Review of K

Prior to watching this, some of my friends said this is either a god tier show or their favorite, so I was eager to head into K while taking into consideration that I've been looking into it for a considerable amount of time too. The reviews that came in for this one are debatable but it just boils down to personal taste & as for myself I'm neutral about my stance on that & the series. What probably gets K the most praise is the artstyle, which i'm very fond of. I'm not going to note anything original about it anyway, so I might just leaveit at that. I just love the way everything looks really.

Given that I love soundtrack music, K made some nice points here too. There aren't that many songs that play throughout the series but for how few of them there are, I'd say a nice selection has been made for a 13-episode series like this one. It fits K's ambiance really well & from a personal perspective it's something I'd listen to casually.

Being conflicted about how the plot developed, the character cast with the addition of the fact that I've not watched or reviewed a single series for a while, I've come to the conclusion that plot & character departments are the show's biggest selling points, but not very good ones, hence why I've given K a 6 overall. To sum it up, you'll enter the Kverse not knowing what is going on at first but as the series goes on a fair bit of light will be shed on what the series was leading you onto since the beginning, which is a fair surprise but the rest of it is either misleading, messy, or both. As for the characters, nothing that has never been done before. Too big of a cast to be equally supported in only 13 episodes but I don't necessarily hate it.

If I had to boil down my experience with the first K series in one sentence, it'd be something among the lines of "I wasn't impressed, but the series' continuation probably has a redemption arc that I'm interested into with how everything was layed out in 13 episodes."
