A Bloody Lucky Day

A Bloody Lucky Day is yet another hit series out of South Korea. I had no expectations going in to this as the premise did not sound too original, but I was dead wrong on that.

Our taxi driver protagonist (played by Lee Sung-min) starts off as an ordinary middle aged man, but the changes you see in his character are truly what makes the series a worthwhile and suspenseful viewing experience. He and our protagonist (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) also have great on-screen chemistry. The acting all around is top notch.

The creators of A Bloody Lucky Day certainly show their filmmaking prowess here by keeping the show fresh and interesting. There is hardly a dull moment.

Forgive me if this is a little bit vague. All I can say is give this series a chance, you won't be able to look away!

The storyline is exciting and tense, a taxi driver who is kind and loves his family meets a mysterious man who has no empathy and no fear, on the other hand there is a mother who lost her child, believing that her child was a murder victim.

The first episode is tense, there is no need to doubt that the senior actor's acting is very natural, the mysterious man has great character in playing his role, the struggle of a mother investigating the death of her child is very touching. The story is difficult to predict and there are some scenes of violence that are quite scary because there are a lot of horrors that are quite sadistic and emotionally draining in this series, but for those who like tense thriller stories, this is highly recommended and worth watching.

There is nothing to do, when the Koreans want to hit and shock the viewer they succeed and do not make discounts and this excellent mini series is the proof.

A Bloody lucky day is a tour de force in the meanders of human madness and wickedness and everything is told without discounts or censorship, all the horror and gratuitous wickedness that emanates from the character of Lee Beyong Sin freezes the blood, among other things excellent performance by Yoo Yeon Seok really excellent, and we end up in a whirlwind of truly devastating madness.

Also great is the character of Oh Taek (extraordinary Lee Sung Min) of which we see the change during the various episodes, from a helpless victim and incapable of reacting to a ruthless avenger.

The story nails the viewer to the chair from the first to the last episode, the script, with continuous flashbacks is written impeccably, without even the slightest smudge, something increasingly rare, especially in bad American productions.

A series that you absolutely must watch, knowing that in the end you will be left shocked and disturbed.

I have watched 498 kdramas and movies. This is one of the top 10 best acted, best scripted, most suspenseful of them all. It's so brutal and bloody ,but I was so engaged I couldn't look away. The cinematography and atmosphere are rich and intense. Don't miss it! The plot revolves around an encounter between a serial killer and a loving family man who fell victim to a scammer and lost all of his money. He becomes a taxi driver to try to make money to regain and reset his life. He ends up picking up a passenger who will stand in the way of his path to recovery. It's becomes a real thrill ride. Watch it!!

Korean shows and films about serial murder have made a huge inpact on the crime genre and this one is just an excellent example.

The story is great, but the fights and struggles definitely take the cake, they are raw, ruthless and while watching you can't help but feel actually scared of what human beings are capable of. Even though this show is fully fiction it definitely got some inspiration from events of the real world. The way it portrais psychopaths and victims of violent crimes are proffessionally executed.

The actors and actresses are definitely very talented, mainly our two main characters that created a bone-chilling atmosphere for this show.
