The K2

If you like martial arts action with a dose of political intrigue and a side of love story this will hit the spot. I am not a big fan as I can never understand why there is so much hand to hand fighting when they have guns, but I did enjoy the storyline so stuck with it and overall found the series enjoyable. My favourite character was Choi Yoo-Jin played by Song Yoon-ah who though incredibly evil you could sense there was a heart in there somewhere. The love story was ok and but for a person who earns his living fighting hordes of people the male lead was incredibly lucky to keep his stunning good looks to the end.

Can this storyline be any better? No. Can there be such a better strong female antagonist? Definitely not. I loved the fact that this drama kept the typical k drama romance aside and really flourished a UNIQUE COMPLEX never seen before chemistry between protagonist male and antagonist female. Bravo to the actress playing Choi Yoon. Would have rated this drama a solid 6 without her in it. I was confused about what Kim Je Ha actually thought about Choi Yoon though. How come he asked nothing about her to Mirror? Well, I was in cloud 9 after watching this. I hope u will be too!

I was hooked on this until (netflix) episode 4 when i nearly fell off my lounge with the shower scene. After putting my eyes back in my head i proceeded to binge watch, overlooking the terrible CGI mistakes like when he takes a small step up and magically flies onto the roof and some of the weird martial arts moves.

A great action drama with an alright plot line, with eye candy galore for the female viewer - i might even upgrade this to a 10 if the shirts come off again. (More than once and i'm moving to Korea tomorrow). Men will love the action in this series and the McGuyver-esque abilities this guy has with everything.

A definite must-see.

Ji Chang-wook is just amazing, he carried so hard this TV series along with the stepmother, actress Song Yoon-ah. I think they had better chemistry than K2 with Anna. I didn't particularly liked Anna as a character or the actress herself, didn't move me at all. All in all, great series.

I've watched this drama a long time ago, and even after all this time there's something about The K2 that just simply remains in the air. What makes this drama taste different is the complex relationship between the hero, lead actor Ji Chang Wook, and the antihero Song Yun-ah. Unexpected. And their acting skills. Superb. Scenography, storyline and cast are ok most of the time, and impressive on a few occasions, the action scenes seriously well done (lead actor is impressive in combat skills and stunts) and the plot really captivating. The antagonists in this drama are interesting and well portrayed, but the real magic happens when the hero K2 and Madame Choi take the scene. As actors, they excelled. On their own and together. The evolution of their relationship in the drama is unexpected, hard to understand at first, atypical. The character of Madame Choi is something you won't forget easily... If you really understand what's going on. One of the most brilliant antihero out there. Worth watching.
