This drama started off so good, and then right around the middle it was like the writers decided to take a break from giving a more in depth experience to the watchers. Which is sad, because every character in this drama had so much potential and I really wanted more from them. The acting here was amazing and the final episode was really good as well. I wouldn't have minded if they added an episode or two to give us more character development. That being said, this was a really good drama, the plot sucks you in, and you want justice for the kids involved. The acting in here was top notch. I just felt they could have added more to the characters to get you involved in their stories and motives more. If you dislike sudden bittersweet endings, this may not be the drama for you. The ending almost felt like they rushed it. Also, if you are sensitive to child murder images (There are several scenes here which depict or heavily imply mass child murder) you might want to be wary of this as well.
I'm not unhappy that I watched this, but I felt there was some wasted potential along the way. It felt like the writers created a torpedo that had a straight shot to the ending, plowing past important character interaction and development along the way. All in all, not a bad drama to watch, but I probably wouldn't watch again.

The casting and the acting it's self in this drama was top notch. The pacing of this drama is is well done. I can't remember a moment that I found myself feeling like a scene was dragging on to long. I find this to be quite a rare occurrence in dramas and is a large contribution for my recommendation for this drama.
Overall it is a nice action drama that is well paced and fun to watch.

Story: The story behind Kill It seems pretty simple in the beginning and turns more complicated later on and I can guarantee you that in the middle you start thinking "how are they gonna end this, there are only like 3 episodes left" or something like that. I thought they would rush the ending but they actually kept their pace steady and neat. The beginning is interesting, the middle part almost too much for my poor nerves and the end is just amazing. If I had to name any drama with the best ending scene - this one does it.
Acting/Cast: I was really surprised by the cast. I did not think they could do it so well, especially because the characters in general had this tendency to be void of emotion but just in the right moments you could see exactly what they were thinking and feeling and like mentioned above, they pulled out everything for episode 12. All actors, whether main actors or supporting, proved to be amazingly talented at their job.
Music: While I did enjoy the soundtrack in specific scenes, I actually did not like the main OST of the show. It does fit the show, but not my tastes, so I won't say more on it.
Rewatch: Sure, just not this year. This is probably one of those dramas I re-(binge) watch every other year. Those are the best.
Overall: Overall the drama fits together just perfectly. One thing that you'll notice: the number of episodes is just right for telling this story. If they had added more or reduced it, they would have had to change so many things...I think the length fits perfectly, also because normally dramas with this kind of story line have like 20 episodes. It was refreshing to see a shorter one.

Disappointing
I think the issue here was the writing of the characters. I love watching crime dramas, and I thought I would be really into this based on the synopsis, but it unfortunately missed the mark. I've seen Jang Kiyong in other shows and really enjoyed his performance, but his character in this one totally fell flat. You're waiting for something to happen between him and the female lead, waiting for his cold exterior to crack, and you never really get that. His character isn't very likeable, and even though you're rooting for him, you're not really sure why.I think they also tried to do a bit too much weird worldbuilding and almost sci-fi kinda stuff. It felt like it should have been introduced earlier or simplified in order for it to make sense. I feel like there was a lot of potential wasted on this one.

