The King of Pigs

Really strong, well written thriller that pulls you in from ep 1 and is entertaining from start to finish. It is dark and treats a heavy subject, but if you are ok with that, you will not be able to look away.

In my opinion, it is definitely the best k-drama thriller of 2022 and one of the best of all time.

Superb direction.

Superb acting A must must watch legendary series.

Shows dark side of childhood.

Superb portray of friendship.

Thriller and mysterious.

Crazy twist and turns, it had me pulling my hair out, but in a good way. It's exciting and has unexpected turns but still feels very realistic. It's scary, dark, and most definitely a tragedy but was so compelling I couldn't stop watching. And the dog and pig symbolism is simply gutting (again in a good way). I loved it, the revenge is satisfying but also makes you feel kinda sad. And I would say it's similar to "The Glory" in many ways (school bullying revenge). Also it brings more attention to how serious bullying is. It's amazing and a definite must watch if you can handle lots of sadness and some gore.

It's criminal for this series hasn't got many reviews. If this was on Netflix this would've been viral. If you love thriller, this one's for you. Fast paced and edge of seat kinda series. Sad, gritty and gory at the same time. Hope this gets more attention.

Korean Drama " The King of Pigs " is a serial killer story with a slow build-up.

The drama is truly dark, not shying away from the gore, which wasn't only there for the shock effect, but to enhance the intensity of the drama. The background story was near horrifying and is being explained slowly, as it helps uncover the current murder case as well.

In addition, the performances were great by everyone in the cast.

And the ending suited the drama perfectly, with the pace of the story fast. The cinematography of the series was pretty impressive too, with the flashbacks well handled.

So, overall, eight out of ten.
