So my rating goes up from the dismal 5 I gave the previous one. But Clyde Kusatsu Overused Asian actor with patently obvious limitations when it comes to more than just basic acting.
And as a Tae Kwan Do master? Surely they could have found some other Asian dude to play the overly protective Korean father, one who had more attitude, and at least lived up a bit to the character he is supposed to portray?
Truth be told, I like this episode even less than those that have gone before, but glamour-wise, it's up to the usual standard, which the previous one except for its welcome return of Kim the sandwich girl just wasn't. But it's incurably bland. Compared to the usually more upbeat stuff I collect. Lots of people would find it to be a decent show, high quality, many would love it.
I am NOT knocking it saying it is mediocre. It's not. I am saying it lacks the zing and the sparkle and the buzz that was needed to launch it into popularity. Like, the pretty lead is a great start. But look at the other characters. Leo and Lauren and that cap-wearing pram-pushing lame brother in the earlier episodes. See what I mean? The basic set-up was surely workable, but the magic ingredient to put some pulse into it, is quite obviously far beyond its reach.
Sarah Shahi deserved better. Not that this couldn't have been it. But it is not. Love the leggy box-covers. Disappointed by show. Details Edit. Release date March 17, United States. United States.

Kate mediates between computer chip inventor Marcus, who is ready to commit suicide rather then surrender his brainchild, and his boss, industrialist John Marsden.
However Marcus also used some nasty tricks. Lauren's bully tactics spare a client from bigamy by making her ex grant the never-filed divorce he no longer wants. Add content advisory. User reviews 1 Review. Top review. Kim the sandwich girl. Markus has invented the next generation in handhelds, the , but refuses to hand over the prototype to his investor boss.
The guy is prepared to jump off the roof six storeys down rather than hand it over. Kate talks him down. What utter tripe! The turnabout in the plot illustrates that the guy was simply manipulating for dramatic effect, and the whole story-line is therefore about as palatable as melted jelly. Sweet, watery, and worthless. As usual, pretty Sarah Shahi, as Kate, backs up the gooey melodrama with her genuine caring.
She makes it worth watching, but only while she is on the screen. The frequent cuts to Lauren, aw, boring, boring. Lawyerspeak legalese about divorce proceedings, yawn, pardon me, but how could this other woman, who wants to adopt, only now have problems what with her first marriage not having been legally annulled?
How did she get past that getting married the second time? That bit is not explained. Flaws are hidden behind cute, charming, effervescent, very likable Kate.
As for mediating, cool, as for judges in white wigs, uncool. I like the basic premise, this skillful socially-adept fight- stopper I totally admire Sarah Shahi. Good idea, yes, but on the verge of falling flat ever since it's been out of the starting gate. Hot newcomer well, is she a one-off?
I'm not peeking ahead Kim the sandwich girl Ooh tall, lean, elegant, angelic, and Leo thinks she's not va-va-voom enough for fantasy art? Stupid boy. That girl is scorching sizzling searing hot!! Six episodes down, and it continues to fail to impress script- wise.
Of course the stories have heart. And it's a gentle show. And it's not for me to criticize, I'm not in the target demographic. Good stuff for gentle viewers. Too bland for anyone who wants something thrilling.
