2 Weeks

Love alarm, now Two weeks last episode last moment Brooking my heart.

I discovered Korean dramas when I watched City Hunter (2011) on Netflix and quickly became hooked. I've seen over 60 since then and now watch a lot more Korean than American TV shows. The great story-telling and acting make reading subtitles worthwhile. Two Weeks is now my favorite Korean drama because it has everything that makes Korean TV so compelling--high stakes, fascinating characters with interesting arcs, fantastic acting, great pacing, and lots of pretty people.

A man living an aimless life one day learns that he has a 7 year old daughter he never knew about. His ex-girlfriend has tracked him down because the little girl has leukemia and desperately needs a bone marrow transplant. When a blood test shows that he can save her life, he suddenly has a purpose for living, but then he is framed for murder because of the way he has been living. He has two weeks to prove his innocence (while being hunted by both the police and a ruthless assassin) so he can save his daughter and redeem his life.

All the main actors are talented and good-looking, but Lee Jun Ki is so outstanding, the series is worth watching just for his performance. He became a super star in Asia in 2005 for his performance as the beautiful minstrel (clown) in the record-breaking film "The King and the Clown." Since then he has been (among other types) a playboy, a delinquent, a secret agent, a Robin Hood-type legend, a journalist, and a Josean era magistrate who can see ghosts. Once again LJK is playing a role completely different from any of his previous roles and creating an unforgettable character.

The Koreans like to give acting awards for Best Couple each year. There are plenty of great relationships in this story, but I wouldn't be surprised if this year saw the first Best Couple award for a father/daughter relationship for LJK and the adorable little girl who plays his daughter. For all the great action and suspense, their relationship is the real heart of this story.

Not a single episode is boring. You'll feel all the excitement, cuteness, inspiration and love. Definitely a must watch tv series you won't regret.

TWO THUMBS UP - Another underrated drama! As usual, lower ratings like this series came up one of the best. This kdrama has all the emotions and will keep you entertained til the end. I will not spoil with the story as it is best if you watch it but this is an inspiring drama for the family with everything in it to keep you at the edge of your seat! Kudos to Jang Tae San and the rest of the crew for superb acting. 💯👏

If you like watching thriller series, this is perfect for binge watching. You will be glued to the story. If you are someone emotional too, you won't forget it. And if you love kids, you will regret not watching it.

If you are new into the korean world coming with the experience of watching high quality British and American tv shows, and that's why afraid ( may be you have looked over the web and have only found out how beautiful ROMANTIC korean dramas are and that unfortunately is not your genre ), don't be because I was once there too not too long ago. This was only my second korean drama.
