The K2

Ji Chang-wook is just amazing, he carried so hard this TV series along with the stepmother, actress Song Yoon-ah. I think they had better chemistry than K2 with Anna. I didn't particularly liked Anna as a character or the actress herself, didn't move me at all. All in all, great series.

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.

If you like martial arts action with a dose of political intrigue and a side of love story this will hit the spot. I am not a big fan as I can never understand why there is so much hand to hand fighting when they have guns, but I did enjoy the storyline so stuck with it and overall found the series enjoyable. My favourite character was Choi Yoo-Jin played by Song Yoon-ah who though incredibly evil you could sense there was a heart in there somewhere. The love story was ok and but for a person who earns his living fighting hordes of people the male lead was incredibly lucky to keep his stunning good looks to the end.

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!

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.
