First of all, the drama is great. The lowkey romance, the love- hate (not really love hate but kind of) relationship between seul gi and hyun jin ,the coldness of the male lead, the mysterious deaths, the dealer and more.However, there are parts that is hard to understand. There are some parts where the action is just--- not enough. They should have given nana more action and more badass side. But yeah, over all it's great. I was about to drop it in the near end but i was somehow curious about it.
The end, it was ughh, why?! I was expecting something like a blossoming love but-- ughhh. It was a sad ending and i feel sorry for seulgi. And the arson victim being "kind" in the end is a little unrealistic, but yeah alright he had some conscience, acceptable. And the children.... This drama will surely make you cry.
The acting, nana, is so great. The same goes with the rest of the cast (idk the names) They gave justice to their characters.
I don't really give much attention to the music but i guess it's good HAHAHA.
But rewatching it is not a great option for me. Maybe when I feel like watching it again. HAHAHA

This drama was undoubtedly amazing. Even more the fact that it was only 12 episodes long. It didn't have any romance (even though it was obvious the male leads liked each other) but a lot of childhood common ground, and I liked it that way. So it focused more on the plot of the drama than any romance. I'm also a sucker for strong female leads.. This was absolutely brilliant.I cried with Do Hyun Jin at the end when Soo Hyun died.. I was honestly so sad... But this was the most fantastic thriller drama I've ever watched in my life.
I'd recommend it 100% but if you like romantic cliche dramas and not bloody action or murder.. I'd recommend not to watch..

Of course I'm a action fanatic and love martial arts and other fighting styles so when I see that this was action I clicked on it. Plus at the time I started watching this I had hit a Korean action drama drought. I hate when that happens because I know there's a lot of dramas out there like this but is hard to find.
Since June or July of last year I have probably watched close to 50 Korean dramas. I've watched a lot and have dropped a few.
This one did not get dropped.
As always I look for good chemistry between the actors and this one had it. I even liked the FL and I usually don't care for Korean female actresses because of the way they're portrayed. Any female Korean actor that can hold her on in a drama gets a thumbs up for me and the FL got a thumbs up for me.
It's been a few months since I've seen this drama but I will say this drama worked for me. I don't remember anything disappointing in this drama.
The action worked. The chemistry worked. I didn't like the ending but it was realistic. I was hoping it didn't end the way it did but I'm glad it didn't have a cliche ending.
Glad to know this one is on my favorites list

Compelling, tense entry in the assassin genre
Does "Kill It" have a particularly original story? Nope.Does it feature a dynamic performance by the main character? Uh, not really.
Is the background to the plot laid out in a coherent manner? Not even close.
Are there characters that serve no purpose and the production would be better off without? Very much so.
Is it branded well (title, poster, etc.)? That's all horrible.
Is David McInnis competent with a Russian accent? It's a 0/10. Incredibly bad.
Despite these shortcomings and some others, "Kill It" is an admirably executed show in a genre that, worldwide, has produced some incredibly entertaining pieces. Jang Ki Yong certainly has the assassin role down. In fact, he's almost too grim and silent. But he is wholly convincing physically and athletically as Soo Hyun. Nana is not a natural for the role of veteran, hard-nosed detective. It's the off-duty scenes where she is clearly more at ease in this role. Nevertheless, she is capable enough as an actor to hit the serious notes too.
Jung Hae Kyun is a marvelous villain. And the villainy that he is up too is top of the charts for bad behavior. Once his scheme has crystallized, "Kill It' really hits its stride. Moreover, unlike some dramas that like to rehabilitate or humanize their villains, not here. Quite the opposite actually and it ratchets the tension up continuously right up to the end.
The standout performance, however, is Roh Jeong Eui as, Seul Ki, the young woman taken in by Soo Hyun as a child. It is a complex character and Roh Jeong Eui is wonderful in every facet.
Despite some lowered expectations with the poor marketing and a fairly clumsy first few episodes, the second half of "Kill It" is terrific entertainment. It may not be something for all viewers, but anyone that enjoys the action genre will be pleased.

What a Thrill.
This is my first Review, and well, I recently just finished this Show and what can I say?The show is fantastic, from episode 1 you are instantly thrown into a dark gritty action packed series that has you on the edge of your seat from First To Last Episode.
This show has one of the most unique stories, I think I've ever watched. You will end up caring about the vast majority of the characters in the show by the end of it.
It's a really good watch and can be completed in a weekend, so if you need something to keep you on the edge of your seat, I fully recommend this series.

