File No: Shopping-King-Louis-EPS-12-And-13

Appearing before the dramacourt: Shopping King Louis Eps 12 and 13

***If this is your first time browsing The Drama Files, please read The Rules section first for our reviewing and rating system***

Issues:

Whether you should recruit the whole Scooby Gang and recreate the moment you first met when trying to reunite your girlfriend with her supposedly dead brother?
Whether speed dial assassins should come back to blackmail the Evil CEO?
Whether peeling garlic makes you a better person? And if so, should it be used to discipline high school gangsters?

The Rule(s):

Duh. Is there any other way to reunite your girlfriend with her supposedly dead brother?
Obviously. They are speed dial assassins. Anyone expecting anything less probably lives under a rock.
Yes. Apparently it does make you a better person and should totally be used to discipline high school gangsters. I vote to include it as part of detention.

Application:

RedRosette J: We’re almost at the home stretch with this drama. It would have been awesome if they had just ended it as a 12 episode drama right after Bok Sil was reunited with her brother. Episode 13 felt a bit filler and stretched out and I was bored. There really is no point in rehashing this whole Evil CEO plot to take over the company thing because he’s a really really bad villain and his co-villain (daughter Ma Ri) is too busy being caught up in a weird love line involving farts and bums. Yes. I actually typed that out. So weird. But it’s hard to hate on this drama because all the characters are so lovable and just really adorbs. Grandma and her “Pregnancy Pears” OMG. Never going to be able to look at a pear the same way again (Aside: I loved how everyone suspected her being pregnant and the two of them were so oblivious to it.). Even Bok Nam who I thought I would really dislike was really not bad; cut to him being held hostage by Math Ninja Butler Kim. OMG. So funny that a kid who was part of a badass motorcycle gang is now rendered powerless by algebra. LOL!

*Don’t worry this isn’t happening again.*

*Ajummas don’t discriminate when it comes to scarves.*

*No worries bro if I got a hug from Louis, I’d react the exact same way.*

*This kid is the worst at math: You failin at life child.*

Issue 1: Whether you should recruit the whole Scooby Gang and recreate the moment you first met when trying to reunite your girlfriend with her supposedly dead brother?

RedRosette J: So last week I was really mad about the fact that they gave Louis amnesia again, but they totally didn’t and totally trounced my expectations. To be fair though I started episode 12 with little to no expectations because I was still stewing about the amnesia stuff. The whole reuniting Bok Sil with her brother was so cute and the Scooby Gang all being recruited to help was totally warranted and totally Louis-style. (Did anyone else notice that they were the actual Scooby Gang: Oska = Velma [bc of that outfit], Butler = Fred, Housekeeper = Daphne, Louis = Shaggy, In Sung = Scooby. I love these guys.) Only Louis could do something so insane and actually pull it off. This is how lovable the character is! I love that in the plan to reunite Bok Sil with her brother, he recreated the moment that they both met, which wouldn’t have actually been possible, had it not been for her brother. I also liked that he stranded them in the middle of the sea so that they could have their sibling moment away from the rest of the world. It was just so cute and thoughtful. I loved that everyone else was on board with this plan including the Housekeeper! (who was playing double agent for Evil CEO if I remember correctly). It was great. So yea, when reuniting girlfriends with supposedly dead brothers, recruit a Scooby Gang if you don’t already have one, recreate the moment you met and then bring in the brother! Thank you hugs are guaranteed.

*Step 1: Find girlfriend’s (un)dead brother.*

*Step 2: Get girlfriend’s boss to send her somewhere.*

*Step 2(a): Get him to also send her to a place that resembles where you first met.*

*Step 3: Be at the place exactly like you were when you first met.*

*Step 4: Get your Butler to direct her somewhere else.*

*Step 4(a): Create a scenario where you have to run away.*

*Step 5: Stash brother on board fancy yacht.*

*Step 6: Get Housekeeper to make yacht captain drive all the way out to sea. (This part is not creepy I promise)*

*Step 7: Get Detective to call girlfriend with news that brother is alive.*

Issue 2: Whether speed dial assassins should come back to blackmail the Evil CEO?

RedRosette J: Umm hello! He’s an assassin for hire for God’s sake Evil CEO man why are you so trusting? Obviously he’s going to come back and cause problems. Have you lived in some cave somewhere or under a rock? It’s the risk factor with hiring these speed dial assassins. They should come with a footnote: *may blackmail or cause problems later. And OMG of course he’s going to ask you for a million won in cash dude. It’s kind of how they roll and OF COURSE he made copies of the bloody USB. Evil people keep copies of copies. It comes with being evil. Not that Evil CEO would know, what with him being such a terrible villain and all. I kind of feel bad for him. He’s so stressed about this whole situation that he created and he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. Good luck getting out of this.

Issue 3: Whether peeling garlic makes you a better person? If so, should it be used to discipline high school gangsters?

RedRosette J: This is piece of #louislogic: peeling garlic makes you a better person, and as such, it should be used to discipline high school gangsters. I’m inclined to agree actually. Peeling garlic is horrible and an awful punishment. I would seriously reconsider causing trouble if I knew that the punishment involved peeling your weight in garlic. I loved how they made such a ruckus with the girls, only to bring them home, sit them down on a marble floor in front of a grand piano and made them peel garlic! I thought it was hilarious how every time they swore, they got 10kg added on! This is the ultimate revenge for getting caught conned! I think those girls would seriously regret behaving badly and become better people at the end of it. Now all that has to happen is for them to included into Bok Nam’s math tutorial from hell. I would pay to watch Butler Kim lose it while trying to teach these guys algebra!

*Hang in there…It’s for the benefit of humanity.*

RedRosette J Aside: That proposal was totally adorable. It was so their thing. It felt like there was so much meaning to the ring being in their little rooftop room, under the food hamper thing, and being a replica of the street ring…good stuff. Props to the writer for making us feel all the feels!

RedRosette J Sidebar: OMFG what the hell is this?!?! Why can they not dress this guy properly? This has to be deliberately done for comedy or something. Oska! You look like one of the freakin Bananas in Pajamas! There’s no way this is a coincidence:

Conclusion: Appeal Allowed

Rating: 4 = I’ll Give You A Cookie (Just because that reunion was so awesome!)
