The King of Pigs

Masterpiece Korean Series! An intense thriller created on an impactful storyline of bullying in childhood. Kudos to the creators for picking up this storyline of bullying n bullying is very real n it has taken many lives n left many mentally handicapped n it exists even today for real. Starts on a very weird note n looks unpromising in the beginning but the way it evolves n unfolds is brilliant. Basically story revolves around revenge for the damage caused by bullying in childhood. The characterisation n direction gets full point. Kim Chul as a child actor leaves an unforgetful impact. There was not even one moment where it feels bored. Climax was extremely unique than any can imagine. A must watch if you like psychological thrillers. 12 episodes series Available in all major languages including Hindi. My ratings 9/10!

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.

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.

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.
