for the right time to come. It's all about doing all the right things in the time that is given to you.

What I'm saying is, don't waste the time you have now on things that don't really matter. Call your parents, treat your bestfriend, talk with your colleagues, shop with your sister, help your local community, there are things in life that you could be doing but ignore them since you always believe you can do them tomorrow. What if it's already too late? What if there's no more tomorrow? So don't waste your chances. Don't wait until it's too late. Because it's always exciting to surprise yourself than lose a chance.

So breathe and do/say it now.

TV Series: The Blacklist (2013) Season 3


Main Characters:
James Spader as Raymond Reddington
Megan Boone as Elizabeth "Liz" Keen
 Diego Klattenhoff as FBI Special Agent Donald Ressler
Amir Arison as Aram Mojtabai
Mozhan Marno as Samar Navabi
Harry Lennix as Harold Cooper
Ryan Eggold as Tom Keen
Hisham Tawfiq as Dembe Zuma

Picking up where the last season ended, Elizabeth Keen is now a wanted fugitive. She's in the run with Reddington and his former partner, Donald Ressler, is hunting her down.


 It's really frustrating that Ressler has to go after Liz because "it's his job". Grr. But then I know that somehow Ressler cares for Liz.

I really love this show and this season gives me so many heart attacks. I mean, every episode surprises you with new story and now that Liz is fighting to prove her innocence, she must run away first and let Reddington and her friends save her. I'm also loving Aram more and more especially when he saved Liz when she was brought back in by the FBI and Peter tried to kill her in her confinement. I really loved that scene. 
Ressler and Navabi became partners now that Liz is gone.

I'm on episode 12 now and the previous episode showed us that Liz is pregnant and everyone knows who the daddy is. Ugh! And there I thought Ressler has a chance. Tsk. Anyway, I'm trying to finish the remaining episodes and I'm ready to find out all the secrets Reddington are keeping. 

And... can I hope for Liz and Ressler to have a little romance? :") 
  
(03172016)


UPDATE!!
I just finished episode 23 tonight and OH MY GOD I knew it! I knew Liz isn't dead because... she can't be dead!! She just can't die because what's the point if she is already gone in the show?

Anyway, after finding out that she is pregnant, Liz initially wants to put the baby up for adoption but decided otherwise when she realizes how hard Tom is working for them to have a future. In the end she decided to marry Tom on which Reddington strongly objects.

 But on their wedding day, Mr. Solomon shows up with his men, gun blazing and determined to take Liz no matter what method necessary. And of course, Reddington comes to the rescue and together with their other friends, they hold off Mr. Solomon until Ressler and his back up arrive to help. 


Liz and Tom escape but Liz gets injured in a car accident which endangers the the baby inside her. With the help of Mr. Kaplan who arranges a secure location and Nik who performs an emergency Caesarian section on Liz, they get to save both the child and Liz. They name the baby Agnes.


Reddington is happy that Liz and the baby are safe but Liz doesn't want Reddington anywhere near Agnes. It hurts Reddington but we can't really blame Liz for not wanting her child to have anything to do with Reddington after everything that happened to her because of him. Mr. Kaplan then tells Reddington she's going to talk to Liz about it.

But shortly after baby Agnes was born, Liz's life is in danger again as she falls in a critical condition. They immediately move her in an ambulance but on the way to the hospital, Solomon's men show up again, cornering them and giving Liz no chance to fight for her life. And in that ambulance, Liz dies. *cry a bucket*

 
I was skeptical when I watched this episode and I was like, "What? No, no, no. Liz can't die! No, she can't die. Seriously? NOOOOO!" And I remember ranting in twitter saying I won't watch the series anymore because what's the point when Liz is dead? But then I read an article about this episode with James Spader saying that Elizabeth Keen is dead. It was when I decided to accept it. But still...


Moving on... Liz's friends grieve for her death and they attend her funeral, remembering all the good things they've shared with her and how she became a family to all of them. It was actually heartbreaking and Aram made me cry.

