A Bloody Lucky Day

My wife and I both enjoyed this show immensely , we watched all 10 episodes over 3 evenings , the plot is clever, unpredictable and well thought out. The main characters were all played by excellent actors. I would say if you liked the movie Parasite then it's highly likely that you will enjoy this series , I watched it with the English dubbing on and was impressed with the voices and after a while forgot that it was dubbed .

I really don't understand why the programme has a rating as low as 7.3 , the other shows I've watched so far this year are Severance, another K drama called Stranger and The Day of the Jackal and although I liked all of these I thought Bloody Lucky Day was better

give this show a spin I don't think many will be disappointed .

Korean Drama '' A Bloody Lucky Day '' is a psychological thriller that centers around its characters.

The drama has many unpredictable twists, and even though the plot gets frustrating at times, it is thrilling and suspenseful till the very ending.

The characters of the drama, in addition, are all interesting and aid with the success of the drama a lot. The performances, moreover, are excellent and everyone did a great job, including the side characters. The two main leads were, actually, great.

The action scenes, also, were nicely embedded in the story, and the blood, even though was plenty, wasn't distracting the audience from the main plot.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

A BLOODY LUCKY DAY (2023 - ) is a interesting and thrilling Kdrama about an optimistic taxi driver who is desperate to pay off his financial debts, having been a victim of a scammer, in order to restore and reunite his family. In order to accomplish this, he begins taking on extra clientele, one of which turns out to be a serial killer.

Lee Sung-min plays the optimistic, kind-natured, Oh Taek. He is very believable and memorable in his role and I always enjoy his acting. His happy-go-lucky persona is perfectly counter balanced by the dark, sadistic character of Lee Byeong-min (played by Yoo Yeon-seok). The two have an interesting chemistry and creates great tension for the series.

There is another parallel storyline in this series about a mother (Yoon Se-na played by Han Dong-hee) doggedly searching for her son's killer. She is another excellent and believable character and you can really empathize for her situation.

The whole series is really intense, realistic and compelling and although there are a few aspects where you may have to suspend your belief, it never felt too much and certainly kept things interesting.

"An ordinary taxi driver who becomes entangled with a customer that turns out to be a serial killer."

Overall, this was an excellent show. I appreciate the unique approach to the somewhat overdone genre and topic of mystery / thrillers concerning serial killers. The acting is really great, as is the storyline, settings and music. This was a really fun watch, great for fans of suspense, mystery and thriller Kdramas and I can't wait to see more! Wooo Part 2!

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.

Sometimes I just love chilling out to crap TV.... I just tune out and disappear....right?

But this isn't that.

This is quirky, different and decidedly Unpredictable.

It's interesting and edgy....

I'm telling you I'm a BIG FAN of Korean TV.

You'll be on the edge of your seat, screaming at the screen, arguing with your friends about details, and planning your own escape, defense and attack at the SAME TIME.

It's hilariously different from Western TV. Hilarious blended with the perfect amount of Excitement.

It's actually quite brilliant.

It takes a certain level of intelligence to let go of preconceived notions and formatting....but if you're open....you will LOVE this series.

Quirky. Funny. Exciting.
