Kill It (2019)

Love it!! such a great drama. I really love the whole perspective of a villain (a hot one at that) and even though he killed he is still warm at heart. The storyline is amazingg I love it a lot. Acting of course great too, there wasn't a lot lotsss character as I expected it to be since it is a heavy drama, but each main and lead characters play a needed role and the cast all did a great job. If I were to say the cons it is probably because there was at times when I feel it was a littleee bit sloww, maybe because I though the scenes weren't needed in this heavy supposedly packed drama. But overall, I love and enjoyed it.

Disappointing

I think the issue here was the writing of the characters. I love watching crime dramas, and I thought I would be really into this based on the synopsis, but it unfortunately missed the mark. I've seen Jang Kiyong in other shows and really enjoyed his performance, but his character in this one totally fell flat. You're waiting for something to happen between him and the female lead, waiting for his cold exterior to crack, and you never really get that. His character isn't very likeable, and even though you're rooting for him, you're not really sure why.

I think they also tried to do a bit too much weird worldbuilding and almost sci-fi kinda stuff. It felt like it should have been introduced earlier or simplified in order for it to make sense. I feel like there was a lot of potential wasted on this one.

there are 2 types of dramas, character driven and plot driven, and this was neither..
the characters were not "strong" enough, they didn't have that much personality outside their plots.. beside that early dart scene and the fact that nana was strong willed against her male coworkers, they didn't give her enough... depth? same thing with Jang Ki Yong or the other characters, there was always something missing...
and the main plot was so overused that it was not enough to carry this show, the only thing that did was the fact that
Soo Hyun was a hitman...

+ nana proved herself as a competent actor
+ nana's beauty, I did consider her pretty before this drama, but there's something extremely beautiful about someone acting so well, or singing and other jobs, as long as they try hard, you know? ;)
+ Jang Ki Yong was made for this role, his eyes were everything
+ the filming was well done, everything looked pretty and high quality
+ really nice action scenes, nana's fighting scenes were the best ;)
+ ep12, I think that's the only good ep...
- it was reeaaaalllllly draggy, I mean like they only needed 2 to 4 eps max.. that's the problem with 12 eps drama, it's like the production team didn't think the plot's worth 16 eps, but they still want to drag it out...
- I skipped alot, to the point that I didn't even care for the 2 main leads parts, but I still got everything thanks to ep12 ;)
- a drama that focuses more on the old villains talking is always a horrible, I don't even know what they are talking about for that long.....
- I feel like the start and the characters relationships were rushed because they were worried 12 eps won't be enough for character growth... so that means bad time management?
- horrible weak repetitive plot. no mystery and not much thriller (I'd have given the story a 1 if it weren't for Soo Hyun's "job")

Wow

All I can say about this show right after it's over is that : WOW.
The series is so strong. A lot of emotion comes with it. He's telling a very tragic story. Not everyone will be able to watch this show in peace. The acting was amazing. You could feel the emotions on the screen. I also really liked the role of Kim Soo Hyun played by Jang Ki Yong. In my opinion, an actor was the perfect choice to play this role. Cold and hard, yet with a lot of warmth and reason. It's not just a killing machine, it's also human behavior. Emotions are suppressed by him, which very well reflects the whole character. However, If I wanted to write about music or set design here, I would have to watch this series again. I was very drawn into the plot itself. Tragic events that take place on the screen are intertwined with the everyday life of the characters. We're going back to their past. Well, it's not a show for Sunday afternoon. Sitting in front of the monitor screen we have to arm ourselves with steel nerves and somehow adjust mentally. I don't get to watch a series like this very often. However, it is worth to get acquainted with it. The events presented in it may make some people realize that there are problems in the world that we never dreamed of and people who sell human life without looking whether it is a child or an adult.
I also liked promotional posters very much. Somebody perfectly rendered the atmosphere of the series and at the same time made a great advertisement.

Kill it is not for comfort. This story isn't for people looking for romance. It is about how a man survived based on how he was raised and how a female is revenging a loved one's death. Nothing in this drama is done by accident. Everything has an explanation and a moral conflict. The character's journey and struggle thought the whole drama is mindblowing. Each of them grow on you and they all have such a big place in the drama as a whole. To be honest I was expecting a little bit of romance between the two main characters, but i'm glad that the series took the course it did. It keeped the main character's true to their personalities and the story line true to its plot. Hands down one of my favorite dramas of all time. (FYI: You might not like the ending)

Great thriller!

First off... OUCH! This is the first Kdrama I have seen that has the protagonist die T.T

This is the first Kdrama I have seen with the least amount of episodes, yet packed with so much action! I truly enjoyed this series because it was a break from other Kdramas I usually see, but it caught my attention. As a result, I could be biased. However, I honestly enjoyed the mix of action scenes, and the case slowly unraveling. It was a good medley of suspense, thriller, action, and mystery.

