**This is a repost: Mar 11, 2017**I haven’t watched a lot in the last 9 months so this is partly “new” from last year(s) that’s been lying around half written/watched.
The K2 (Korea)(Korean)

Genre: action, espionage, politics
Year: 2016
Summary:
Kim Je Ha was in Division 040-151 of the South Korean special forces (the best). He was wronged and discharged. So he worked for the PMC Blackstone where he gets betrayed, framed, internationally wanted for mass murder and crime against humanity, for joining ISIL.
Upon returning he falls into the claws of Choi Yoo Jin and dragged into the dark world of politics and corporations. Before long havoc breaks out all over the place…
Critique:
Story wise the show starts a bit delayed and leaves us in the dark for a few episodes. The story turns out rather ordinary (with the same schemes) for making us wait. However, the rest of the show is an explosion of actions on par with James Bond movies (just cheaper and less frequent). The veteran actors are great. The good looking young main actors pale in comparison. Song Yoon Ah as the scary dragon lady Choi Yoo Jin is amazing and dominates. As the queen of the magic mirror, she’s just one among many vile, vicious, and feral beasts of man… Really, I end up watching for the action and her.
Quotes:
“There’s no such thing as a master who doesn’t betray his or her slave.”
