The K2

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.

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

The Series was good. The acting was absolutely amazing. It went downhill everytime it comes to scene between the Lead Actor Ji Chang Wook and weekly portrayed character of the heroin,Go Anna (Im yoon ah). It was pain to watch them trying too hard, yet cannot beat the chemistry between the lead male and the lead female antagonist, Choi Yoo Jin (Song Yoon Ah) The series was on the peak eventho just few episodes in the beginning and went straight downhill after gave one episode for the hero n heroin to work they way in convincing audience that they are in love. The director tried so hard portraying the heroin as a beautiful,ie angel of Barcelona etc. but the reality was she is not. Even the lead antagonist actress which is 17 years older than her outshine her too easily.

In sad scenes btwn hero and heroin, no tears flowed. As the love doesn't feel real. But the scenes btwn the hero and lady antagonist, let it be love, respect,or just friendship, when their eyes met every one can feel the powerful tensions of care.

We agreed if they change the actress who played the heroin to a better acting, prettier, charismatic actress then we wont mind the story line.

Or they can tweak so the romance is between Hero and the lead antagonist. It will be like the amazing Hollywood film THE BODYGUARD but better with its own twists and turns.Hence it will stuck strong in our heart, better viewing ratings, and will stand proud, unforgettable among the most amazing kdrama.

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!

I was hooked on this until (netflix) episode 4 when i nearly fell off my lounge with the shower scene. After putting my eyes back in my head i proceeded to binge watch, overlooking the terrible CGI mistakes like when he takes a small step up and magically flies onto the roof and some of the weird martial arts moves.

A great action drama with an alright plot line, with eye candy galore for the female viewer - i might even upgrade this to a 10 if the shirts come off again. (More than once and i'm moving to Korea tomorrow). Men will love the action in this series and the McGuyver-esque abilities this guy has with everything.

A definite must-see.
