King of Pigs (2022)

Blood Boiling

The name alone caught me off guard so I dove into this series thinking I knew what I was getting into... I was wrong! This series is INCREDIBLY detailed about everything from the bullying to the blood. It's so sad that this is real situations (not based on TS I hope) but everyday people are bullied for every tiny thing you can imagine and even though I felt negative feelings through most of this series I couldn't stop watching, The acting was on point with all the right emotions for this disaster stricken festival. Not for the faint heart and obviously not family friendly.
I was never a victim but as a parent this just makes me even more fearful to continue to have my child in school. I highly recommend just for the thrill of what you think will happen. The ending had me in my feels legit
Enjoy...

one of the best k-drama´s

This is genuinely one of the best k drama´s i have watched, i reality a lot to the victim. Because i have been a victim of bullying myself and i would love to take revenge on them, but i would never take that type of revenge like the victim did obviously cause i would have been in jail lol. The acting is amazing the plots are mindblowing. This is a drama, you just want more of and just want to continue watching, It is also realistic you can really see and understand the victims point of view. It also didnt have a disappointing ending. Please watch it, it is totally worth it and im so glad i found out. You should definitely watch it too. It does contain a lot of blood so don´t watch it if you are senstive to that. This is a k drama i will never forget fr.

Will You Be a Dog or a Pig?

An intense, gut wrenching look at what trauma does to a person and how some wounds are just too severe to ever heal. All the childhood flashback scenes are harrowing, every scene is thick with dread and suffering and the violence has such an unsettling visceral power. As dark as this gets the brutality never feels forced or like gratuitous misery porn, we get a good sense of the how and why the bullies are allowed to run rampant. I also appreciated this show's nuanced take on justice and revenge. Kim Dong Wook and Kim Sung Gyu both gave excellent performances playing compelling characters, though I was frustrated by Dong Wook's lack of screen time. He absolutely killed it (pun intended?) in every single scene so I wanted more time with him. I think the show should have spent more time following him and less time following the cops investigating him.

balas dendam sempurna tapi...

buat akting udah pasti keren semua dari mulai kim dongwook si peran utama sampai choi hyunjin si pahlawan kecil. alur ceritanya oke, untuk 12 episode semuanya memuaskan.

pembullyannya digambarin jahat banget bahkan sampai ke guru gurunya luar biasa ngeselin sampai aku mikir apa di dunia nyata juga ada yang kayak gitu? kejam banget dunia ya bahkan ke anak smp sekalipun. padahal kyungmin cuma pengen bisa sekolah dengan tenang, main sama jongsuk setiap hari tanpa diganggu sama geng bully.

emosi kyungmin sangat nyampe sih ke aku dan aku salut sama dia karena dia mau loh buat move on, mau coba berobat demi istri sama ibunya. seandainya pas itu istrinya ga buka album foto kyungmin, seandainya mereka ga ke rumah kyungmin hari itu gimana ya..

kyungmin ngelakuin balas dendam secara perlahan dia kasih makan dulu sampe kenyang si geng bully, baru dia bantai mereka tapi apa hukuman yang kyungmin kasih ke geng bully itu sepadan? menurut aku sih gak, kyungmin masih baik langsung ngebunuh mereka atau cuma bikin mereka ketakutan sampai gila dalam waktu singkat sedangkan rasa sakit kyungmin terus dia rasain seumur hidup.

di sini menurutku orang selain di geng bully yang harusnya tanggung jawab itu jongsuk sih. dulu karena adanya cheol, kyungmin udah mau loh berdamai sama ketakutannya, dia mau nahan diri di sekolah itu demi cheol sama jongsuk. tapi jongsuk nih sinting, cheol curhat mau bertahan hidup demi ibunya malah dia dorong beneran dari atap cuma buat menuhin ego dia, udah gitu dia lepas tangan ngerasa ga bersalah. sedangkan kyungmin? dia ngerasa bersalah seumur hidup dan dihantuin sama cheol.

bahkan sampe ending pun aku kecewa sih karena kejahatan jongsuk ga pernah kepublish, dia tetep dianggep sebagai pahlawan dan kyungmin dianggep sebagai pembunuh berantai padahal pembunuh sebenernya jongsuk (di luar geng bully) dan yang mentalnya terbunuh kyungmin.

greget sama jina, dia nih polisi senior dan udah nemuin bukti jongsuk ngebunuh cheol kenapa ga bisa langsung ditangkep? terlalu bertele-tele, bahkan udah di tempat yang sama pun (pas di sekolah) dia tetep telat nyelamatin jongsuk sama cheol.

