Some said the 2nd episode was better than the first but I don't see how. Not that it was bad, it wasn't, but not particularly better either. The action scenes seem to have improved though, at least those on the second half of the episode and I was excited for once! :D
I don't get why people are bashing on Yoona either. Stop the hate, she's doing alright. Not brilliant, but fairly good for such a complex role. I hope she can manage it till the end because it's quite the challenge.
I get it now that this is not our typical highly sponsored k-drama and we have to understand that in order to give it fair judgement. Some scenes are so poorly executed (take warzone for example) but we let it slip... at least I'm trying to. XD Because the plot is good and the antagonist is amazing. Powerful manipulative peach throwing the cards, I love to see that!
I'm still not hooked though. I'm enjoying the K2 but I don't see it as a marterpiece or some super thrilling show in its category. Let's see as it goes... ^-^

You're right, I was ahead of myself saying that. Now that you mention it, he does give the impression he's being chased in Spain but since nothing happened in Korea, I let that pass right through me.
It's very hard for me to ignore the low quality in the scenes because I'm very very very picky when it comes to action. I'm aware it's hard, exhaustive to the all the actors and the choreo is very tricky but since I like it too much, I can't be pleased easily but that's me, I'm aware my levels of demand are way too high not only for this show but for any entertainment product in a world wide range. And yes, the scenes do lack the effect edition usually gives them. The angles are interesting but not really helpful to the final result, alas.
I don't think it will, the story has amazing potential and the acting is amazing! I believe we're safe to enjoy this alright. ^-^

I'm sorry if I sounded harsh, hun. I really didn't mean to.
I'm not comparing or anything. The only thing bothering me is the low quality in action scenes only as I expected more but, as I said, I will lower my expectations if low budget is the cause behind this so I can be fair.
I'll keep watching as well, ofc. I have nothing against the show, so far and JCW is my dream guy. n_n
I'm sorry again if I offended you, I really am. I didn't mean to sound that crispy.

That really happened, then? I thought I was delusional. :<

I could pass the romance. Changwook and Yoona? I don't buy it. If they don't develop a killer chemistry throughout the drama it'll be painful to watch. I'm only curious about the political plot and possible inhancements in the quality of action scenes.

You better be right because, look... there's my hope uprising.

Actually I haven't watched those. I haven't watched american movies in years and there you have a reason. Can't even argue since I don't know what you're talking about.
I roll my eyes at everything that seems excessive in dramas, movies, shows, news, songs - a n y t h i n g ; so you can say I view everything with the "same lenses" alright. Did you just imply I'm being judgemental of K-dramas?
And that's a weird thing to say: You don't think it's weird because America made a standard out of it? That's really odd. I make my own standards, don't you? Be it for American, European, Asian or Alien stuff, they're the same.

And yes, he MAY be exercising (which isn't a given except the assumptions we can take from his gorgeous body) but not training? Exercise may keep you strong but time makes one rusty and agents need ability a lot more than strength. I'm not saying that was super absurd or anything, it's how easy it felt for him that's weird. Some hardship would be appreciated for realistic purposes.

Now... do you have another argument?

thank u hahahahaha

Some people don't know the difference between a comment and a review. *sigh*

lmao add that to the mysteries of the rich and powerful collection

:') *hugs* <3

Which reminds me I have yet to watch Cruel City. Bad Guys have it's moments as well. It's not loaded but the scenes are good and realistic.
It's so refreshing seeing I'm not alone because most people seem beyond satisfied with the action and I'm left wondering if I'm the one with a sight problem... '-'
My fave action movie is still District B13 (French) because damn son... that's what I call action. Parkour is the best thing and everything seems so damn real all the time. I was just there with stars in my eyes through the whole thing.

Will do! Thanks for the rec! <3

I prefer the action in Healer. It seemed a lot more realistic there. Everyone's saying the action is a killer but I disagree. Then again I'm so damn picky about my action so you should see for yourself. XD

I wouldn't say she's vulnerable or pathetic. I was torn wondering if she wasn't behind that attack herself but it's too soon to tell.

I'm with you. Those masks were really something. haha

Best comment on this page, lol.

You're not alone.

Perhaps it's just the whole "superpowerful" agent thing going on that's ticking me off. I mean, c'mon. If he's been off duty for so long he would be out of shape for sure and yet there he stands against an entire top (and armed) team and does his deal without a sweat and many sexy close-ups. lol Is he Jake Wesker or what.
Healer was way more "realistic" and it's pretty damn hard not to compare both although I try. Even City Hunter! I was pretty amazed by the action scenes working around LMH's princess' body figure - delicate yet fatale. lol

I can't help the feeling of "trying too hard/pushing too far" those scenes are giving me and alas they're a huge part on the show so I'm hoping it'll get better from now on. I'm almost certain they will, actually. My guess is that it was an honest mistake once they were going for an intense pilot but it backfired (luckily to the minority of us, it seems) considering they were not yet able to afford quality production costs at the time. That also makes me wonder about their intentions insisting that Korea's *sweetheart* Im Yoona joined the cast. So sad the stars are draining the resourses of an already low-budget project. But now that "The K2" is airing we can hope the ratings (if they don't follow after my expectations going downhill, that is) will help bring the sponsors in.

Then again, as I said previously, I can count on one hand the action shows AND movies that pleased me. XD I'm rarely picky about anything but when I am...

Oh my God, YES, please let LJK in on a present-time action thriller, I... *faints*
