Génial !

Ce k-drama fait parti des premiers que j’ai visionné. C’est dans ce drama que j’ai découvert Ji Chang Wook, et de tout ce que j’ai vu ensuite, je trouve vraiment que c’est la meilleure prestation dans le domaine de l’action. Voici pourquoi je l’ai tant aimé :

Tout d’abord, en ce qui concerne, l’action, on est bien servi ; on ne s’ennuie jamais. De plus, on peut voir comment se passent les plans et magouilles des politiciens, les crasses qu’ils peuvent se faire entre eux, et je dois dire que c’est assez complet en terme d’informations à assimiler. Et le déroulement des évènements pour arriver à la vengeance est vraiment passionnant. Quant à la romance, elle se passe tout doucement, c’est émouvant et adorable. Biensûr, Anna est une jeune fille naïve et est assez craintive, mais c’est la façon dont Je Ha va l’approcher qui est belle.

J’ai beaucoup pleuré en voyant se drama, je suis peut-être trop fleur bleue, mais ça m’a vraiment émue, et ça m’a époustouflée. Les scènes de combat sont incroyables, l’alchimie entre les acteurs est superbe, d’ailleurs, tous les acteurs jouent bien, on ne s’ennuie pas, les musiques sont sublîmes, bref, pour moi, ce k-drama est top ! Et lorsqu’on voit comment ça a été filmé, c’est encore plus épatant !

I thought the plot for this drama was great. I loved Ji Chang Wook and Song Yoon Ah's acting and characters, they were superb. The thing that ruined this drama for me was Im Yoon Ah's acting and character. Her character was bland, I didn't care for her, and Yoon Ah's acting was boring (and bad...). The romance between Kim Je Ha (Ji Chang Wook) and Ko An Na (Im Yoon Ah) was a let down. If anything, I wish the show had romance between Kim Je Ha (Ji Chang Wook) and Choi Yoo Jin (Song Yoon Ah) instead. Now /that/ would have been interesting... And if not that, then no romance at all...

Okay, so what the hell is his real name?!?!!!! Like let’s be so for real. JUST TELL US ALREADY. The cut off is killing me. I bet it’s cuz they couldn’t come up with a name cool enough to satisfy our curiosity.

The story was intriguing. The plot was there. The acting was absolutely phenomenal, but I had high doubts about Anna’s role. They made her a useless female lead. Her role was purely for plot and less personality. She was important for her relationships and being Jeha’s motivation.

The romance. What can I say. Everyone who said he had more chemistry with the Yu Jin was correct. I think the writers realized that after the first few eps so they rushed to give Anna more screen time. Like, all of a sudden, he’s watching her unable to cook ramen and he’s in love…. HELLO ?!?!

Him and Yu Jin had shocking chemistry. The held at gunpoint, the car crash, even when she was shot. He looked more worried about her than he ever did with Anna. With Anna, it’s like he’s annoyed. He’s like, AGAIN ?!?! This bitch cannot stay out of trouble for ONE second.

Choi Yu Jin was written BEAUTIFULLY. I could never bring myself to hate her. She really did care for Jeha and Anna. All this time, she felt guilty for not helping Anna's mom, so she's playing the bad guy. I did indeed cry when she died. They also tried to salvage the dad by making him die along with her. It was like a last aftempt for redemption. if only the secretary died too, but alas.

The ending scene of Jeha and Anna was the most chemistry they had in the entire series… I was like, where did this come from? Don’t get me wrong, their romance story was still cute, but it was definitely questionable.

Overall, watched for Ji Chang Wook. Did not disappoint. Mans is glorious. I heard the bath scene stirred up some controversy, and it’s definitely stirred up something in my heart. His actions scenes are to die for, and his romance <3

Best Action Politics

Though i loved this series very much , but even if not I would still recommend it to watch for some hot action sequences by JCW.
For the first time I would say that apart from JCW , i fell for the female villain !! She was jus exemplary ! They have depicted some heart wrenching politics and the actors playing them are just indispensable , and cant be replaced ! For a moment i thought that it would have been great if the ML fell for the main villain , coz he was just too good for FL. The only thing i dint like was the FL character , like everybody else . I agree that she was weak , but the character is still acceptable , from the point where she is coming from !

I have already rewatched it for 3 times . Just go for it !