When she shall die… take her… and cut her out in little stars, and she will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun. Romeo and Juliet. Agent Keen loved Shakespeare. And Dr. Seuss. She loved dim sum and… and BeyoncĂ©, and those little wooden, uh, foot massagers that go under your desk. (VOICE BREAKS) I know the things she loved because we were friends. Even though I called her “Agent Keen,” that was out of the respect I had for her. (BREATHING UNEVENLY) Her friends also called her Liz. (CRYING) I miss you, Liz. (SNIFFLES) Just… Okay. Thank you. (SPEAKING INAUDIBLY)
(The Blacklist Declassified)

Liz's death is hard for everyone especially to Reddington. It devastated him and it makes him somewhat vulnerable. He's in hiding for a while, taking his time to accept the fact that Liz is already gone. He also visits Dom, Liz's maternal grandfather, delivering the sad news. After some thinking, he eventually returns to the task force, offering his help on finding Liz's killer.

Now everyone is focused on finding who's responsible for Liz's death. Reddington tells them to find a woman named Susan "Scottie" Hargarve who he believes employed Solomon to kidnap Liz. They eventually found Scottie and it turns out Red and she go back a long way. Tom, on the other hand, is busy looking after Agnes but he also wants revenge for Liz. He's not also letting Reddington near Agnes in fear that Agnes would face the same fate as her mother.


In the end, Scottie has no choice but to give up the name of the one who ordered to kidnap Liz. Alexander Kirk. So then everyone focuses on finding Kirk, determined to get their revenge for Liz's death. Following their leads, they found out that Kirk is now after Tom and Agnes and in order to protect Agnes, Reddington convinces Scottie to team up with them. Tom also agrees on letting Reddington see Agnes in condition that he would do everything to catch Kirk. Reddington then put his men on watch over Agnes and Tom for protection.

 And together with Scottie's team, Reddington and the task force, which reluctantly agrees, make a move to draw Kirk out.

It is also revealed that Scottie is actually Tom's mother when he tries to kill her but Reddington stops her.

On the last episode, they are closing in on Kirk and Reddington is resolved on killing him. He sees Cooper to tell him that he's going to leave the task force now that Liz is gone. He also says goodbye and asks Cooper to look after the others. He then executes his next plan, waiting for Kirk to show up so he could kill him. But Ressler stops him, saying he wants justice for Liz's death not vengeance. Reddington tells him it's the same for him and it doesn't really matter as long as he kills Kirk.

Ressler tries to stop Reddington and at first he's so against him pulling the trigger but after contemplating, he finally lets Reddington do it. But unfortunately, or fortunately for Ressler, Kirk doesn't show up. It turns out that Kirk is on his way to Cuba after finding out that Tom gives Reddington's men the slip and he flies to Cuba with Agnes with the help of Mr. Kaplan.

It's then revealed that Liz is actually alive (Oh my god oh my god oh my god!) and she's waiting for Tom and Agnes in Cuba all this time. See? I told you she's not dead! :P

Reddington is furious with Mr. Kaplan when he finds out that she actually helped Tom flee the country. She tells him she doesn't regret it because now Agnes is safe but when Reddington tells her that Kirk knows that Tom and Agnes are in Cuba, Mr. Kaplan reveals that not only Agnes is in danger but also Liz.

She then tells Reddington how she and Nik had faked Liz's death in order to protect her from Reddington. She says she did it because it was Reddington's fault that Liz had to suffer and she doesn't want Agnes to face the same.

In Cuba, Tom returns home from the groceries only to find Liz gone and a man reaching for Agnes. He's able to grab the man just before he could touch Agnes and knocks him out. Reddington and his men arrive a little too late only to find the house already empty. Now Reddington is more furious and asks Mr. Kaplan what he should do with her. (Ugh! It's not Mr. Kaplan's fault!)

Ressler also tells Cooper that Liz is actually alive.

The season ends with Liz being held somewhere and Alexander Kirk showing up, telling her that he's Constantin Rostov, her father. Whaaaat?

Gahd, I can't wait for the next season and you don't know how happy I am to know that Liz is alive! :) I was actually convinced that Elizabeth Keen is dead but Marsha Rostova is not! HAHAHA xD Now I'm more excited to see what will happen in the next season. And I'm still not giving up hoping that there will be a Liz-Ressler romance even though we already have Agnes. Hihi :D

Book: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews

★★½ /★★★★★

“One thing I've learned about people is that the easiest way to get them to like you is to shut up and let them do the talking.”

