Officially Kmusic

September 28, 2016

The drama starring a elite super soldier and ex secret agent Kim Jae Ha (Ji Chang Wook), who when seeing something he shouldn’t have, is hired by the premier candidate for First Lady Choi Yoo Jin (Song Yoon Ah). The drama starts by introducing leading lady, Go Anna (Yoon Ah) who upon witnessing the untimely death of her mother is sent to a convent in Spain. While in her 20’s she attempts to escape. Bloody and roaming the streets of Spain she meets another bloodied Korean, Kim Jae Ha, who on attempting to rescue her discovers she is running from non other than the Spanish police. He ignores her pleas upon learning this and travels back to Seoul.

Six months later Jae Ha is living peacefully in Seoul as an artist and banner hanger. While hanging a banner late a night he sees an affair about to happen. In contradictory the assemblyman’s wife Cho Yoo Jin, is attempting to bring a more positive light to her husband. She discovers his deceit and attempts to capture Jae Ha but his skills are no match. Viewers learn that he is an ex agent and that Anna is the assemblyman’s daughter.

Overall the drama is action packed and Chang Wook brings a real sexiness to it. It’s politically driven but viewers who don’t know politics can enjoy the action and story without background knowledge. The first episode didn’t give me much of a story until the last 15 minutes but despite that fact it was amazing. I think this drama will soon be a hit and I highly recommend it. It’s a 9/10 for me, the story may lack in the first episode but it makes up for it with the intrigue. The characters have seriously amazing backstories and the acting is absolutely terrific.

Check out ‘The K2‘ every Thursday and Friday!