This drama is so underrated
I's not that often I write reviews on a drama but "Kill It" is one of my memorable drama that I have seen. This drama is definitely underrated. The plot is one of the most unique ones in K-drama. I was hooked by the way the knot is slowly unravel and the insightful inner soul of each character was displayed. The moral story of this drama is tactfully interwoven into the plot, making it both a tragic and heart wrenching piece. The key success is the actor, Jang Ki Yong, he gives off such a spectacular performance that are beyond words to explain. I was ugly crying at the end of the episode. This is my opinion alone and I'm not here to argue.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Yes but did you know she has an Olympic record for dart throwing????
This show is so funny like Nana's character takes every opportunity to flex her dart throwing skills while Jang Kiyong just stares at her like '?maam this is a wendys.' But yeah actually this show is not funny at all its extremely depressing and idk I kinda loved how it ended like that guy so deserved it !!! And yeah, is this a good show? No, not really. But wow I had the time of my life watching it I binged it in one day. Sure, the characters aren't really fleshed out and the plot is just.... fine, but idk the action can be fun and it did keep my attention. ALSO SEULGI??? Oh Seulgi.... She was so sweet I adored her dynamic with the male lead they were so sweet <33 She was the best thing about this show. Nana and Jang Kiyong also had a sweet dynamic and I do like a good cat and mouse game. Would def rewatch this its just a fun time but don't expect too much meat out of it it's an OCN drama from 2019. Wait but Nana did eat in this I'm so interested in checking out more of her shows now like how do you go from Orange Caramel to THIS? What range, I love her.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Kill It is very well-paced drama. Only having 12 episodes, the writers did a good job in unraveling the story on each 12 of them. However, I did find the 1st ep. boring, too much setting up for the whole series happened. The 2nd ep picked up the pace, and the drama was good from then. Until the middle, where it gets slightly confusing. I still continued watching it and everything was explained on the next episodes. I kinda knew how it's gonna end since, it has a dark, tragic feel from the start.This is my first time watching a drama without a Romance genre and I really saw chemistry between the male lead lead and female lead. It was nice that they were able to touch a little of romance to it. I understand that the it was not the focus of the drama, and if it is a 16-20 ep drama they might be able to tackle it. Still, they were able to establish the relationship between the two that made their "Last Scene" (spoiler alert) together very effective.
All in all, it was a good drama. I liked the action scenes. I had a City Hunter feel on it. It is not as re-watchable as other good dramas. Still, I recommend people watching it. Not a waste of time. :)

Definitely worth a look but the minuses below spoil the impression. As usual, events happen in the past and present between which there is nothing,
Oh no, Kim Soo Hyun growing up and was trained by the killer of his profession, ok.
But killer not just an murderer, it profession. and what he learned besides shooting skills and possession of a knife? seems like nothing useful.
As a result is a absurd ending and equally death
in principle, like his teacher with Alzheimer (no way without it)
But the storyline is logically completed-all bad guys are dead.
ps sorry for my english

That's it. Now stop reading reviews cuz really even a 10/10 won't describe how this drama sticks out from all the others.

the characters were not "strong" enough, they didn't have that much personality outside their plots.. beside that early dart scene and the fact that nana was strong willed against her male coworkers, they didn't give her enough... depth? same thing with Jang Ki Yong or the other characters, there was always something missing...
and the main plot was so overused that it was not enough to carry this show, the only thing that did was the fact that
Soo Hyun was a hitman...
+ nana proved herself as a competent actor
+ nana's beauty, I did consider her pretty before this drama, but there's something extremely beautiful about someone acting so well, or singing and other jobs, as long as they try hard, you know? ;)
+ Jang Ki Yong was made for this role, his eyes were everything
+ the filming was well done, everything looked pretty and high quality
+ really nice action scenes, nana's fighting scenes were the best ;)
+ ep12, I think that's the only good ep...
- it was reeaaaalllllly draggy, I mean like they only needed 2 to 4 eps max.. that's the problem with 12 eps drama, it's like the production team didn't think the plot's worth 16 eps, but they still want to drag it out...
- I skipped alot, to the point that I didn't even care for the 2 main leads parts, but I still got everything thanks to ep12 ;)
- a drama that focuses more on the old villains talking is always a horrible, I don't even know what they are talking about for that long.....
- I feel like the start and the characters relationships were rushed because they were worried 12 eps won't be enough for character growth... so that means bad time management?
- horrible weak repetitive plot. no mystery and not much thriller (I'd have given the story a 1 if it weren't for Soo Hyun's "job")

If only the plot was better...
I had dropped it halfway when the drama was first released. I just recently picked it up and binged the whole thing and, honestly speaking, I don't regret dropping it in the first place.For new actors, their acting was good and they played their roles well. I especially like the OST, they fits the theme so well. But those are the only good points of this drama.
Up until episode 5, everything was great but then the plot just developed in a strange direction that I could not wrap my head around it. New names kept popping up unnecessarily and various scenarios laid out in front me that I almost lost track of the main problem. AND!!!! They tried to end everything that had happened in the last 11 episodes in the last half of episode 12?!?!?!?! A lot of plot holes and loose ends that my mind just went "???????"
Give it a try but don't keep your hopes up.
