Korean Drama " The King of Pigs " is a serial killer story with a slow build-up.

The drama is truly dark, not shying away from the gore, which wasn't only there for the shock effect, but to enhance the intensity of the drama. The background story was near horrifying and is being explained slowly, as it helps uncover the current murder case as well.

In addition, the performances were great by everyone in the cast.

And the ending suited the drama perfectly, with the pace of the story fast. The cinematography of the series was pretty impressive too, with the flashbacks well handled.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Crazy twist and turns, it had me pulling my hair out, but in a good way. It's exciting and has unexpected turns but still feels very realistic. It's scary, dark, and most definitely a tragedy but was so compelling I couldn't stop watching. And the dog and pig symbolism is simply gutting (again in a good way). I loved it, the revenge is satisfying but also makes you feel kinda sad. And I would say it's similar to "The Glory" in many ways (school bullying revenge). Also it brings more attention to how serious bullying is. It's amazing and a definite must watch if you can handle lots of sadness and some gore.

It's criminal for this series hasn't got many reviews. If this was on Netflix this would've been viral. If you love thriller, this one's for you. Fast paced and edge of seat kinda series. Sad, gritty and gory at the same time. Hope this gets more attention.

Really strong, well written thriller that pulls you in from ep 1 and is entertaining from start to finish. It is dark and treats a heavy subject, but if you are ok with that, you will not be able to look away.

In my opinion, it is definitely the best k-drama thriller of 2022 and one of the best of all time.

Masterpiece Thriller Web Series I Ever Watched My Life I Got Ghoosebumps So Many Damn......... Background Music So Exellent... Special His Story Telling Soo Good........ I Love This Web series Hats Off🙌.

I can't believe this KDrama doesn't have more reviews; it's seriously underrated! It's a gripping thriller that hooked me right from the first episode and kept me entertained the whole way through. Yeah, it goes into some dark and heavy stuff, but if you're cool with that, you won't be able to stop watching.

The show doesn't shy away from the gore, but it's not just for shock value-it adds this intense layer to the drama. The background story is pretty intense and gets revealed slowly, connecting to the current murder case in a way that keeps you guessing.

And can we talk about the performances? Everyone in the cast nails it. The ending is spot-on, fitting the drama perfectly, and the story moves at a great pace. The cinematography is top-notch too, especially how they handle flashbacks. Seriously, give this one a shot; it deserves way more love for its killer plot, amazing performances, and overall storytelling.

Masterpiece Korean Series! An intense thriller created on an impactful storyline of bullying in childhood. Kudos to the creators for picking up this storyline of bullying n bullying is very real n it has taken many lives n left many mentally handicapped n it exists even today for real. Starts on a very weird note n looks unpromising in the beginning but the way it evolves n unfolds is brilliant. Basically story revolves around revenge for the damage caused by bullying in childhood. The characterisation n direction gets full point. Kim Chul as a child actor leaves an unforgetful impact. There was not even one moment where it feels bored. Climax was extremely unique than any can imagine. A must watch if you like psychological thrillers. 12 episodes series Available in all major languages including Hindi. My ratings 9/10!

Whenever we trough about our childhood we mostly see the bright side but this series force us to view the darkest side...Just move back in your past and you will see the darkest time as well .. Just love this series.

The direction of the show is impeccable; from the plot to the characters, and even the actors' performances, everything is top-notch. It effectively portrays the impact of bullying on its victims and their enduring suffering. While the story is fictional, it realistically depicts a scenario that could occur without the revenge killings. It sheds light on how bullies often move on with their lives while their victims continue to struggle. The series is meticulously crafted to captivate viewers, although its lack of virality is regrettable. Nevertheless, this series is a hidden gem. The only gripe I have is the portrayal of the police as slow. Although it serves the narrative, it's a minor annoyance for me. Despite this, the series is well worth my time and certainly didn't disappoint.

Oh wow okay, i finished it like 2 days ago and i cant stop thinking abou it honestly, it made me cry twice while watching and i rarely cry watching anything. You just can´t help but feel extremly bad for him. Its also the best revenge drama ive seen, i love the revenge genre and also read mangas and manhwas about it but never has it ever felt so satisfying. This show is probably now my fav kdrama with strangers from hell, i hope more people watch this underrated kdrama and talk more about it.

Also the actors are amazing?? Especially the child actors, cheolie´s actor was 12 when he filmed this, he was born in 2008 thats insane.