This book is HILARIOUS. There was never a page that I didn't laugh and I actually adored the cover. But I guess this book wasn't just meant for me. 

So the title of the book basically tells you what the story is all about. It's about Greg, Earl and Rachel whose lives get tangled again when Rachel is diagnosed with leukemia and Greg's mom encourages Greg to rekindle his friendship with Rachel. Earl,on the other hand, is Greg's only friend/co-worker and they both like to make movies which are not so good or should I say, shitty? After Greg's failed attempts to get Rachel to talk to him, Rachel finally opened up and they started meeting again until Earl told Rachel about the movies they made and showed them to her. Greg was against it but it was too late because Rachel had already seen them and she actually liked it. In the end, Greg and Earl were forced to make a movie for Rachel.

Though I liked how the story started, Greg describing highschool and categorizing the different cliques which he tried hard not be a part of any just to protect himself, it felt like the rest of the book was just a big joke. I mean, Greg was a total jerk and even though I wanted to understand him he failed to make me. And the way he degraded himself was not funny at all. Sure there were times that I was laughing-out-loud but there were also times when I frowned at how annoying he was. 
“I’m smart in some ways- pretty good vocabulary, solid at math – but I am definitely the stupidest smart person there is… I was going to be the worst friend in the history of dying girls… Because I don’t really have a moral compass and I need to rely on (Earl) for guidance, or else I might accidentally become like a hermit or a terrorist or something. How fucked up is that.”
I didn't like Greg's character at all and it was frustrating how he kept on saying that it was a terrible book! I was like, then why did you write it if it wasn't good?!
“If after reading this book you come to my home and brutally murder me, I do not blame you.”
I gave this book a chance to redeem itself but I was on the last page and I was still waiting. Ugh, it was such a quick but disappointing read. Too bad I really liked how creative it was written with the bullets and script format and things like that. Rachel's character was also underdeveloped considering that she's one of the main characters in the book. Earl for me was a so-so and I actually liked him more than Greg.

Overall I give it 2 and a half star and if only Greg was a bit likeable!

Where My Love Goes by Lawson ♫♪


Isn't this sweet? 
How I wish I have a boyfriend like Andy. :") 

My love goes out of my heart and into the wind
Out my guitar and under your skin
Into your house and out of your headphones
That's where my love goes

Wherever you go, I'll follow
Don't worry about tomorrow
I will be in your shadow
Walking right beside you everyday
I'll be the one to save ya
When I put my pen to paper
Feels like it brings us closer
Even when you're so far away

Bullet trains and aeroplanes
I can't choose the easy way
So I'll send a signal just for you

My love goes out of my heart and into the wind
Out my guitar and under your skin
Into your house and out of your headphones
My love goes out of your door and into the street
Down through the fleet and up through your feet
Into your car and out of your radio,
That's where my love goes!

You will never be lonely
Just relax and listen to me
I breathe the air that you breathe
I am always with you in disguise.
Bullet trains and aeroplanes
I can't choose the easy way
So I'll send a signal just for you

My love goes out of my heart and into the wind
Out my guitar and under your skin
Into your house and out of your headphones
(Hello, you're not alone)
My love goes out of your door and into the street
Down through the fleet and up through your feet
Into your car and out of your radio,
That's where my love goes!

That's where my love goes,
Tell me can you hear me now?
I'm screaming out so loud!
Oh, it goes out of my heart and into the wind
Out my guitar and under your skin
Into your house and out of your radio! Oooh

Out of my heart and into the wind
Out my guitar and under your skin
Into your house and out of your headphones
My love goes out of your door and into the street
Down through the fleet and up through your feet
Into your car and out of your radio
That's where my love goes
Yeah, that's where my love goes


My love goes out of your door and into the street
Down through the fleet and up through your feet
Into your car and out of your radio
That's where my love goes


Congrats Andy and Joey!

Book: Poison Study (Study #1) by Maria V. Snyder

★★★ ½/★★★★★

“Trusting is hard. Knowing who to trust, even harder.”

 Study series is included on my 5 Series I'll Finally Read in 2016 so I'm trying to get around it now while I have the time. The first in the series, Poison Study, was promising and I was actually excited when I picked it up because I always enjoy books with assassins and it had female protagonist but there were things in the book that didn't quite satisfy me. 

