Good action scenes

Overall it's a nice show but the love story didn't convince me. I didn't feel the connection between the main characters. Não repetiria.................................................................

K2's really amazing - totally worth your time

LIKE

When Je Ha understood his assignment and went ahead without seeking Yoo Jin's approval - that moment he was so cool. Everyone would have fall in love with him

When Yoo Jin played everyone else out - good twist

Se Joon's decision in the end - that was pretty touching

DISLIKE

An Na's character like nothing much here..

MUSIC - personal fav

As Time Stops - Park Kwang Sun

REWATCH VALUE

Yes definitely

Ji Chang Wook is the only good point

As said in my headline, the only positive thing about "the K2" is the main actor Chi Jang Wook who almost carried the show. Unfortunately, him being good alone is not enough.
I dropped at the episode 6, I even forced myself to continue until the episode 6 because I was hopping it would be better but I was wrong.

Let me start with my biggest disappointment : the romance. The romance in the drama was in my opinion the biggest negative point, it was too cringy, embarassing, boring and childish to a point where I just had to stop because it was ridiculous, honestly.
Secondly, the female lead Im Joon Ah was not good enough, I am sorry, in my point of view, her acting skill is lacking, it is not bad but when you play alongside Ji Chang Wook, you should have a decent level because if it is not the case, your poor skill will be seen from far away, sorry.
Thirdly, the story was lowkey lacking as well, I felt there were too many plot and it was kind of like a mess, it almost was good but it was not (the political stuff had potential to be entertaining but it quickly became boring and also because of the romance who ruined it as I previoulsy stated).

Overall, I feel sorry for Ji Chang Wook, man I am sorry for you. You deserved better.

this drama was so good..fascinating, 3 dimensional characters..really interesting..I think the thing that impressed me the most was it was different from other dramas..it was not your usual Korean drama. a lot of unexpected turns. Right up until the end of the drama, we were left guessing. and my one of favorite actor of Korea Ji Chang Wook. and the way he was fighting took breath way..action suits him a lot.

I'll keep this review short.

Have you every had an empty feeling after watching a great show? After watching The K2, I felt a deep void. This show is amazing and I loved watching it the first time especially because everything was fresh to me. The second time I watched it I couldn't have the same feeling ever again because I already knew what was going to, which is why I felt that empty feeling when I finished that last episode. I actually watched this show a few months ago and I still really love it. The one this I didn't like was the An na character. She was kinda annoying in the show and I didn't really like her ending up with K2. I loved Choi Yoo Jin so much and I felt kinda disappointed when she didn't end up with the ML. I felt such good chemistry with Yoo Jin and K2 way more than K2 and Anna. Anyway, I was still satisfied by the ending and anyone who hasn't watched it should watch it.

Why I watched it: Ji Chang Wook. After Healer, he ended up on “the list.”

Was it worth it: Yes

What I liked the most: The actors did an excellent job.

What I disliked the most: Lee Jung Jin’s character. Ugh.

Moment Meter: 2/10 – Pretty tame, particularly for an action drama.

Other thoughts: As I sit here thinking about it, I’m just now realizing what an interesting story line this drama had. Usually I hate politics in dramas, but this one was interesting from beginning to end. There were a lot of characters that I loved to hate and only a few that I really sided with. The pacing was great, and there was just the right amount of action in it. I’m always grateful for the omission of constant shaky cam. It wasn’t non-stop action the entire time and it wasn’t endlessly long with nothing happening either. I’m pretty sure Ji Chang Wook had a wound on his body at any given time throughout the entire thing. The acting was solid, and I really like the choreography for the first fight, but every fight after that seemed a bit weak (especially because I can’t help but compare to Healer). The ending was good and satisfying.

Conclusion: I would classify this as a melodrama with a hint of action. It wasn’t a favorite, but it was very solid.

The acting was ok, music is decent, the cinematography was even nice, but it goes nowhere, it wants to to be this great epic show to hard, but it feel more like a wet dream of some stuntmen beeing in charge to make a show script... It can be great to kickstart a show with some action, but this one seem to never find the baseline to build up from ... There are some shows worse/cheaply made, in this one there is some crispness in style and visuals, but maybe its just personal taste, i never warmed up to it.

I tried to think of something I didn't like about the drama and I couldn't think of any. For those that don't know me, all my dramas, when I first start watching them, starts with a rating of 10. Then I deduct points or half points as the story progresses when I don't like something. And as I finished, I couldn't think of anything that I didn't like.

THE STORY
The story was good. It sort of gave me a Snow White vibe, especially the Mirror part. For me, I think the pacing was great and the sweet moments gave me the right amount of feels. The action part was pretty good too.

THE ACTING/CAST
The acting was great. After reading The Lunar Chronicles, (any readers out there? anyone? no?) anyways, Song Yoon Ah's character reminded me of Levana or I guess in Snow White, the evil stepmother. But I sort of compare her more to Levana. In the Lunar Chronicles, she was evil but there was also a side of her that was misunderstood by many. Ji Chang Wook is always awesome. I've loved him since I watched him in Healer. Yoona was good too.

THE MUSIC
That opening scene music always reminded me of Star Wars for some reason. (Sorry, not sorry, I am proud to admit I'm a nerd).

REWATCH VALUE
I wouldn't mind re-watching this again. Not so soon though, but maybe someday later.

OVERALL
Like I said. I couldn't think of anything I didn't like from the drama. Even the side characters were endearing. And the ending was good for me. Better than the ending of the one drama of Yoona's that I watched.

I've just finished watching "The K2", and i really enjoyed it...
I can't say weather it is Ji Chang Wook (one of my most favorite actors, whom i've missed to see in dramas) or Song Yoon Ah (the step-mother) ,who mad this drama so impressive for me... The story was good enough, but the acting was the best and couldn't be any better...
I highly recommend everyone to watch this drama...

Un drama d'action sympathique

Même si ce drame ne restera pas "LE" drama de l'année, j'avoue avoir passé un bon moment.

Et pourtant c'était mal parti ! En effet, au bout de 3 épisodes, je n'avais pas accroché : Beaucoup d'actions, peu d'histoire, j'ai donc laissé en suspens plusieurs semaines, avant de me décider à réessayer.

Et j'avoue, dès le 4ème et 5ème épisode, je suis partie pour de vrai dans l'histoire.

Ji Chang Wook est toujours aussi bon dans ce genre de rôle avec des scènes d'actions, et il sait être tout autant dur avec ses ennemis que touchant avec Im Yoon Ah.

Les rôles secondaires, surtout ceux qui naviguent au plus proche des deux rôles principaux, sont bien tenus.

Une aparté pour Song Yoon Ah, qui joue le rôle de la méchante à la perfection, ainsi que sa dualité, qui, moi, m'a touchée, et j'avais presque mal au cœur pour elle.

Les petits points négatifs : De l'action et des scènes de combat c'est bien, de l'histoire c'est bien aussi… Au bout d'un moment l'action tue l'action. Je trouve que l'histoire s'étoffe et devient intéressante bien trop tard dans les épisodes.

Un drama avec beaucoup d'actions, un peu de romance, juste de quoi passer un bon moment sans en attendre plus.
