Fiery Hot Chemistry with Love and Care!

I watched Hyena with a frenzy, I didn't stop and I didn't sleep. My eyes were glued to the screen episode after episode and all I can say is WOW!

I could tell you about the high quality cinematography, or the fantastic soundtrack and the thrilling storyline, but I won't. Instead I'll review the Fiery-Hot and passionate romance between our two main leads.

Jung Geum Ja (Kim Hye Soo) and Yoon Hee Jae (Ju Ji Hoon).
Firstly, these actors know how to act. I have been following Kim Hye Soo and Ju Ji Hoon/Joo Ji Hoon for a while and these two seriously know hot to pull of a role. Throughout the entire drama I was completely convinced by their characters. I felt their complicated feelings for one another. I felt their competitive spirits reaching out to me through the screen.

The director seriously did a good job casting Hye Soo and Ji Hoon because their chemistry is off the charts. From the beginning you could feel how well they fit each other. Just instant electrity. I have never been more convinced by a kdrama couple. An absolute match.

Despite their initial setbacks and especially the harsh actions of Geum Ja, I love how Hee Jae always respects her in the drama.

This drama portrays perfectly how a female lead can be strong, intelligent and fierce and how the male lead respects that. And how they both can be strong and witty and most of all EQUALS!!!!

This is how female characters should be written, this is what feminism looks like!!!! TAKE NOTES HOLLYWOOD!

An equal power dynamic in the relationship, they're constantly in a power battle with each other, yet they still care for one another and they have this perfect synergy.

They didn't need a lot of kissing scenes, romantic music, or cutsie couple shots for you to feel the tension and passion between them. Even when they were at loggerheads with each other it was just so thrilling.

They work well together not only romantically but technically, in the plot, in the story and in the action and law/court scenes.
Honestly if they hadn't had such chemistry this drama wouldn't have been so good. Their thrilling, passionate yet caring relationship is what pulls this whole thing through.

What I like most of all about the power couple in Hyena is that they are a POWER COUPLE!
They kick ass individually but they destroy it together. Honestly I ship them so hard.

What more can I say, bravo. They were fantastic and I hope to see Kim Hye Soo and Ju Ji Hoon together on more projects. Their chemistry was just too hot.
