Why Should You Watch Kdrama The K2

Honestly speaking, not all of us prefer romance and only romance while settling for a K-Drama. The same goes for me. Personally, I would go for action and thrillers again and again rather than settling for a rom-com (shhh.. Don’t tell anyone but I find them boring). 

So, as a result, my most favorite watch of all time is Korean drama The K2. This drama has each and every element that an action and thriller lover would want to see. But it’s tough to explain in a few words – why you should watch it. So, before the recommendations, let’s find out the: 

Reasons why you should watch Korean Drama The K2

The enigmatic man – Kim Je Ha 

No but seriously, Kim Je Ha is the primary reason to watch Korean drama The K2. He is a genius, be it the talks or the fights, he got the skills. 

A former leader of a special force and now a convict on the run, Ji Chang Wook’s persona perfectly blends with Kim Je Ha and makes him alive. Kim Je Ha is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He beats people up mercilessly but feeds cats his own food. 

A complicated and one-sided love story 

There are not one but two love stories going on at the same time and both of those involve our protagonist Kim Je Ha, aka K2. One of these love-stories is fulfilling, another one is not. But you need to be attentive enough to catch it.   

Let me remind you that Korean drama The K2 doesn’t serve you with the typical love stories. Here love blooms in the most unexpected way. But I will not spoil anything. You can watch Korean drama The K2 yourself to know what I mean. 

Everybody is a villain 

One of the things that I like the most about Korean drama The K2 is that there is no character that’s casted just to fill a gap. Every character in the drama has a specific significance and they have something to do with the storyline. 

And most importantly, everyone is a villain. Be it by choice or by force, each and everyone makes decisions that are morally ambiguous. Even our protagonist Kim Je Ha does morally questionable things at times. And that is what has become the USP of Korean drama The K2. 

Song Yoon Ah does an incredible job as a bone-chilling antagonist, so much so that you are bound to develop a love-hate relationship with her character. 

I promise you, once you start watching it, you will realize why it is so distinct from other Kdramas of similar themes. 

The dark humor 

Korean drama The K2 doesn’t serve only actions and thrills, there is quite a bit of humor. The banter between Kim Je Ha and his colleagues is everything. There are also a few comic characters brigentening up the mood. The dark humor works like a refreshment in the otherwise tense atmosphere of the story. This is something you will be liking for sure. 

The action sequences – Oh My God! 

The action sequences in Korean drama The K2 are to die for. If you are an action lover like me then you will find your heart beating out of your chest each time Kim Je Ha jumps into action. 

Not a typical happy ending 

There is a happy ending but might not be the happy ending you think. They lose a lot in order to gain what they did in the ending. So, it might be a little heartbreaking to watch but Korean drama The K2 will keep you hooked till the very end, that’s for sure. 

Not every drama can offer the thrill and packed action that Korean drama The K2 offered but there are dramas that are almost as good as this one. Hence, when you are done watching Korean drama The K2, you might be hungry for more. 

That is why, I have crafted this list with 5 K-Dramas to watch if you liked Korean drama The K2. Continue reading it!

While You Were Sleeping (2017)

aka

Dangshini Jamdeun Saie

Starring Suzy Bae (Start-Up, Doona!, Vagabond), Lee Jong Suk (Big Mouth, Romance is a Bonus Book) and Jung Hae-in (D.P., Snowdrop) is a very well done K-drama, on par with modern offering (most early KDramas are painful to watch) with a fantasy / thriller drama that dovetails nicely. Of particular note, Kim Won-hae, who spent the entire Strong Girl Do Bong-soon screaming "Do Bong-soon!" finally gets to flex his acting chops here.

A wonderfulky twisted murder mystery involving Suzy Bae's Nam Hong Joo, who has accurate psychic premonitions, who tries to use her abilities to save lives, now must save her own!

With a satisfying, bittersweet conclusion, it will stick with you after you've finished watching it. The 16 episodes never dragged, although the romance part was sometimes a bit too "high school".

9.0/10, A

I haven’t done a major tv watching update since last June. It almost feels overwhelming at this point but I really love writing down my thoughts. So I’ve decided to break it up into two posts. This post will be all of the shows I watched from June through December 2022.

finished: 

The Uncanny Counter - A misfit teen is randomly chosen to join a group of demon hunters. A supernatural, found family, action adventure with heart. 

Age of Youth (Hello My Twenties!) - An off-campus house for female college students as they navigate school, work, love, friendship and potential murder. Interesting characters but the plot is as messy as some of their rooms.

Link: Eat, Kill, Love - A chef develops a mysterious psychic connection with a young woman who enters his life causing him to feel all her turbulent emotions as he searches for his long lost twin sister. Another show that mixes love and murder. I love the main couple and all the food porn as the chef preps to open a new restaurant. Less happy about the murder plotline.

Abyss - I hate watched this for Ahn Hyo Seop. I’m a completionist. lol This is my lowest-rated kdrama so far.

Hotel Del Luna - A woman with a tragic past is magically tied to hotel for ghost on their way to the afterlife until a young man is summoned to fulfill his father’s debt to help her run the hotel and possibly set her free. A gender-swapped Beauty and the Beast retelling with ghosts. 

I’m Not a Robot - A young chaebol with an allergy to humans is interested in financing a humanoid robot but, after a malfunction with the prototype, the scientist in charge recruits his ex-girlfriend to pose as the robot until it’s fixed. Enemies to lovers and star-crossed lovers as their fates align to heal their wounds and let their love blossom. I’ve watched it twice so far.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - An autistic attorney fresh out of school joins her first law firm as she struggles to pursue her career and unexpectedly falls in love. Cute and heartwarming.

