Drama Hangout: Mrs. Cop 2

There was a palpable feeling of unease when Mrs. Cop 2, the sequel to the moderately popular Mrs. Cop, announced that it would be bringing back only one original cast member. The fact that said cast member wouldn’t even be the titular heroine only added to the general feeling of “But why?” that surrounded the early promos.

Now that we’re four weeks into Mrs. Cop 2’s run, it’s safe to say that it’s its own show, so much so that it probably would’ve been fine as its own show rather than a sequel. It’s faring decently in the ratings despite always pulling up the rear, though that seems poised to change as it inches ever closer to the 10% mark. Not a runaway hit for sure, but one that has a steady (and growing) audience.

For those who aren’t familiar with either show’s premise, Mrs. Cop 2 focuses on a hot-tempered ajumma cop (Kim Sung-ryung) who works to solve a murder case that may or may not be related to a case from her past. She’s joined by Kim Min-jong (the one returning cast member), and opposed by a disarmingly handsome villain in the form of Kim Bum.

Since we haven’t gotten a chance to weigh in on this show yet, we’re opening the floor to you guys. These Drama Hangouts are for anything and everything related to the show at hand, so have a party! And if that party happens to center around Kim Bum’s performance, well, no one here will stop you.

Mrs Cop 2 is SO much better than 1, especially in terms of its police work. That was really 1's worst and most unforgivable failing. I actually wouldn't have watched if it had been Kim Hee Ae returning.

Sorry, I actually couldn't even get through Mrs. Cop 1, even with Kim Hee Ae in the cast. Wow, terrible grammar from me.

I actually didn't watch the first one so I have nothing to compare it to but I'm really enjoying this show. It's a good entertaining watch and I love Kim Sung Ryung.

I didn't expect much from this drama, but I gave it a try because of Kim Sung Ryung and Kim Bum, and I love it so far! It goes from edgy and intense to humorous and fun with ease, and the entire cast is well-rounded and strong. The underlying story of how all of the cases link back to KSR's old case and to KB's character gives good continuity, too. Definitely recommend it!

This drama isn't very good, but it seems kinda aware of that and thus it is surprisingly humorous. Its not the most riveting shows, but I find the titular mrs cop great (and I love the show for showing how a woman can be feminine whilst doing something stereotypically masculine/still being tough and smart. ) Kim bums villain is very smirky but I am hoping there will be a surprising twist there.

I tried to watch Mrs. Cop 1 but did not complete it because I didn't like it... So I was skeptical about the sequel... but since one should not judge a show without watching, I tried it out.... AND I'M LOVING IT! Ohmo its SO Hilarious... good thing they changed the cast. I love the cop ahjumma and her not so 'cop'ish fashion... I like the chemistry between her and the Section Chief... so agyeo.. and the rookies on her team too.

I thought I was the only one not infected by DOTS fever. I mean, I enjoy watching it. But I tend to watch my other fave dramas first (marriage contract, mrs. cop, vamp detective, page turner) before finally catching up with Dots. (I even had time to watch unforgettable and biryi gal)

All of you are strong. I stop after the first 30 minutes. IMO the female lead is annoying. Yes, we are woman and we roar but when it came off as annoying meow instead, I can't take it anymore.

No idea what lured me into them. Can somebody enlighten me?

Note: I haven't seen this show yet.

I found it odd that people were cheering for Dam Bi when she was cast here, as I found as she was THE weakest link in What Happens To My Family. People say she's hot, but she wasn't even that attractive on that show (both Nam Ji Hyun and Kim Hyun Joo were better), so I don't know why they wanted to see her again. Doesn't help that her partner (The guy who plays Jung Ji Hoon in CBA) isn't a great actor either.

I'll try out this show, and maybe I can appreciate her this time around.

I actually watched the Mrs.cop 1 and had fun ride though there were some mistakes script wise,they weren't that big of a problem .I especially loved the cast though some may not agree.With no expectation I watched Mrs.cop 2 and decided to not treat as a sequel and to not compare it with first one,and so far it is a good show that's worthy of atleast one watch ..though 8 episodes in ..I kinda feel the show is slow paced story but that's ok I love the villain and he's acting quite good.

