The K2 Episode 8

I wanted something easy.

When I started up this epsidoe I needed something easy and required zero brain power. (That's the only reason I'd chose The K2 over Moon Lovers!) Sadly it delivered, with an extra helping of boredom.

At least the writer went with the whole "be famous to stay alive" thing that was hinted at in the first episode. Because that would be sloppy not to follow through with that plot thread.

However, while watching the montage of Anna and Je Ha's limited time together something besides just boredom struck me. My thought that Ji Chang Wook is probably not wanting to do anymore action dramas because of the script. After all he's putting such amazing effort into those scenes! The whole battle with Madam's evil elite henchman while Anna is going "public" was so awesome. Sadly Ji Chang Wook is putting soooooooo much effort into it and the writer/director are just feeding off it.

I know I shouldn't be so disappointed in the writing. By now I know that this is a very lazy script and heavy on the boring. Sadly it does bother me how popular this is. People are actually claiming that this is the "best drama ever". I know-I know. Still I can't help but shudder at the thought that this drama will upstage some of the better ones from this year. (The fact that sooooo many of the other poorily conceived and suffered through dramas upstage the good ones.)


That said I thought Je Ha tripping all over the roof was cute. Cool that Madam was all like "Anna has the knife" in regards to Je Ha's loyalty. (No one likes to lose their man candy.) Now let's just have Anna crying less. Please! It was a nice touch when she confided that she thought she killed her mother, but everywhere else the water works could have been cut. Let's explore the other emotions with out crying.

(The rooftop scene I was totally waiting for the cute kitten the entire time!)