Plot summary:
The book follows Yelena's life when she becomes the Commander's food taster. She was actually a +convicted murderer but was given a life-changing offer to become the next food taster. The job isn't really that easy and safe, tasting the Commander's food for poison, but Yelena knew it was better than facing the noose so she accepted it. She then trains under Valek, Commander's right hand and an assassin, and to make sure Yelena wouldn't try to escape, Valek feeds her a poison called Butterfly Dust. Now Yelena has to come to him every morning to drink an antidote that only he has or else she'll die.

The story picks up when the father of the man Yelena murdered, Brazell, finds out that she wasn't hanged and sends men to kill her instead. Valek, worrying he would have to train a new food taster when Yelena dies, protects Yelena from Brazell's men and lets her stay with him in his suite. Yelena also decided to learn how to fight with the help of Ari, Janco and Maren, so she can protect herself. 

 There's also magic involved in the book and Yelena herself is developing magical abilities which are illegal in Ixia. Magicians were long killed or they fled to Sitia when the Commander took over Ixia. So in order to keep herself alive, Yelena didn't tell anyone about her magic except to Irys who tries to kill her in the Fire festival and who is also a magician like her. Irys tells Yelena to come with her to Sitia so they can train her how to use her growing magic but Yelena knew she couldn't because she needs to get the antidote to Valek everyday in order to live. Instead, she asks Irys to give her a year so she can somehow think of a way how to secretly get a recipe of the antidote from Valek.

The story then heats up when the Commander announces that he picked a new successor. Valek suspects that something is not right and it makes him moody which Yelena doesn't like. They then start to investigate and find out that Brazell and his right hand, Mogkan who is also a magician, have something to do with it.

Thoughts:
Though I had a hard time connecting with Yelena at first, I loved that she was a strong and smart protagonist. The other characters were also engaging especially Ari and Janco and I loved that they were loyal to Yelena and treated her like a sister. I had some issues with Valek like how I would always remind myself that he's a 30+ something man because there were times that he failed to act like his age. Or maybe it's just me! But I loved him nonetheless. He was a bad-ass assassin and who doesn't love a bad-ass assassin anyway? For the world-building, there wasn't much in it but I guess it was enough to guide the readers. 

Another thing that failed to impress me was the way it was written. Don't get me wrong, the plot was good and everything else was fine but the dialogues sometimes threw me off. Like sometimes they conversed with modern language and it didn't quite fit with the time they live in. But then again, maybe it's just me! I was also waiting for the romance to happen but it didn't until the latter part of the book. Yelena and Valek's romantic connection was expected to happen and when it finally did - BAM! They really made a great pair because they were both smart and strong and loyal. But I was hoping for more romantic interactions! Tsk. Anyway, the ending was sweet and it was the reason for the added ½ star! 
“What have I earned form you, Valek? Loyalty? Respect? Trust?
“You have my attention. But give me what I want, and you can have everything.
So, while I enjoyed some parts of the book, there were times I got bored, too. I think I wasn't just emotionally attached to it like I wanted to and it failed to live up my expectations.

Movie: Before We Go 2014

 ★/

Main Characters:
Chris Evans as Nick Vaughan
Alice Eve as Brooke Dalton
Nick: You  seemed perfect.
Harry: Well, Nick, there is no perfect. There will always be struggle. You just have to pick who you want to struggle with.
I always love romantic movies and this one I definitely loved! Aside from the fact that Chris Evans is gorgeous, Before We Go just proved us that one serendipitous night can change the course of your life. 

Nick and Brooke are brought together by fate as they meet at Grand Central Terminal on the night they are both making important decision in their life. It all starts when Brooke drops her phone and Nick gives it back. Being unlucky enough, Brooke also got robbed that night leaving her penniless. So Nick,being a gentleman or something, offers to share a cab with Brooke but it turns out that he doesn't have enough money too and his credit cards are all declined. And next thing that happens, Nick and Brooke are on a mission to find Brooke's purse and everything else happens along the way which eventually leads to a decision they both didn't think they would make at the end. 


