Hyena

This kdrama is such a pleasant surprise! The leading couple are not Barbie and Ken. They instead are smart, clever and flawed. This show is LOL funny with lots of fun plot twists. The writing and acting is so good! Highly recommend!

Not gonna lie but I started this drama for Kim Hye-soo (the brilliant leading actress as Jung Geum-ja). This is not really a drama about court and legal cases, it's more about the characters - how Yoon Hee-Jae and Jung Geum-ja do things similarly but also very differently. The script is good, something totally different from the cliche romantic kdrama (no offence), the acting of Hye-soo and Ju Ji-hoon are excellent as always. Hye-soo really can pull off a wide range of characters, I can't think of any other Korean actresses that can do a great job portraying this role. (So, kudos, Hye-soo unnie.) What I didn't expect that I'd root for is the chemistry and tension between the two main characters. I don't usually get attached to pairings on kdrama but this is really good. A must watch, trust me.

Brilliant performance from both the lead actors and the supporting cast, well written script, loved the charisma and the touch of frustrated lust scenes. Well worth the time spent watching it! Good job!

No Cinderella here , no wide eyed looks with the wrist grab , no plastic surgery or Rapunzel hairdos. Cutthroat intrigue and dark humor, if the woman starring here was a guy s(he) would have Cannon balls. A must watch !

Hyena is more thrilling than I expected. And it is rarely to see all castings have good-acting in Korean drama like Hyena. All actors did a good job.

The age gap between Kim Hye-soo and Ju Ji-hoon is an unnecessary problem. Instead, their chemistry in "Hyena" is out of my imagination. When Kim Hye-soo and Ju Ji-hoon have rows with sarcastic expression, their mocking eyes staring at each other is like passing the electrity instantly , and the sparks flying on dry air. This is why their chemistry becomes so sexy and hot even without long kiss scenes or bed scenes as those 99.9% Kdramas did.

Unlike most female leads always stand on righteous side, "Hyena" female lead is strong, clever, and extremely selfish-- earning more money by any means even that is immoral. The male lead is also strong ,clever, and arrogant. I really love to see the male lead expression when his pride is wounded after the female lead poaches his clients numerous times.

These settings make "Hyena" become so unique and interesting.

I hope the kdramas which is like "Hyena" will be more in the future.

But so far, this is the best love-hate relationship Korean drama for me.
