Title : The K2 / Deo Keitu 

Episodes : 16

Genre : Thriller, Drama

Network : tvN

Cast : Ji Chang Wook, Im Yoona, Song Yoona

Plot :

Kim Jeha is a former soldier and currently on the run. He was hired to become a bodyguard by Choi Yoo Jin, a wife of a presidential candidate, Jang Se Joon. Jeha agreed to become the bodyguard as he had a plan to kill the person who killed his fiancee. He was assigned to guard the secret house. Go Anna is a secret daughter of Jang Se Joon and Uhm Hye Rin, a movie star that committed suicide. She is also a recluse as she had develop a sociophobia during her mother death known to the world when she is a kid.

I know this is an old drama but I only had the chance to watch it recently. And here we go !

SPOILER ALERT

First of all, the camera work are on the top. Especially during the action scenes. The most unforgettable one was the one inside the garage. The camera went 360 degree to capture the moment Jeha kicked his enemy. I was very impressed because it was a rare sight for a drama to do such thing. A big applause.

Second of all, I hate Jang Se Joon. He played all victim but he is actually the most poisonous character. At least in my view. He used an innocent girl, Choi Yoo Jin to help him to become the president of the country. He cheated on her and never once be nice to her. Even though Choi Yoo Jin is as bad but she actually love to have Anna as her own daughter. Again, in my view. 

The plot of this drama is actually very simple and easy to understand. It is all about power and revenge. What makes it complicated was the enemy that came from all sides. Nevertheless, I enjoy the plot so much. The happy ending of the drama were not my actually happy ending as Choi Yoo Jin died. I was actually hope that she and Anna reconcile and start again.

This drama had a good balance of humor, romance, action, sadness and crisis. Everything is very good and I had no complain whatsoever. I definitely enjoyed my time watching every single episode. And to end this, here is good quotes from the drama,

"But this thing called greed, it didn't come with brakes." - Jang Se Joon

"Bullet are not the only thing that can kill a person, you know." - Choi Yoo Jin

So, here is my stop.
