Topic: Mr. Kim

https://next-episode.net/mr-kim

https://static.next-episode.net/tv-shows-images/huge/mr-kim.jpg

An ordinary family man who, one day, reveals his identity as a special agent to find his missing daughter Min-ji, risking everything to save her.

(AKA: Agent Kim Reactivated)

First episode was quite good, sort of like a Korean version of Taken as a TV show,

Re: Mr. Kim

First episode was good indeed.

That background info at the end went way too fast though, had to pause and replay a couple of times smile
I do hope (and assume) they will get into it some more in later episodes.

That was quite the amount of blood on the ground...
It's either Taken, if she is still alive, or John Wick, is she isn't yikes

Re: Mr. Kim

Episode 2 was awesome, now I am hooked smile

What I didn't get was...

▼Spoiler

so after labor the docs come out and say "but the mother"...he goes in and....she is still alive and then dies slowly?????

What the f**k are the docs doing? How are they not trying everything in their power to keep her alive? Most causes for a mothers death after child birth are treated with immediate medical intervention...not with giving up??

Re: Mr. Kim

Maybe

too much blood loss, organ failure, or something else that is "comfort" only.  Might not have been due to giving birth, but triggered by it?

I watched the first episode yesterday. I'll keep watching, see what develops.

Re: Mr. Kim

I really enjoyed it, and I believe the character development was pretty nice, and the best thing is the lead actor playing that role amazingly. The scenario and everything are so nice that I got hooked, and this is the first time I've gotten hooked on something Korean.

Even if the scenario were not good, the lead actor's performance is beyond; the way he controls his facial muscles and does that under-the-skin acting is superb.

Re: Mr. Kim

Ep7 was interesting.

Some great fight scenes, although,

I expected the head security guy to be beaten up by Mr Kim.

Re: Mr. Kim

Great show so far.

Yes, EP7 was good and imho could've made a great season finale.
Having watched EP8 just now and knowing 2 more episodes are left, I am worried that this will be a one season show.

A lot of K-Dramas (that I have seen) are like that, even though some are setup for a second season.
It also takes a long time for the second season to come our.

A Shop for Killers is getting a second season two years after the first one.

Moving is planned for a second season, over 3 years after the first season.

Nine Puzzles ended with a cliffhanger for a second season.

How long are we going to have to wait?

The one thing where they shouldn't take notes from Hollywood smile

Re: Mr. Kim

Finished the season, conclusion was a bit disappointing but other than that - great show 8/10.
Thankfully we got a set-up for a possible Season 2 as well smile

▼Spoiler

They seriously didn't finish the guy off? After all he had done? Meh... he is a rich influential guy, even if his company + reputation is ruined, there is still a chance he can come back from all this.

Kim Ji-min... lol

They got new identities and moved...but still close enough for the uncles to visit so easily and them hang-out on regular basis?

Re: Mr. Kim

I have one episode to go. I love this. Suspension of disbelief required often. Kopiko on hand. I *SO* want BlondeSnot to die or at least get the shiznit kicked out of her, but they seemed to have ignored her and how she started all this.

Season 2 is in serious talks, but no confirmation yet.

American kids learn the mnemonic HOMES for the Great Lakes. By Executive Order it's now SHAME.
Bravo.
