The K2

Can this storyline be any better? No. Can there be such a better strong female antagonist? Definitely not. I loved the fact that this drama kept the typical k drama romance aside and really flourished a UNIQUE COMPLEX never seen before chemistry between protagonist male and antagonist female. Bravo to the actress playing Choi Yoon. Would have rated this drama a solid 6 without her in it. I was confused about what Kim Je Ha actually thought about Choi Yoon though. How come he asked nothing about her to Mirror? Well, I was in cloud 9 after watching this. I hope u will be too!

First, Choi Yoo Jin had carried out the role in perfect shot! Well done! Beside having the actions thrill, the story ended without indepth review of the relationship between K2 and Je Ha....sad... An-na role is the most boring part of the show... not much opportunity for her to emphazise different expression...I love the supporting roles which made the entire drama more interesting..all thanks to the professional actors and actresses.. It is a waste to see a talented professional body guard to stay inhouse protecting a lady..this part of the story can improve..I shall say K2 had delivered a good shot of his role. His hairstyle with the long fringe 🤔 still prefer his smart look. Hope to see more of JCW action drama 😃☺ Cloud 9 is the best part that i liked! Mystery is all there for us to find out...haha! Overall the drama can extend few more episode will be perfect!

The reason you should give this a watch is for an outstanding female antagonist unlike anyone you have ever seen before. Song Yoon Ah who played Choi Yoo Jin is truly remarkable and her character has so much depth that she deservedly outshines everyone in this drama and beyond. I couldn't help but empathize with her throughout the story due to her emotive acting and was constantly rooting for her even though she was the main antagonist.

Things I liked:

• Best female antagonist (unbelievably, she wasn't even nominated for Best Actress at Baeksang Art Awards)
• Fast paced screenplay
• Good action choreography (over the top but enjoyable)

Things I didn't like:

• Quite a few implausible events in the plot

I've watched this drama a long time ago, and even after all this time there's something about The K2 that just simply remains in the air. What makes this drama taste different is the complex relationship between the hero, lead actor Ji Chang Wook, and the antihero Song Yun-ah. Unexpected. And their acting skills. Superb. Scenography, storyline and cast are ok most of the time, and impressive on a few occasions, the action scenes seriously well done (lead actor is impressive in combat skills and stunts) and the plot really captivating. The antagonists in this drama are interesting and well portrayed, but the real magic happens when the hero K2 and Madame Choi take the scene. As actors, they excelled. On their own and together. The evolution of their relationship in the drama is unexpected, hard to understand at first, atypical. The character of Madame Choi is something you won't forget easily... If you really understand what's going on. One of the most brilliant antihero out there. Worth watching.

I was kind pessimistic that Ji Chang Wook could play well in this movie since his face is too handsome, too friendly, and too soft to cast a highly trained spec ops soldier. I thought So Ji Sub would be better for this role since he is bigger and has tougher face than him. But after I see him acting in this movie my doubt disappear. He must be trained and prepared very well in this movie because I can see hungry predatory stare on his eyes and also showing excellent athletic and fighting skill. Two thumbs up for Ji Chang Wook. Also I give special credit to Song Yun-ah who played the role as smart ambitious beautiful and tricky chaebol heirs which you can hardly tell whether she is truly generous or just a gimmick to get sympathy from people. Ji Chang Wook character was half forced to cooperate with this evil woman but he can not refuse her offer because he need her unlimited resources to revenge the death of her lover. The conflict in this movie is kind of complicated since the "good" side is not that good and the "bad" side is not also that bad. Many grey area shown by character in this movie to show how rotten the politics is.