Café Minamdang - A former profiler becomes a shaman to investigate his friend’s death and runs into his friend’s sister who is searching for the truth herself. Even Seo In Guk couldn’t save this mess.

Alchemy of Souls - An assassin magically swaps bodies to stay alive and is secretly recruited to train a young mage and unlock his powers. This show is a Top 3 Kdrama for me. I LOVE IT. Fantasy, Romance, Humor, Action, Symbolism. A great ensemble cast but Lee Jae Wook really carries this drama. The ride or die main ship is everything.

While You Were Sleeping - Three people’s fates are tied together as they try to stop the bad premonitions they have from happening. It got a little cumbersome every time a new bad potential thing was revealed but I love the cast: Lee Jong Suk, Bae Suzy, Jung Hae In.

Never Have I Ever (S3) - This show is still firing on all cylinders and I’m here for the ride. Can’t wait for the finale season. 

Pinocchio - A boy who lost his family in a tragedy gets adopted into a family that has a girl his own age who can’t lie. They grow up to be reporters to uncover the truth of everyday events and their simmering feelings for each other. I really enjoyed the found family, mystery and romance here. 

Reacher - A lone wolf stumbles into a small town murder that hits closer to home that he could expect. A fun mystery and action jaunt through the countryside.

Dali and the Cocky Prince - A boisterous uncultured business man with alot of bravado crosses paths with a reserved art gallery director looking for investors. A sweet romance blossoms and the meaning of real family is explored. There was a lot of great comedy and romance but also some gut wrenching drama. 

Little Women - Three sisters get entangled in a web of conspiracy surrounding a secret organization. There were some interesting things here but I was mostly bored.

Flower of Evil - A man who may be a serial killer and his wife who’s investigating the decades old murders as the truth slowly unravels their relationship. Sadly, this wasn’t for me. There were a few things that were interesting but again mostly bored. Also, when we got to the end I had the epiphany that I’ve seen this story before and I have: Fringe Season 3 Episode 2 is basically the whole main plot in one episode. 

The Law Cafe - Two longtime but estranged friends end up using their law degrees to help everyday folks and go up against a big corporation together as they finally allow the sparks between them to ignite. A really cute romance with a few good cases but the overall show is a bit lacking. 

W: Two Worlds - Fiction and reality begin to blend as the daughter of a comic book author is sucked into her father’s popular comic and is thrust into the life of the main character, a handsome adventurous CEO. An interesting premise with excellent chemistry between the leads, but gets repetitive in the second half and stunts the growth of our leads. 

Love Between Fairy and Devil - My first cdrama and already one of my favorite shows ever! It’s literally a fairy tale with amazing bickering enemy to lovers leads, gorgeous costumes, sets and vfx, and a fantastic story with great foreshadowing, parallels and symbolism that pays off. I’m currently on my 5th rewatch. I regret nothing.

Star Trek: Picard (S1 & S2) - While I’m happy to see the og characters back on my screen and get to know a few new ones, I had major but differing issues for both of these seasons of Picard. 

Bad Prosecutor - While I really like Do Kyung Soo and Lee Se Hee, the story was rather flat. Even the action couldn’t save it.

What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim - I now understand the hype for Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young. They are fantastic in their roles of chaebol and his assistant falling in love. I really enjoyed it but there was something I couldn’t put my finger on that held me back from loving it.

Kiss Goblin - I wanted to watch Bae In Hyuk in something while I was waiting for new episodes of Cheer Up. This cute web series was the perfect little show to get my fix.

Do You Like Brahms? - Park Eun Bin and Kim Min Jae star as a pair of introverted classical musicians with their own set of problems that find light in each other to grow in confidence as their relationship progresses. This is a very low-key show but it kept my attention throughout. 

Fanletter, Please - A cute romcom mini-series about a widower, his ailing daughter, and the actress the daughter adores, who comes to visit the hospital where she’s being treated. 

Cheer Up - If Bring It On was slightly more realistic and set in college but upped the spirit stick curse to a “someone will die” slasher movie prophecy. I loved the team spirit and the romance between the plucky yet reluctant new recruit and the practical dreamer Team Captain. There were a few things I wasn’t crazy about but I had a fun time. 

May I Help You - If Lee Junyoung is in it, I will eventually watch it. lol This is about a young woman who gets the power to talk with the dead in the funeral parlor she works in to help them fix something they didn’t accomplish in their life. She keeps crossing path with a young man who works for an errand service company. As they fall in love, past secrets and present heartbreaks unfold putting their relationship to the test. I had a really good time until the last few episodes but it did end well. 

Summer Strike - Another love story for introverts. A depressed city dweller decides to sell all her possessions that don’t fit in her backpack and travel the country. She lands in a small town, where she begins to heal as she’s slowly creates a new family for herself and falls in love with the local reclusive librarian who is a former math wiz, played by Im Siwan. This one was tough at times but very sweet too. Plus a great soundtrack. I had ‘Color’ by Sunnie on repeat.

Love is for Suckers - A variety show producer convinces her longtime friend to be a contestant on the dating show she’s producing right as they start to realize they are in deeply in love with each other. This had so much potential and started off strong but quickly became a mess when the dating show began filming. The romance between chef and the cartoonist kinda ended up stealing the show.