I'm a sucker for love stories and I do believe that two people can fall in love no matter how long or how short they spend time together-one year, one month, one week, or even one night. In Nick and Brooke's case, they spent a night sharing stories and problems, confiding and eventually trusting each other. In those hours they were together, they came to know each other and it led to something they didn't expect to happen.

In the end they decided to let each other go because it was the right thing to do. Brooke was married and they both knew that though what they felt that night was real, it was just right for Brooke to come home to her husband and fix their marriage.
 Nick: Nick. It's you again. Listen, I want to give you one more piece of advice. You're gonna be playing one night... Grand Central... thinking of every reason in the world to not go see the girl that broke your heart. Then you're gonna meet somebody. And now at first, she's gonna seem... icy. You're gonna know right away she's trouble. She's gonna take all your money. You're probably gonna get punched in the face. But, uh... stick with her. You're gonna need her a lot more than she needs you. And at the end of the night, you're gonna want to say some things, but don't. Don't ruin it. It's nothing she doesn't already know. Just give her a kiss. Wish her good luck. And, uh... thank her. Thank her for showing you that you can love one more person in this life. 
Brooke: Oh, wait! Um, Nick? It's Brooke. Don't pay your credit card that month. Okay. (hangs up) He said he wasn't planning on it. 
Nick: Good luck.
Brooke: Thank you, Nick. 

I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did! :)

KDrama: Neighborhood Hero 2016


Main Characters:
Park Shi hoo as Baek Shi yoon
Jo Sung ha as Im Tae ho
Lee Soo hyuk as Choi Chang gyu
Kwon Yuri as Bae Jung yeon
Song Jae ho as President Hwang

A friend of my sister recommended this drama and only now I got the chance to watch it. There wasn't any expectation when I started watching it but along the way I began to have some. The premise was good, showing a group of agents, Shi yoon, Jin woo and Seo Ahn, following a lead on a case they were working on but they were discovered by those people they were investigating and it ended with the death of Jin woo. Past forward to the present, after three years, Shi yoon was shown getting out of a prison. It was his punishment for not pulling his team out of the case even after it was ordered by his superior and for jeopardizing their investigation resulting to Ji woon's death.


Now that Shi yoon is out, he decided to gather information regarding the case they were working on three years ago. He swears to find out why they were suddenly told to stop investigating the case which resulted to Jin woo's death. But of course Shi yoon's main reason is revenge.

He then comes to Neighborhood Bar where retired agents frequent to, thinking he could get information there. Lucky enough, he immediately sees someone he recognizes from the case three years ago. But unfortunately, the bar owner, President Hwang, is now retiring and decided to sell Neighborhood Bar. The new buyer wants to put up a new business to replace the bar but President Hwang, having been working in Neighborhood Bar for 30 years doesn't want it to be replaced with some other type of business where retired agents can't go to anymore. Jung yeon, a writer who works part-time at the bar, also doesn't want President Hwang to sell the bar but she can't do anything about it. So Shi yoon, feeling the same and thinking he can't question the other agents anymore once the bar is sold, decided to buy and run the bar himself with two conditions: he is to run the bar exactly as it is now and to leave a place for President Hwang to come to everyday. President Hwang gladly accepts his conditions but he has his own conditions: his coffee and beer would be free and writer Bae will remain as an employee.

[President Hwang and Write Bae]

Being the new owner, Shi yoon starts gathering information from his customers. He meets new people like Chang gyu, an aspiring police officer who works a part time job under Tae ho, a police officer.

Chang gyu is tasked to follow some people around and those people, being retired agents, are always in Neighborhood Bar making him a regular in the bar too. There he meets Jung yeon who thinks he is Shadow, the guy who saved her and her friend a couple of time.


 The Shadow first shows up when Writer Bae and her friend, So Mi, are attacked by a couple of social workers who are pestering So Mi to leave her shop in culture district because Hallyu Core Mall is going to be built there. A man wearing a mask and a cap saves them and that's when the news about the Shadow starts. When the social workers keep on showing up at the culture district, scaring the people, the Shadow always comes to the rescue to protect them.

President Hwang, upon hearing the news about Shadow, realizes that it's Shi yoon. But Shi yoon, not wanting to admit that he's protecting the people and saying he's not the kind of person who minds other people's business, denies it. He also tries to gather information through President Hwang but President Hwang doesn't just tell others what his customers have shared with him whenever they are at his bar. Shi yoon understands him but as a murder occurs, he starts to become aggressive on gathering intel. 

