The time is between dog and wolf. The title is also extraordinary.
When all things are stained red sunset,
Silhouette coming over the hill is if the dog I was raised,
or if the wolf coming to hurt me,
Undistinguishable time.
The unique title is taken from a French saying "L'heure entre chien et loup" and means the twilight hour that is ambiguous time of dusk the night, making it's difficult to distinguish between dogs and wolves. The title simulates the imagination.
The title of "Time Between Dog and Wolf" seems to express the status of Soo-hyun (Lee Jun-Ki) experienced the confusion of identity between the lost memories and a desire for revenge. In addition, boundaries between good and evil/ friend and foe is unclear though it is about revenge.
Mao (Choi, Jae-sung) is an enemy of Soo-hyun/Kay (Lee Jun Ki), but Mao is also a prop who Kay can turn to when he lost his memories. Ji-woo/Ari (Nam Sang-mi) is Soo-hyun/Kay's lover as well as a daughter of the enemy just like Romeo and Juliet. Min-Ki (Jung Kyung-ho) is brother-like friend and hostile relation in one. All this vague boundaries is cleared by well-organized plot, striking directing, and character actors.
It was good action, incident, revenge is the main story instead of being fed up with romance.
Soo-Hyun, a undercover NIS agent, infiltrates the Chungbang (Thai gang) with revenge in mind and reborn as Kay. He is so pitiable character. Not to mention personal history, no credit for life-risking undercover activities since NIS agent cannot leave a name even after death. Indeed all of characters in this drama are pathetic.
When Kay is wandered without memories, [Time Between Dog and Wolf] is similar in [Resurrection]. Undercover is almost like one-person two roles. Compared to Soo-hyun, Kay with lost memories is a totally different man. To be honest, I was a little worried about Lee Jun Ki, since he played Kong-gil in his previous work, film [King and the Clown]. It was huge hit, so I was worried if he stuck in Kong-gil. However, it was unnecessary anxiety. Lee Jun Ki acts very well. Probable it is also fresh that Lee Jun Ki, famous as a pretty man, is very good at action as a Taekwondo master.
As an actor, Lee Jun Ki seems to have strong desire about acting. (you know, in a good way) He has a passion. he chooses work carefully. I say, Lee Jun Ki as a brand-name. That is why I always watching his work ever afterward, like [Illjimae] or [Two weeks]. His genre suit my taste as well!
Rediscovery of actor Jung Kyung-ho. I realized he is full of charm through [Time Between Dog and Wolf]. He is cute when he played Min-Ki as deceitful a bit naughty, on the other hand, when he burst out subbing after his father's death, Jung Kyung-ho proved he is a real actor. Since then, he shows charismatic Min-ki.
No more 'Burger part-time job Beauty'. Nam Sang-mi is grown up as an actress. Personally I had a good impression of her, so I expected when I watching, she is very pretty, no less. Acting was well received. Whenever Ji-woo(Nam Sang-mi) comes out it gets bored as it went on, but it can't be helped due to the flow, I guess.
Simple plot: After his mother was brutally murdered in front of him by Thai criminal gang, Chungbang, Lee Soo-hyun was adapted into NIS agent. Later, he carried out an operation dealing with Chungbang, and becomes undercover agent infiltrating into Chungbang with revenge in mind. Soo-hyun reborn as Kay, hiding his past...
I highly recommended [Time Beween Dog and Wolf]. You won't regret. well, if you do not like dark, it could be difficult to put up with in the beginning, though. However, you might be immersed oneself in, every episode.
