Gay? K!
This is one of those shows that I feel like I should have liked more than I actually did. I was really excited to start this drama, since this show is generally in the same "genre" of k-dramas that I like. The cast is stellar and having seen some clips on twitter from the show I really thought I would like it more. But unfortunately, I was slightly disappointed. Not because the show has a glaring issue, because in my eyes it doesn't.
The show falls very flat in its second half, ending up just feeling like a boring "cop has to discover his past to solve the case" drama. I couldn't help put feel like this show should have been a pure action comedy. Because the comedy is without no doubt the best part of the show. The dramatic parts just end up being kinda boring and you just wait for the banter between the two main leads. That being said, I wished Wi Hajoon had been in this more as he was the highlight of the drama for me. The character of "K" is very different compared to his other roles. I love a morally grey and very pathetic main characters, so obviously I like Lee dong wooks character here. I also found the main villain kinda boring (despite being played by an actor I like), I actually found the russian-korean villains to be much more interesting.
To be honest, I was considering not even writing a review for this show, because I just don't have that much to say about it. I can absolutely see the appeal of this show as it is a good drama, I just was a bit bored watching the second half of it. There was too little of the good stuff and too much of the boring stuff. Just left me feeling very "meh".