Choi Yoon Jin's captivating performance

THINGS I LIKE
(+) Great action scenes
(+) Amazing acting performance by Song Yoon Ah
(+) Tense political action
(+) Deceptive storytelling
(+) Choi Yoon Jin

THING I DIDN'T LIKE
(-) Romance between leads felt unnecessary
(-) Final arc got a bit ridiculous
(-) Anna is underdeveloped

REVIEW
I was surprised to see many have highlighted disappointment towards the show. This is an action series starring Ji Chang Wook so if you enjoy fight scenes and political battles, the K2 is going to be enjoyable nonetheless. There are tons of intense moments and the fight scenes all take place in different settings. I also thoroughly enjoyed the deceptive elements of the political tension that surrounds the plot. However, the biggest treasure box from this series was CHOI YOON JIN, with her Oscar-award winning performance. Seriously, she is the best villain/anti-hero I have ever seen. Her character is just so power-hungry and spiteful, yet at the same time, charismatic and vulnerable. I started this show for Ji Chang Wook and Im Yoon Ah, but was won over by Song Yoon Ah's amazing character towards the end. I literally became a fan overnight and will definitely be checking more of her in the future. Her character is also the most important character in the show as well. Onto the negatives, yes, the final arc does get a bit ridiculous but I personally can overlook that because the plot was still enjoyable. The only thing that I didn't care much for was Anna. Unsure if it was the acting or writing, but her character just felt flat throughout the entire series. She was supposed to be an important character but she's the only one that never got any development. She's constantly running around or being naive and manipulated by others and was a huge nuisance to all the other characters. Her romance with the lead also didn't feel needed to be in the show and just felt forced.

only for action

●FIRST IMPRESSION
This drama is a retelling of the snow-white in the modern world because we have got a sci-fi mirror, an evil stepmother representing a witch, bodyguards representing the 7dwarfs, Kim Je Ha aka K2 represents the huntsman, and Anna as snow white.

●PLOT VIEW
Started pretty great but falls apart in the second half. Because the tension is raised high so much I can't accept that its slow storytelling later only to discover no twists. Also, this series is titled THE K2, the story should have followed up with Kim Je Ha more than his employer's family. Rather it has a clean, satisfying ending but still, I expected a more complex story, because it had the potential. There is a stepmother and stepdaughter with an uncaring father but it is just not used properly. Rather Choi Sung Woon and park Kwan Soo had a good villain arc but it didn’t work well.
Also, there is oozing chemistry between Kim Je Ha and Choi Yoo Jin, feeling so effortlessly intense but left untold.
Well, each episode is full of the action sequence, which is choreographed perfectly that I couldn’t help but rewind and watch.

●ACTING/CAST
Im Yoo Na as Anna has a little less screen time. She is just a romantic interest of K2. she is an Idol so the makers tried to keep her Angel image. She acted well but the script didn’t help her connect with the audience, Neither she could show up the pains of the past, nor become an Angel truly.
Ji Chang Wook is cast to do action and he portrays that part like a pro. and brought plenty of intensity and emotion to those scenes. When given the chance, he draws us into his story with his portrayal of Je Ha’s pain and struggles.
Song Yoon Ah as Choi Yoo Jin, an amazing vamp. She is a vulnerable power hungry woman portrayed perfectly. her complexity is powerful.

●MUSIC
The most awesome BGM I had ever heard. Not the OSTs but instrumental and theme music is vibing me like magic. The wolf song is awesome and even added it to my playlist.

●REWATCH
Not really a rewatch drama but action sequences are surely a treat that can't be ignored.

●APPRECIATION
I would give a bow to action directors. They choreographed and edited it so smoothly that my words won't be enough to praise them.
●CRITICISM
there were a lot of aspects which could have been done better. the Political game and business snatching of the Choi family.
Kim je Ha past exploration rather than being just told in words.

●FAV SCENE
The beach scene where Kim Je Ha and Anna play catch me if you can. This scene had a relaxing feel with uplifting music and great visuals.

●RECOMMENDATION
This drama is for those who love the action genre. The political aspect might be a bit boring though.

долго откладывала просмотр. но тут началось по тв и я решила - надо. не пожалела ни на секунду. отличный актерский состав, игра отличная. до последнего момента нужно смотреть чтобы понять все тайны и секреты. получила огромное наслаждение от каждой серии, от мурашек на коже, замирания сердца и холодка в животе. Все прекрасно в этой дораме.

I loved this drama. In terms of the story it was one of these best kdramas I've ever scene. The story was well developed with enough back story so you know whats going on but not so much that it distracts from the story itself. The story allowed you to get to know the characters in a way no other drama for me has in the past. The casting in this drama was amazing. Everyone played their roles perfectly, each line was so precise. The music, for me, was one of the best features of this drama. There was an eeriness but beauty to it which complemented this drama really well. I would definitely watch it again as it was so good to watch.

Watch this drama if you like romance with action, it will not disappoint!