Um drama que vai te deixar com um sentimento de...

Um drama que vai te deixar com um sentimento de muita curiosidade a cada ep, quanto mais você assiste, mais curioso você fica para ver o próximo.


Esse drama me surpreendeu muito, eu amo dramas que tratam o assunto de bullying e esse foi muito bom, não só focou na vida adulta, mas também nos mostrou MUITO do que aconteceu na época que eles sofriam bullying, coisa que as vezes em outros dramas do mesmo tema não é mostrado, focam mais na vida adulta. Eu particularmente amava que a cada episódio, bem no comecinho, era mostrado isso (uns minutos deles e a escola/interações daquela epóca e depois a "intro" do drama, amo dramas que usam essa tematica pois é meio que "nostálgico", como se o telespectador houvesse vivido aquilo também. Mas agora ok, saindo do meu senso crítico para falar um pouco mais do drama em si.

No começo, achei que eu iria me confundir um pouco porque o drama começa com um baque que vai surpreender muito o telespectador, mas depois de uns dois episódios, foi como um quebra cabeça se juntando. Há muita tensão e mistérios no decorrer do drama, o melhor deles obviamente foi o plot, que é muito muito imprevisível, e eu amo quando isso acontece, pois me supreendo com certos plots com muita dificuldade, já que alguns são meio simples e fáceis de "prever". O drama é complexo num ótimo nível, mas eu queria ter visto mais do que aconteceu depois daquele final.

Enfim, não vou falar muito pois não quero classificar esse resenha com spoilers, mas assistam esse drama! O escritor dele fez um ótimo trabalho, esse drama é uma ótima definição de 10/10. História nada cansativa, atores ótimos... cada minuto que passei assistindo realmente valeu a pena.

Be patient with it for first 2 episodes...

Mind-blowing drama!
As my headline reads:"Be patient with it for first 2 episodes..." and let me complete, "after that, you won't be able to stop watching it".
The twists will turn your head and so will the plot and it's heart wrenching story.

My heart goes out to such bully victims and frankly this is a kind of drama where the lead was antagonist and still you will sympathize with him instead of his victims.

I don't usually watch serious revenge dramas but this is something that i will strongly recommend.
The acting is superb, be it adults or of the kids... They are amazing!

Just that I feel the ending should have been a bit different given that the last character met with a heroic end.
Not giving in any spoilers I again recommend you'll to watch this so that you'll can recommend this to someone else ;)

To become a monster, or to live like a pig?

The King of Pigs is easily one of the best school violence/ bullying themed dramas I've watched. It is short but detailed and explicit. Definitely not for the faint hearted!

Entered this drama with no expectation but it had me hooked since the beginning. The ominous vibe of it is amazing. The story is extremely well written. The characters are intrinsic and layered. I loved the way they took time to weave the story about the punishment given to the bullies.

The FL was almost unnecessary. I didn't really like the person playing it either. Jong Suk's character became the most pathetic and pitiful person in the show. It was hard to sympathethize with him.

My favourite character undoubtedly was Kyung Min. Such a soft and warm hearted child turned into a revengeful merciless person for himself and his best friends. He had my full support throughout. I loved the way he handled the bullies, they deserved every bit of pain given to them.

Undoubtedly the child actors did the best out of the entire cast. They are all extremely talented.

The ending is what I expected as soon as I figured what was going on but it still didn't fail to give me goosebumps!
The last frame is the most beautiful in the entire show.

In conclusion, I will remember the King of Pigs forever.
