Maldito Dia de Sorte

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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!