We are all in lockdown in our countries, because of covid-19. So I decided to kill my time by watching k-dramas. At first I started with Healer. I fell in love with Ji Chang Wook, so I decided to watch The K2. You just can’t resist JCW.
At first I was not sure, because I thought that Anna girl will mess everything up, because I thought that her character was not enough good.
I loved this drama because of two people Kim Je Ha and Choi Yoo Jin. Especially Choi Yoo Jin. In first episodes, I was like “ kill her”, I felt bad for Anna, but when Je Ha saved Yoo Jin in car crash. I started to ship them.
I think it was my first time to actually truly like villian. I felt pity for her , so I couldn’t see the bad things that she had done. I wanted her to slowly give up the dream about power and be happy. Yoo Jin was this k-drama, she was like soul of the drama. She was beautiful, sad and tragic character, because of her, I’m happy that I’m not born in family like hers.
Je Ha. I think I’m in love with him. THAT UMBRELLA SCENA WAS SO F*UCING TOUCHING, that I cried. I’m not going to talk about ending, my heart is still broken.Actually I wanted more of Je Ha and Yoo Jin friendship. I shipped them so hard! About JCW, he is master of action scenes and of course his acting skills just like Song Yoon Ah are phenomenal. At first when I saw Je Ha, I couldn’t imagine that he will became cute person because of Anna. The rooftop scene was hilarious. My Je Ha. He is cute, sexy, smart and strong. I very liked this character.
Anna. The were moments where I liked her, but I did not like how her character was written or Yoona just couldn’t bring the Anna that I wanted. I’m not saying that Yoona is ugly or something, but for me she was not Anna. I know that Anna have gone through the hard life, but I think script writers wrote her too weak. I wanted her to be more stronger and smarter and I wanted see more of her story just like Je Ha. That’s one of the things that I did not like about show.
Overall, I LOVED THIS DRAMA SO F*CKING MUCH THAT IT NOW WILL BE ONE OF MY FAVOURITE DRAMAS and it broke my heart. My poor Choi Yoo Jin.
But, there is always “but”. I’m so disappointed that it was not actually Je Ha and Yoo Jin romance and friendship story, Because Anna was too weak and naive for Je Ha. I think Je Ha needed someone who is similar to him and strong just like him, so he don’t have to always protect someone else, but THAT someone else can’t actually save him too when he is in danger, like Yoo Jin. Yeah I know that she was bad and killed people, but a lot of people here were killing each other, so why not happy ending for her?
(SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH, I TRIED MY BEST)

First and foremost, I enjoyed this drama. It started off strong but soon as K2 and An Na relationship kicked off—it suddenly became that type of drama. It does have some very slow parts.

Apparently, An Na is main FL, but she seems more like a second lead damsel in distress character. I don’t feel like she added much depth to the story. I don’t miss her when she’s absent. In fact, the drama atmosphere appears more mature when An Na is not present.

> Choi Yoo Jin & K2 <
Both are phenomenal, especially Choi Yoo. She is probably the most raw and interesting one of all.

I must say – The thought sharing between Madam Choi and k2 … What are they —Soulmate? It’s apparent every time they look at each other you can feel everything that's transmitting through their eyes. Their relationship is twisted, but even so, they understand each other quite well. K2 knows the way she's program. If Madam Choi said she didn't do something—K2 will believe her.

They would have been freaking HOT as a couple. Damn the writers. They could have put them together (clearly, they had more chemistry. Their interaction feels real and raw) K2 affection for Madam Choi could have been her redemption. But no! They had to take the CLASSIC APPROACH. (Sigh!)

Madam Choi is so gorgeous! I dare say more than An Na, who is also good-looking. But Madam Choi (even with age) is just –wow!

I couldn't stand Madam Choi in the beginning. She is ridiculously crazy, but she grew on me. (Hahahaha) This is the first time I love a villain more than someone who is supposed to be our FL

My opinion about The K2
Despite a scenario filled with countless stupidities, I really loved this drama. One of my favorite to watch

NEGATIVE POINTS
It's hard to believe that a script so poorly written was produced. The way things are turned make the drama not natural at all. The basic idea and events that occur throughout the drama are absolutely simple. The screenwriter seems to be a beginner. Stakes are big but basic, and all things that take place in the story seem to have arisen from a simple idea, without the screenwriter having taken time to let them mature. However, this is the most important thing to do when writing a screenplay.

Some scenes are a bit long, and some moments are too explained, giving the impression that the screenwriter took the spectators for fools. It's a beginner's mistake again

The action scenes are for the most part forced, and some almost unjustified. Obviously, the screenwriter has forced himself to make an action drama

Everything that happens in the last 10 minutes is totally ridiculous. And Choi Sung Won (Lee Jung Jin) deserved something grander, given his character
(This role is purely Lee Jung Jin !)

