Best Spy Action K-Drama in a while...
Moving, Tempest, Vagabond - the top spies K-Drama just got its newest contender.
If we're talking about spy movies/drama, it's common to have that one legendary person who frightens the entire underworld (John Wick & Kim Doo-shik), then there's those shadowy government individuals who'd do anything to catch them for peace.
Agent Kim exactly built upon that, but how is it successful, where's the fresh and hot story?
Well, when did the last time we had a middle-aged man fighting thugs and spies like cockroaches? And that man has 2 another close middle-aged friend who were just as good as him, who shares the same mud and blood in past lives? Now they're working together to rescue the main character's daughter.
Enter Kim ********, Park Jin Cheol, Seong Hansu.
Mere thugs? punching bags
Government agents? show mercy
Mercenaries? 1v1 fodder
Even for casual K-Drama watchers, the hype of retired spy taking revenge on his daughter is through the roof, the constant extremely high ratings shows that well.
Of course, there are pros and cons of the story, some favor the hero dad action and some favor the grounded realistic plot, all i can say is: this is a manhwa adaptation. I don't even know "Manager Kim" is an adaptation rather than a limited series. Watching as learning that it is one or not, it doesn't disappoint.
Knowing there are a lot more to come, I just can't wait to see the twists that will have us viewers on the edge, we haven't seen the trio really put up to the brink of death on strong enemies.
Agent Kim just got reactivated, so hyped for more seasons to come!!!
