The story is absolutely brilliant, the way everything was told, portrayed, from the beginning until the end. I absolutely love the story, everhything about the story is perfect. However, as I have said, the beginning was difficult to handle, mostly the first 4 episodes because it was creepy and actually kind of slow at the same time, you could feel the tension, the creepy and mystery vibe deep down. Starting from the episode 4-5, it starts to get more and more dynamic, you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But you also can see that the tunnel is veryyy long and so until you reach the light, it will be long and you'll need strenght, hope and patience. The end is very satisfying from my opinion.
The topic of the drama, religious cult, is so well thought because it is rare to find those type of story in a drama and it I think it is an important topic because what is told in this drama is similar to what truly happens in real life. I also like a lot the political aspect, and law enforcement aspect.
Plus, I love how they have portrayed the manipulation done by the adults who took advantage of the young people which causes huge damages. Honestly and seriously, the majority of the adults in this drama were absolutely disgusting, annoying, and leaves you with anger. In addition, I would like to say thank you to OCN for not adding any cringe romance. (OCN literally never disappoint).
Most importantly, I love how the young people were portrayed as weak (even the rich ones) and they had to mature to be aware of many things and fight against people with more power, more connection, more exeprience with bad intention. Well, it portrays real life so well actually.
The acting is perfect. At first I was skeptical about the main female lead but from the begining until the end she was absolutely fabulous, as well as the two main male leads. I cannot complain here, really.
The music is fine, I especially like the ost by 'The Vane' called 'Illusion'. It fits the drama clearly.
Please watch it, it is a must-see, but be aware it may be complicated to handle some scenes, if you can handle it, and/or if you are brave lol, it is more than worth to watch it.

Fresh, entertaining, and glory !
Three key words I think could describe the King's Avatar : Fresh, Entertaining and Glory!The sory is original, unique and modern. It is also very well written, from the begining to the end. I truly enjoy the idea of a top egamer being forced to leave his company and being/working on his own. I also appreciate the fact it also portrays other aspects of life and values which are not to be forgotten like family (near the end with the grandpa it made me cry so much), friendship, goals, and also what I find interesting the topic of age gap.
The actors and actresses did a very good job. The main actor Yang Yang did a brilliant job ! I truly appreciate his acting in this drama !
The music is also great, honestly the OSTs are superb it attracts me where it want to attract me!
Overall, I highly recommand this drama, at least for its originality (the story), for its acting (mostly for the main actor I promise you will not be disappointed by him), for its values, for its music! I am re-watching it for the second time, I can't get over this, it is super good!

Ji Chang Wook is the only good point
As said in my headline, the only positive thing about "the K2" is the main actor Chi Jang Wook who almost carried the show. Unfortunately, him being good alone is not enough.I dropped at the episode 6, I even forced myself to continue until the episode 6 because I was hopping it would be better but I was wrong.
Let me start with my biggest disappointment : the romance. The romance in the drama was in my opinion the biggest negative point, it was too cringy, embarassing, boring and childish to a point where I just had to stop because it was ridiculous, honestly.
Secondly, the female lead Im Joon Ah was not good enough, I am sorry, in my point of view, her acting skill is lacking, it is not bad but when you play alongside Ji Chang Wook, you should have a decent level because if it is not the case, your poor skill will be seen from far away, sorry.
Thirdly, the story was lowkey lacking as well, I felt there were too many plot and it was kind of like a mess, it almost was good but it was not (the political stuff had potential to be entertaining but it quickly became boring and also because of the romance who ruined it as I previoulsy stated).
Overall, I feel sorry for Ji Chang Wook, man I am sorry for you. You deserved better.
