Acting/Cast: 4.5/10 Eh. They acted okay. I thought So Eun & Kim Bum were cute. They had chemistry. Lee Min Ho & Ku Hye Sun had no chemistry whatsoever. Throughout the whole drama I had to put up with Geum Jandi's annoying character. I don't know if she was supposed to act that way, but DAMN. she was so damn annoying I can't even. The way she talked and acted and dressed. It all bugged me.
Music: 8/10
rewatch value: no. nope. not ever.
Overall value: 7.5/10

Acting/Cast: 7.5/10 ehhhhhh... I don't like any of the cast but they were ok. The choreography sucked lol. Those fake effects totally ruin all the serious mood. This is so lame lol. I prefer the 86 version over this because they didn't look so fake. I don't like the outfits.
Music: 7.5/10 ehhh
Rewatch Value: lol I would not rewatch this...
Overall: 7.5/10 it was ok. if you enjoy the fake modern wuxia effects then give it a try but otherwise go for the 86 version. speaking honestly, this drama failed so bad as an adaptation to the old drama... sorry.

Story- 8/10 This drama started off so good and promising. I was hooked and the story was so good. This drama is a mix between romance, politics and revenge. Although I do have to admit, they didn't blend well together. It felt like there were 3 different settings in the same story. It didn't blend as well as the genres in DOTS blended. Anyways, as the drama started to progress around ep 12 or so I felt like the story was getting repetitive, none of my questions were answered and K2 was just a confusing mess at certain times. I completely agree with one of the reviews in the episode aspect---- after I finished an episode I would only find one thing that was new... the rest of the hour and 15 mins was .... idk... during the episode though I'm hooked and like oh yea!! This is so good but afterwards nothing really happened if I reflected on it lol. Nonetheless it's a pretty good story and well written. Not the strongest part of K2 though. Also, the ending for the villains were not good enough... I was not satisfied. After all that they did that's all they get???????? Korean dramas really need to step up their ending game. I know I say this in every review but oh my goodness I have yet to watch a kdramas w a satisfying ending.
Acting/cast: 10/10 THE REASON I FINISHED K2 is the cast! The cast is quite strong besides Yoona, I expected her to act badly but I was surprised. Her acting as Anna is very good compared to her previous performances---- she has improved a lot and fits the role well. But ofc compared to the excellent actresses she's quite average. Nothing special. I am an sone btw. Anyways, Chang wook was amazing as always. Ok and now *drumroll please* SONG YOON AH. Oh. My. Gosh. She is the best Korean actress I've ever watched! Usually, Korean actresses have a tendency to act in similar ways to each other but she acted in her own way and her portrayal as Choi yoo Jin was excellent. Also, for her age she's STUNNING. She's a beauty and a rare talent. Love her. Sung Won was awesome at acting too. Loved his portrayal. His smirks made me want to kick him off the face of this planet.
Music: 10/10 search up K2 ost on YouTube. Enjoy. You're welcome.
Rewatch: 3/10 I don't rewatch dramas I just finished.
Overall: 9/10 I recommend. Great great great acting!

Story: In the beginning the story was GREAT. It kept me going but then the major plot twist came and I was shocked by how big the plot twist was. However, they did not answer a lot of questions and left huge plot holes.... NOT good! I get that everything was in her mind but what about Xiao Xi? Did she really exist? Did Song Qi have a best friend? What about the police officer she talked with?? And the girl who looked like Xiao Xi? What about the the cousin of the alleged Xiao Xi who gave Song Qi the key because she recognized Song Qi as her best friend? What's going on?! I don't know !!! The ending was nice though since Song Qi ended up with Liu Dong and there was no longer pain for her... Speaking of that, what's up with the white hair?
Acting/Cast: 10/10 anyday. anytime. I have never watch Fan Bing Bing act after Princess Pearl and I have never liked her tbh but WOW. Her acting skills are by far the best from all of the Chinese actresses I have seen! No wonder she is famous! And not to say, she's gotten very beautiful. In 1998, she wasn't very pretty hmm.. anyways, great acting!
Music: creepy af music lolz
Rewatch Value: I don't mess with that psychological stuff.
Overall: I recommend it because I did finish it and did like it A LOT in the beginning. The plot twist was okay to me BUT THEY DIDNT ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS AND LEFT SO MANY PLOT HOLES so yeah.

