Once it gets going, it's like a fast action ride
Unsure if there is the concept of a Summer K-Drama like Hollywood does with big movie release but AKR fits that. Its a action filled ride. Its got touches of emotion (Father / Daughter), dashes of Comedy from this friends and as noted lot of action, like a mix of Jason Bourne & The Fugitive for a movie comparasion.
Some thoughts on the conclusion and just picking on aspects that would make this show reach even higher levels.
Potential spoilers going forward
the ML (Agent Kim) is definately a broken man, he is humble and reserved and losing your wife to raise your newborn is a life event that would change anyone. But he does his best always for his daughter, even though she is going through typical teenage drama and not happy her Father isn't 'cool' or successful.
When the situation at school crosses the line with the spoiled daughter of a (corrupt) business abd makes his daughter suffer , she is upset her Father doesn't defend her and just allows the CEO & Daughter to belittle them. Then the CEO's Daughter decides to take things further and the Father 'wakes up' when his Daughter goes misssing.
AK pulls in his friends from previous military service to help locate his Daughter and the bulk of part 1 of the show is spent on the search and doing whatever he can to find her. This was the show at its best and ends in a very good fight with the CEO father. All is well ... then part 2 of the show kicks in which I thought was a weaker story line. Its mostly protecting & rescueing the old military training general (who I thought was one of the big villians).
I found the last Episode a mixed bag, some things were wrapped up way too fast and left me wanting more. Overall the majority of the storylines were resolved and this show if it doesn't get Season 2 is all wrapped up with an ending.
Some thoughts & questions
I was hoping for a finale confrontation between the CEO Father's daughter and Agent Kim's daughter, it wraps up the story line, but I don't feel Agent Kim's daughter got her justice, there is nothing on her school sqaud lackeys who should also be punished.
There was never explaination why the head of SMD hated Agent Kim so much, outside mad he was given freedom years ago. He comes around in the last episode. Assume Agent Kim has the SD Card with the missle information but its never shown.
Did the CEO Father die from the knife attack at the end? During the early episodes they showed him as ruthless and tough but he became just a weak nutcase. A finale fight scene would've been good, I thought his MMA cage would've had a different fight scene but it worked.
Sorry not a lot of detail in my review and this show is best viewed as a thrill ride, I'll likely watch again as the flow waiting a week between episodes broke the flow somewhat.
It was hard to grade music for this series as outside the song at the ending every episode there is not much music in this show. Overall all the actors did a great job.
