Review of K
This was actually really good. I feel like you would enjoy it if you like suspense and intelligent dramas. It definitely had me at the edge of my seat and asking so many questions that all got answered in the end. A good mystery drama. I love it because they don't spoon feed you. So as a watcher I love the fact that my brain was engaged. For me, this was definitely a classic. I loved the multiple plot twists. I read some of the other comments which were like the story was everywhere but the reality is it is a mystery. They don't spoon feedyou the plot. There are multiple flashbacks that help put the pieces of the puzzle together.
The story was amazing. At first, I was like what's going on, it was jam-packed with action. Then a few episodes in, I was like it makes sense and I realised that the scene was set really well. I was sat there like this is very good! The character development was in-depth. We viewed the story through the eyes of the main character... we share his confusion and see the plot unfold through his eyes. You have to be quick-thinking because there are so many characters that we are introduced too in a short time and there is an emotional attachment created. I think this is what adds to the dynamic action aspect.
The clan aspect stood out from others and it really highlighted the importance of compassion and friendship. It even goes as far as to highlight that greed, hatred and bitterness just consume you and leads to your own destruction. It had a very artistic way of portraying it without even putting it into a sentence. I was impressed.
I actually loved the sound and the music. Even though there is a lot of pop culture references, it is timeless in its own way. I loved how it pulled on the element from gang culture, to historical warfare, with a nod to the martial arts. I loved the nod to mental health and that the evil king actually had a split personality. I thought that was portrayed really well.
I felt that I was watching a modern-day, animated, sci-fi version of an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
What I love the most about it was that it was on the level. Down to earth. As much as a SiFi can be.
I loved how the plot developed. It kept me on my toes right to the end.
I really loved the art. Definitely recommend if you like an intelligent dramas/ suspense mysteries and not just looking for something to numb your mind.
It is a tear-jerker. It is very good. I am glad I watched it.