This is the first Kdrama I have seen where the co-leads do not live happily ever after, so I'm not going to lie, that took me aback. I thought that Kim Soo-Hyun would just go to jail at the very most of be let off or escape at the very least. To see the protagonist and the side kick, Phillip, die was just a shock to me.

I agree with some of the viewers that there were some plot holes I disagreed with such as, how did Do Hyun-Jin know so quickly that Ko Hyeon Woo and Yoon Ji-Hye worked together and simply the client of Kim Soo-Hyun? Also, why was the door to Kim Soo-Hyun lair opened like that?!? Wouldn't he know better to close and lock it at all times? One more thing, if the father did not see Do Hyun-Jin as his daughter, why did he help her "remember" who her favorite ballerina and what current performance the ballerina has? I found that scene confusing.

Unlike most people, I actually did not think all too much about the music. If anything, the music has to be the least memorable part of the whole drama. Usually, I would research the OST or who sang what song during a scene, but that did not happen at all with this drama until the end scene where the two co-leads were walking in a grassy field.

While searching for my next watch I stumbled upon this and liked the fact that the protagonist was a veterinarian (although major professional plot holes!!). I absolutely loved my decision to go ahead with this drama. No drama is without plot holes and so I will not deduct points for that. The storyline was very interesting and the suspense unravelled slowly without making the viewer wait too long or have it guessed already! The pace of the drama is good and when I began I was unsure if I'd be satisfied by just 12 episodes and whether it would leave an impression or not. I was proven wrong and the 12 episodes are just right and its better to end sooner than drag on extra storylines to stretch the drama for 16 episodes. Jang Ki Yong's acting was spot on and he was able to relay a lot even without speaking. I also liked the character of Seul-gi and her scenes with Seo-hyun (Jang Ki's character) were fun and entertaining. If you are looking for a romantic crime thriller this may not be it but for me it was just the right amount of romance that was shown for a thriller drama and everyone should give it a go.
Since its a thriller I don't suppose it has much of a rewatch value !

10/10 easy if it had a bit different ending. I'm a sucker for a happy ending, always.

Binge watched this one over night. I was hooked from the first episode up to the end. I just wish it had a better ending.

Story wise, its really a good crime/mystery drama with just a hint of a budding romance. I like that the writers took time to make each characters feels real or at least a bit relatable. They're complex characters with different facets. For example, the ML adopted father, who's a cold blooded assassin, save ML and took care of him. At his last breath all he wanted for his adopted son is to live a normal life.

I like the cast. I love the onscreen chemistry of the ML and FL. Its just sad that there wasn't enough of their love story.

Histoire sombre, mais belle, tragique et belle... Belle !

Alors, c’est OCN, alors c’est noir, très noir ! et glauque, très glauque ! Il y est question d’enfants qui n’ont même pas de nom, mais des numéros, dont personne ne sait trop ce qu’ils sont devenus. Ce mystère s’éclaircira au fur et à mesure et c’est encore pire que ce qu’on aurait pu supposer…
Donc, âmes sensibles, attention !!
Il faut bien admettre que dès le début la fin s’impose à l’esprit, et on sait qu’elle sera forcément tragique !! Tout maintenant va dépendre de la façon de raconter l’histoire et de nous conduire vers ce dénouement prévisible et redouté…
Eh bien le pari est réussi on se laisse embarquer dans cette histoire très sombre, retenus par des personnages attachants que leur part obscure rend plus fascinants, surtout, naturellement Kim So Hyun, parfaitement interprété par Jang Ki Yong.
Une parenthèse : j’aimerais que cet acteur montre d’autres facettes de son talent, on le consacre un peu trop aux personnages au passé douloureux (come and hug me) ou à la vie marginale et même criminelle (My Mister, ou Kill it !) C’est vrai qu’il a une voix particulière, grave et un peu sourde qui convient très bien à ces rôles, mais dans My Mister il a montré qu’il pouvait vraiment nuancer le personnage ! Cette parenthèse refermée, revenons au drama !
C’est OCN, on reconnaît le style bien particulier des éclairages verdâtres tachés de rouge dans les scènes dramatiques, avec une musique entêtante créant une ambiance bien glauque, mais c’est la patte de cette production. Ici, ça marche plutôt bien ! L’originalité, c’est que le héros, tueur à gage, n’est pas le vrai méchant de l’histoire, mais que par contre il y en a bien un, parfaitement répugnent et haïssable à souhait !
Donc, si tout ça ne vous effraie pas, et si, comme moi, vous aimez la « sombritude »…et Jang Ki Yong allez-y, c’est un très bon drama, mais il faut affronter la fin ! Mais elle ne peut pas être différente !
