Park Hae Jin heats up the screen in Man to Man.

JTBC has shot up the Friday-Saturday slot with new pre-produced drama Man to Man.
Park Hae Jin plays the main lead as a special international agent K (Kim Seul Woo) who was dispatched back to Seoul after completing a series of mission. Being an elite in his field, he has kept his identity a secret and taken up a new challenge that is protect a big Hallyu action star Yeo Un Gwang played by Park Sun Woong

Yeo is a bratty spoiled celebrity who loves harassing his team except for his manager Cha Do Ha- played by Kim Min Jung who happens to be a fanatic fan of him. 

Yeo might be a playboy type but deep down inside he still thinks of his ex-girlfriend and former Miss Korea- Song Mi Eun - played by Chae Jung Ahn. Song is happily married to a rich husband Mo Seung Jae played by Yeon Jang Hoon who is a devoted father to a family but he has a weird possessive character.

I give credits to Park Hae Jin who looked stunning with his chisel-ed face, his action scenes were great and his poker face whenever he sees something. K does get annoyed with Cha who often has a bad vibe against him but he brushes her away easily. Park Sun Woong is amazing with his comical antics at times. Yeon Jang Hoon gives the scary chills when his expression changes to evil look. Chae Jung Ahn is a sassy looking character who styles up well. 

To be honest, I am neither liking the character of Cha Do Ha nor the actress herself. Her acting skills, appearance and everything of Kim Min Jung was over the top and just irritating (quite an eyesore in the picture). Plus all I can visualise is her big bulging eyes and ugly bowl haircut seriously it turns me off. They should fire off the main stylist and coordinator for turning Kim Min Jung into a ugly duckling. Sighs...this is the time I wish we can switch the lead actress.

The drama turns out to be really comical at times when the one big celebrity forms a budding bromance with his bodyguard while K trying to solve the mystery and mission leading to why they wanted to kill Yeo.