GOOD POINTS
What really made me love this drama is the character of Choi Yoo Jin (Song Yoon Ah). She's an incredible actress, she acts perfectly the kind, sweet and adorable woman as well as the merciless ultra devilish witch. She's the best actress I've seen so far. I totally feel all of her emotions, especially the despair and loneliness she feels. She's a strong person but very frail at the same time. I really understand her character, that's why I've always been on her side, without doubting her until the end. I never really considered her to be the "bad one". What I also really appreciated was her story with Kim Je Ha (Ji Chang Wook). We feel that she's attracted to him although we don't really know what she feels, it's really a shame. I would have liked this side to be more highlighted. I loved this "romance". One of my favorite parts
I didn't find Jo Sung Ha (Jang Se Joon) extraordinary, but I could feel during all the drama that there remained a bit of love between him and Choi Yoo Jin. So I bet they are both amazing.

I liked the romances, but it's a shame that it's too fast. But that's one of the best things for me in this drama. I really loved when Je Ha observed Anna (YoonA) through the cameras !

A Decent Production Heavily Weighed Down by Its Script

This drama has a typical, good production that leads to high quality visuals and music, but unfortunately the show also leans heavily on its script, which is by far its weakest point. Taken together, I thought it was a decidedly average series.

Let's start with the good. This is Ji Chang Wook at everyone's favorite: he plays the suave, caring, handsome action lead that everyone loves him as since his capstone role as the titular character in Healer. The production team was definitely very aware of this fact and there was definitely fan service in the form of shirtless moments and shower scenes. The K2 also highlights what I think is Yoona's greatest strength: since I was a teenage boy, during the time when she first came out in Girls Generation, I've thought that she is one of the prettiest, if not one of the most beautiful girl-next-door-type celebrities. I think the show was also aware of this as they made her character, Anna become a literal runway model, who is always impeccably dressed even when in every day wear.

But unfortunately, visuals and fan service only get us so far. The script is a complete mess -- allies easily turn into enemies and enemies easily turn into allies in the blink of an eye. An epic revenge plot line could be setup as background for a particular character, only for that character to perform a 180 for dubious reasons. The plot is also too convoluted and shows that the showrunners didn't know exactly what they wanted this series to be, so they mixed everything together in an unsatisfying way: sometimes it's a sweet romance. Sometimes it's a thriller. Sometimes it's a Makjang-like revenge story. Sometimes it's an action series. Sometimes, it's trying to be an analogy to Snow White. It doesn't do any of this particularly well, so it just feels jarring and bad. The dialog does not fare much better. I remember one character trying to order another character's death and it went roughly like this: "kill him! And after he's dead, bring me his cell phone!" It's clear that most of the dramatic tension setup is only done to enable action scenes.

Regarding the fight sequences, I thought they were poorly done, due mostly to bad cinematography. A lot of the hand-to-hand brawls look and feel very fake as you see then punching at air at abnormal speeds. I don't know what it is, but I think is very characteristic of action scenes done for Kdramas. If you compare their cohorts, such as beloved Thai action movies, American Hollywood action movies, or even revered Korean movies like Old Boy, you'll find a much higher level of mastery at shooting action sequences. Since the K2 was so heavily focused on action, and in my opinion it was of low quality, this also knocked the show down several pegs in my rating.

I thought the acting was OK, but overshadowed by the poor script. I don't think Im Yoona as an actress is particularly skilled at portraying complex emotions, but at the same time, her character wasn't terribly complex. Anna was a stereotypical sheltered, innocent, and pretty girl. Many praise Song Yoon Ah for her acting, and I can definitely see the skill, but I found her character unlikeable and sometimes inconsistent. At the end of the day, I think the bad script overpowers anything that anyone else involved in the production could have countered.

The OST deserves a special shout out because "Love You" is the most kdrama-y kdrama power ballad I've ever heard. If you have ever seen the Family Guy episode that explores and makes fun of Korean pop culture, then you have seen the part where they call attention to how at the end of many Kdramas, they put on the chorus of some dramatic song. And Love You sounds EXACTLY like a stereotypical song. Don't get me wrong, it's great. It's just so...typical.

I only got through watching the K2 because I really like Yoona and I mostly enjoyed the show Yong Pal, which was penned by the same scriptwriter. But I can't say that this show was anything special. It might help you kill 16 hours of time, but I don't think it's anything to write home about. It is easily skipped in favor of better done action series like Healer or better Makjang/Thriller type stories.