The story picks up when President Hwang is murdered and so it happens that Chang gyu is monitoring him under Tae ho's order. 

Due to a financial problem, Tae ho agrees to manage a subcontracting company which is offered by his friend, Park Sun hoo. The company monitors officials and persons and Tae ho then employed Chang gyu. The first person Chang gyu monitored died so Sun hoo assigned him another person to monitor. This time it's President Hwang. Chang gyu reluctantly agrees after what happened to the first person he monitored but since Tae ho raised his salary, he returns to work. President Hwang and Shi yoon are aware of what Chang gyu is doing and they let him do his job. It's actually funny how amateur Chang gyu is that President Hwang lets him catch up with him on pedestrians.

Shi yoon and everyone at the bar mourn the death of President Hwang. It also fuels Shi yoon's rage because now he knows that everyone who knew about the case from three years ago are being targeted. Chang gyu is also arrested for the death of President Hwang but Sun hoo bails him out and tells him to see who really cares for him in times like that. Pfft. And then he receives the name of the next person he's going to monitor now that President Hwang is dead. It's Shi yoon.

Tae ho, on the other hand, still works for Sun ho and is afraid to disobey his orders because he needs the money Sun hoo is giving him. And even though he wants to investigate the death of President Hwang and the prior murder, he can't since Sun hoo told him not to.

Meanwhile, the conflict between the people at culture district and the people behind Hallyu Core Mall starts to heat up. Yoon Sang min, the man behind Hallyu Core Mall, wants the Shadow gone because he keeps on protecting the neighborhood. He sends his men to fight the Shadow but they are no match against him. In one incident, Chang gyu accidentally sees the Shadow fighting Yoon's men and recognizes Shi yoon when he takes off his mask. From then, he looks up to Shi yoon and wants him to train him so he can be the next shadow.

At first, Writer Bae believes that Chang gyu is the Shadow so she treats him nicely by giving him free food.

 And since Writer Bae keeps on asking if he's really the Shadow, Chang gyu finally gets to work up his courage and starts fighting the bully. They also start seeing each other.

Going back to Shi yoon, he learns that his friend and his former team leader, Jung Soo hyuk, has something to do with the murders that happened. Jung Soo hyuk is actually working to cover up everything that happened from three years ago up to now because it's his job. He works with Yoon Sang min, covering every dirty work they've done just so Yoon Sang min can build his Hallyu Core Mall and Hong Gyoo man will be the next Prime Minister.

Yoon San min, Jung Soo hyuk and Hong Gyoo man are all people working with the New York Study Group composed of four high profile people in Korea. They work for them because they have the money to back them up.

Shi yoon then teams up with Ri soo and Min after learning that Soo hyuk has already turned his back to the Intelligence Agency. He also finds out that JJ, a friend of Yoon Sang min, was the one who killed Jin woo. And now that there were other people who also died because of what happened three years ago, Shi yoon and the others work to flush out the people behind Yoon Sang Mi and Jung Soo hyuk. Tae ho, Chang gyu and Write Bae also help even though Shi yoon doesn't want to put them in danger.
------------
I continued watching this drama with my sister and we loved it! She actually likes Park Shi hoo now because of this. Haha :D

[Screencaps]

I love love love Chang gyu and he's actually sweet.
Chang gyu: I may not be the shadow but I want to see what it's like to be one. I'm going to put this on and go do a good deed in the culture district. 
Write Bae: Why so suddenly?
Chang gyu: If the shadow you're looking for doesn't show up, I want to take his spot. Write Bae's shadow.

I also forgot but Shi yoon's love interest is Seo Ahn.

In the end, Shi yoon and the others are able to reveal the people behind the New York Study Group and their crimes. Yoon Sang min, after getting kicked out in the group, made a deal with Shi yoon that helped them identifying and testifying against the New York Study Group. Jung Soo hyuk, after deciding not to kill Shi yoon, is killed by his own team, Chang gyu becomes a constable police officer and Writer Bae finally got her book published. And Shi yoon? He's still out there protecting the neighborhood! :)


 I hope you enjoy this drama as much as we did! :)