CAST/ACTING: Jang Ki Yong was just beyond amazing, the way he portrayed a complex character like Soo Hyeon. The way he portrayed most of the characters emotions through his eyes. It spoke to me. Nana definitely surprised me, never knew how great of an actress she is. The other actors did justice to their characters. Definitely a well cast drama.
OST: I personally really liked the soundtrack. They fit in well with the ambience of the drama.
REWATCH: I don't really re-watch dramas, but there are definitely some scenes that i would watch again.
SUBTLE SPOILER: I'm glad that all the people that needed to be punished, got a befitting ending. It was right to end this drama like the way it did. Bittersweet, but i think sometimes it's good to end a drama like this. It can't always be rainbows and unicorns.
I really want to see Jang Ki Yong and Nana in another drama together, more precise a romance one.
P.S. Grey (the dog) is such a beautiful dog!!

It was an emotional rollercoaster. There was a small hint of a little romance, but not as a huge theme. What I did love was how relationships were made, broken, and betrayed.
It's not THAT violent and almost everything is censored. The finale had me quite literally shaking out of nervousness and I cried for 20 minutes afterward. I would recommend this for everyone, even if mysteries aren't your forté. It's worth it.

Wonderful story, acting, ending but some major plot holes
This drama was amazing. I liked almost everything about it, but after watching it, I am still confused. Though it seems like the show is wrapped up, some things make absolutely no sense. Like, I loved the story, it was compelling, the acting was great but there were some things just missing. I kind of wish they made it at least one episode longer to address some parts of the plotOverall, I loved the main characters and their acting. Su Hyeon is a wonderful assassin-wooden log. Nana is so great as Do Hyeon jin, although really, some more exploration into the depths of her character would be wonderful. I would have liked to see more about her childhood after she was adopted. How did she meet the reporter man?
Seul gi is adorable really, and so was Philip. I wanted to see more of Philip.
Plot holes:
1) Ko Hyeon Woo mentioned that Seul gi is Su Hyeon's daughter... How? Never explained again, apart from that one line. I was waiting for them to explain that uptil the ending credits.
2) Why did Hyeon jin's reporter boyfriend die? What is his connection to Seul gi's grandfather, and what happened there? It was never explained why he died near her grandfather, as he lived in Seoul and Seul gi's grandfather did not. Even if we assume that it was ordered by Do Jae Hwan as a pre emptive measure for the article, why would he get Pavel to do it, and why was the notebook burned?
3) What is with the Blue eyes thing? We see sometimes in the starting of the drama, that the kid ML had blue eyes. Why? It was never expanded on.
4) Somehow, Philip was doing something shady, like playing both sides of the field- both with Karimov and the client, but somehow it was never explained why? I guess money, but they really could have put one scene in explaining that whole part.
5) Yoon Ji hye's sister is not a plot hole, but really they told us absolutely nothing about her.
Things I would have like to see more of:
Philip and Su Hyeon's backstory. Flashback of how they met.
Pavel and Su Hyeon
Su Hyeon and Do Hyeon jin's mother

"अच्छी तरह से किया फिल्माया , कलाकारों और चालक दल" को मेरी तरफ से वाहवाही।
मुझे ये कहानी बहुत अच्छी लगी | मतलब यह नाटक कमाल का है । आपको इसको जरूर देखना चाहिए |
किम सू ह्यून एक पशु चिकित्सक और एक पेशेवर हत्यारे के किरदार को बखूबी से निभाया है | मुख्य महिला पात्र का किरदार कमजोर है,
यह मेरी व्यक्तिगत राय है ~ इसका कहानी या किसी देश से कोई लेना-देना नहीं है
पुलिस कभी भी किसी भी देश में स्ट्रांग पॉइंट क्यू नहीं रखती हमेशा टॉप मैनेजमेंट की कटपुतली की तरह दर्शया जाता है जो की सही भी है |
पोलिटिकल और पैसे वाले नाचते है असल में भी |
After so long, the story can touch your heart, "Well done filmed, cast and crew" applause.
I liked this story very much. This play is awesome. You must watch it,
Kim Soo Hyun has played the role of a vet and a professional killer perfectly. The character of the main female character is weak,
This is my personal opinion ~ It has nothing to do with the story or any country
the police never holds strong point i don't know why? in any country it is always shown as a puppet of the top management which is also right. Political and money people dance actually.

Good story killed with last episode.
The drama was enjoyable. The writers sugested how will it end so, you could guess that the male lead will get punished for his crimes. This is cliché, but at the same time it could be understable. But how they did it, it is close to retarded at best. The best killer goes through front door and starts shooting everybody (first WTF), then when he is about to kill main villan. here comes famale lead with SWAT team and they kill MC ( second WTF). He didn't even point gun at them. Earlier the police released villan because of lack of evidence. So sombody tell me why she went there again, and with SWAT team? This clearly means that she killed him !!!The villan didn't call thw SWAT team. She did it on her own. And this "timing" when police arrives, What a garbage writing.
