The K2

Of course I love Ji Chang-Wook (who doesn't?), however in this series I loved Yun-ah Song who plays Choi Yoo-jin. Both the script and the play for her character were at the highest level, and this kept me watching and watching and watching until towards the end of episode 16. Kim Je-ha is non plausible in plenty of situations, Anna is not bad, but unnaturally full of wisdom after an entire life of complete wisdom-less, the others either laugh like cows when they shouldn't or behave like clowns when the situation requires a completely different attitude. Yun-ah is amazing, Dong-mi and Sung-ha are kind of ok, the others are pathetic. The script is not bad, but the other guys make it ridiculous.

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.

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.

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.

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!