No, it's not like Signal, I'm into 2 ep it's not bad really but if you want a thriller like Signal, try Pied Piper. Don't understand why it's not getting much love but it's a great show.

Kim bum!!!! He's so deliciously evil as the villain. The cop ajumma is also a fun non-whiny character and ship those 2 rookies in her team.

I felt that Mrs. Cop 2 was inferior compared to Mrs. Cop 1. The cases seems more interesting and what I didn't like here was that the secondary leads seemed to act the same way throughout, whilst in Mrs. Cop 1 they evolved. Furthermore, the cases seemed more compelling and the ahjumma was more interesting to watch.

Tried giving a chance for Mrs. Cop 2 by marathoning the first few episodes (since Mrs. Cop 1 did take me 4 episodes, after which I fell in love since episode 4 and 5 onwards it was becoming more and more amazing!!!) but it still didn't change my opinion on it. Sorry to say that I'm giving this sequel a pass.

I'll be honest. I started this as a hate watch. Then the first episode was so funny, I had to keep watching to see if this kind of humor would continue.

I do like her shoe game in this show. It's easy to see where the budget for Show was spent. However, when Mrs. Cop brings one of those 6 inch stiletto heels down on the foot of her soon-to-be-ex, I gotta cheer!

Now I am watching purely for Kim Bum, a recent graduate of the Namgoong Min school of How to Be The Hawttest Baddie in a Kdrama. That knee-weakening smirky smile of his is worth every moment wasted. When Mrs. Cop dangles the handcuffs in front of him, ohh, the notty notty thoughts you know he's got in his mind. And the glass-throwing scene? Nam Gyu Man couldn't have done it any better.

I quite like Mrs Cop 1, I think the female lead did a better job, the female lead in Mrs Cop 2 looked more like an high-end society ahjimma than a team leader at violent crimes unit. I think she would do a better job to portray some high end Mrs something than Mrs Cop at the police unit. No wonder her colleagues kinda looked down on her and how she would be performing after she got into be the new team leader through some strings pulled if I'm not wrong....

I couldn't get pass the 1st quarter of Mrs Cop 2 and dropped it soon, cos it is also quite boring (not thrilling and make me sleepy instead)...It cannot be compared to "Signal" as I saw comments mentioning about it since it is also a crime drama....Signal is so much much much better than it.. !!!

PS: sorry, I'm quite poor at remembering Korean artistes' names....

I like Mrs. Cop 2 but it tends to get boring at times. The actors are good in their roles, especially the one who is chewing gum at the time. And as for Kim Bum, he has to improve as the antagonist. He is not at all scary.
The humor in between adds a nice touch to the show.

Thanks for this Hangout!

I'm happy to say that this is another one of those shows that I did not think I'd want to watch, but listening to the Podcast about it, got me intrigued. 2 Episodes in and I think it's actually not bad at all!

I like how Mrs Cop, Yoon Jung is a mixture of smart efficiency but still showing incompetence and willing to ask for help. On the one hand hard-headed and kickass bad and on the other, a girl who likes her shoes and does aegyo. It's not a very polished show but is lots of fun and has droll characters whom I'd like to see gel together as a team. Kim Bum and sidekick make a magnetically, menacing pair as well. Best of all, it's a show that laughs at itself and got me so amused from the start. That's a good way to begin... so now, onwards to catch up with the many aired episodes!

I actually liked Mrs. Cop 1 better than 2. The best woman cop in kdrama!! Tried to like Mrs. Cop 2, but I don't like the ajumma, the story, and the team. Kim Bum is the only one that makes this drama okay.

I love both series, both leads are strong. I was skeptical of #2 at first but the beautiful Kim Sung-ryung has created her own believable and interesting version of the Mrs Cop theme. My only complaint is why is Episode 20 taking so long to get here!!
