tvN’s newest bodyguard-action drama The K2 promised us lots of action, and boy did it deliver. Bloody and brutal, the intensity hardly lets up in the opening hour from the first punch to the finishing blow. Just when we get a moment to catch a breath, the acting commands our attention once more.
Each character in this dramaverse has a secret, some found halfway around the world. It’s a complicated web of relationships and messy backstories, and there’s still so much we’ve yet to learn of this world, including the former soldier-for-hire at the center. Looks can be deceiving, but one glare from this mysterious man could kill.
When Go Anna (played by YoonA) was a nine-years-old child, she discovered her mother dead on the floor. After that, she was brought by her stepmother, Choi Yoo Jin (played by Song Yun Ah) to a church in Spain to be a nun. She has attempted to escape over the years yet none was successful. Her mind is fixated on the idea of running away to find her powerful father (which makes me wonder how much she knows about him) and the traumatic memory of discovering her mother dead on the floor.
Go Anna is the illegitimate daughter of a president candidate, Jang Se Joon (played by Jo Sung Ha). Her existence cannot be known to the world by the control of candidate president's wife Choi Yoo Jin, who hires Kim Je Ha (played by Ji Chang Wook) to guard Anna from prying eyes.
Kim Je Ha is former mercenary soldier from the JSS special forces, also known by his code name "K2". After he gets betrayed by his country and lost his lover, he becomes a fugitive and is unfaithful to any organization and country. When he comes back to South Korea, an accident made him entangled in a political family and meet Go Anna. As Je Ha gets to know Anna, the abandoned souls slowly falls in love with each other.
I am so glad that Ji Chang Wook plays as K2, when he's so handsome with excellent acting skill. He was known for his role in Empress Ki. I am also surprised as how he managed to have that hot body only in a few months. I still remember how sloppy he was in Running Man, even they all thought Ji Chang Wook as the doppelganger of Lee Kwang Soo, the giraffe.
Anyway, Song Yun Ah is so beautiful thus there is no wonder that she's the perfect face for being the First Lady. Not only that, I’m intrigued by Yoo Jin, who carries herself with social grace yet can induce fear into nearly anyone with expert precision. My hopes are high for Song Yun Ah challenging her acting range by portraying a layered and calculated character like Yoo Jin. Watching her makeup being wiped away was like watching the façade of her character fade away to reveal her deeper and darker colors, which we see glimpses of in her rocky and tense marriage to Se Joon.
Although Yoona is still a rookie in terms of acting but she's kinda believable here and I would say that her acting is not that bad, though she only has some lines so far, but her expression when she was chased and traumatic memory feels real enough.
So curious as how the story will progress ~ feels like watching another Yong Pal <3