Story: 10/10 You cannot beat this. 60 episodes it was all worth it. The pace was perfect and just you cannot beat this. I don't have anything negative to say about this... I really truly enjoyed it.
Acting/Cast: After this I searched up the cast and searched for the dramas each of them acted in xD It was so good and the queens, and everyone was attractive lol! They had chemistry and it was so cute and funny. There were super funny moments hahah loved this.
Music: 9/10 I don't remember any of them besides the intro music hmmmm... it was enjoyable
Rewatch Value: 10/10 IF I HAD THE TIME YES.
Overall: 10/10
I watched this 2 years ago and so I don't remember enough to give you a detailed review but here :) I RECOMMEND.

Story: 8.0/10 It was really good EXCEPT sometimes there were I guess not really plot holes but like... idk, sometimes there's this one scene I don't really like. I thought the ending was kind of rushed. There's plenty of romance so yay for romance lovers! If you've watched Angel eyes, this drama has less romance than that, just saying. There's suspense in it too so yeah yay for suspense lovers. Again, I didn't really like the last episode.
Acting/Cast: 9/10 I watched this for Song Hye Kyo and I was not disappointed!! These are experienced actors/actresses so really nice acting. :)
Music: 7.5/10 don't think anything stood out to me.
Rewatch Value: 7/10 ehh... I have a bunch of other dramas to watch
Overall: 8/10 tbh it's more of an 7.8 to me but that's not a # on this scale haha so yeah 8 i guess.
I'm not a romance lover if you're wondering. I like a little of everything mixed in to balance it out.

Story: 8.5/10 It was pretty good. I remembered I enjoyed this drama. It's about I think it was a ring... and the girl was lost from her rich family when she was younger and she always wore this ring on her neck. She lived with this other girl and then when the sister came looking for the younger sister, the girl stole the ring and pretended to be the younger sister. As for the guys, there was romance and I remember some crazy gang scenes in this drama but I don't really remember much so I would recommend that you read a synopsis on this somewhere.
Acting/Cast: 9/10 So Ji Sub is such a good actor. His gang scenes scared me so much LOL. The girls are good actresses too so cast isn't a problem.
Music: 8/10 Don't remember it had any I liked but I didn't hate it so neutral.
Rewatch Value: I rewatched this a ton of times back then lol
Overall: 8.5/10 I recommend. It has a melodrama atmosphere to it. It's a one of a kind drama tbh.

Story: 8.5/10 eh, I hoped for more romance between Eun Gi and I forgot his name.. sorry omg I watched this a long time ago I can't even remember. This drama can be heart breaking at moments like whenever Eun Gi tells him she doesn't need him and I'm just like :'( you also broke my heart LOL. anyways, with that said, I wanted more romance between them. The story started off pretty good, and then the parts after he's outta jail confused me so so much but then later my question was answered so yeah it takes like 5 episodes afterwards for your question to be answered. The ending confused me so much. I didn't like the ending even though they were together.. It was so weird.. I also can't stand the fact that Jae Hee tricked the main guy so many times.
Acting/Cast: 10/10 This had such a good cast. The chemistry was just flawless. You cannot hope for a better cast selection. Joongki just impressive. He rocked his role. Si yeon also was really good and Moon Chae won became one of my favorite female leads.. She's so pretty and her acting is amazing.
Music: 8.5/10 I don't think anything stood out to me o_o did this drama even have music? lol I think I was so into the sad vibe of this.
Rewatch Value: 8.5/10 WERE THERE ANY HAPPY MOMENTS?? besides the ending which was just not even convincing at all -___-
Overall: it was okay... If you watch it, find a cheerful drama afterwards so you're not so overwhelmed in all those sad and upsetting emotions.
Lastly, I recommend this for melodrama (I think it's what this was) lovers but definitely not for romance lovers. And if you hate bad endings, I would probably skip over this drama even though the ending wasn't bad. The ending did not do it for me.
