LIFT YOUR HEAD, STRAIGHTEN YOUR BACK. YOUR ENEMIES ARE WATCHING.

I started watching this drama solely because of how much I adore 😍😍Ji Chang Wook and I did not need any other reason too to be honest but as I got invested in the story it had so much more to offer. Yes I agree this drama is very much different in its approach, in fact it might at times feel like you are watching an American series given the action and politics that it beholds. But I guess that is Ji Chan g Wook's thing, which pretty much explains his other dramas like Healer and Suspicious partner. If you are going to watch Ji Chang Wook for the first time on screen I’d suggest you to start with healer, he’ll pretty much steal your heart and keep it locked in his safe of hearts forever.

 Also this is no fan page of Ji Chang Wook although I now am having second thoughts 😅😛. On this note let me brief you about this movie like drama.

K2 is the revenge story of a bodyguard who once was a dedicated citizen of the country and served for the same only to be betrayed by the system. Ji Chang Wook code named K2 in order to fulfill his revenge gets associated with a security agency which is pledged to save and is run by the wife of a presidential candidate Choi Yoo Jin. Choi Yoo Jin single handedly runs the security agency in the name of which layers all her money and assets. She works day and night and is the mastermind behind all the structure of the story be it the candidature of her husband, the security agency and the step daughter who she hides away from the entire country Anna.

The story starts on a very interesting note if taken into account the encounter of Choi Yoo Jin and k2, they started off as sworn enemies who just wanted to get rid of each other’s existence itself but rather end up being each other’s best ally. 

It will really give you goosebumps😲😱 when you’ll witness them working together, they’re like the power duo of this show. The amount of trust that Choi Yoo Jin entrusts k2 with will give you the depth of their relationship. 

Unlike typical, their chemistry is nowhere born out of love rather the feeing of apathy they have for each other makes it unique, you know like they say "all the connections no matter how happy, can fade away but not the ones in which people share their pain with each other." Choo Yoo Jin’s character may prima facie seem to be of villain like but there is so much more to it than just hatred and by the end of the show you’ll end up rooting and sympathizing with her a lot more than you’d expect.

As for the lead couple Anna and Kim Je Ha a.k.a., K2 things start off very rough but eventually K2 falls for her innocence and could be seen protecting her from all the evil staged against her. However little, their chemistry is quite heart warming. 

 Initially you would feel very sorry for Anna because of how she lived the major half of her life in hiding, apart from that her character lacks the basic depth. K2’s character when associated with Anna too doesn’t hold much to it rather than being her white night. So, if you are looking for an attractive love story this is not the one.

This drama is strictly for action dwellers, the initial episodes would literally make you jump off your bed with enthusiasm😲😲 and for people who take interest in politics and are sworn followers of the school of relativism. Also Ji Chang Wook army what is stopping you from watching oppa 💜💜 at his best.
