This is a Korean show (we watch dubbed because my wife doesn't like subtitles) which is really fricking good. Takes a while to get past the dubbed acting being ridiculous, but the storytelling, characters, and kick arse action are excellent. We've finished season 1 and are 2 episodes into season 2, episode 1 of season 2 is probably the best episode of TV I've seen this year.

Anyone else seen this one? If not, highly recommend!

Care to give us any sort of sliver of a synopsis other than it being Korean, or are we just supposed to trust you?

Think South Korean Reacher (but more intelligent with much more believable plot lines and mysteries). Constant action, great approach to story telling from different perspectives. Don't want to give away too much, first two episodes are far and away the slowest building up the characters and world. It hits the gas on episode 3 and never lets up.

Thanks for recommending this show went in just knowing it was Korean and action. Didn’t watch a single preview. Saw the rotten tomatoes ratings which are through the roof both critics and users. And now I understand why. Luckily avoided that stupid English dub and found the Korean audio and switched to subtitles.

But holy shite what a show! Widows Bay and this show are my probably my favorite two shows of the year. Is it based off a novel? Feel like I saw a reference to it in the shows credits. The attention to detail, character building and overall interweaving of the story lines are top notch and they don’t Mary sue the main chick either. Season 1 was great. Takes a little while to get going but the story line, action, and humor all come together nicely. And make no mistake, this show can be brutal at times.

And then that brings me to Season 2…ELITE television.

So many badass characters and storylines that come together nicely. Highly recommend.

It’s a little Banshee, Tango and Cash, the Raid..all rolled into one. Best recommendation of a show I’ve never heard of on this board in quite some time. Probably since Mr. Inbetween This show needs more love.

Glad you enjoyed it! We finished it so fast and were sad it was over. Widows Bay and it are also our two favorites so far this year, The Agency probably third.

No plans for a season 3, but it hasn't been ruled out yet. Really hope somehow they make another season.
