Korean Drama " The King of Pigs " is a serial killer story with a slow build-up.

The drama is truly dark, not shying away from the gore, which wasn't only there for the shock effect, but to enhance the intensity of the drama. The background story was near horrifying and is being explained slowly, as it helps uncover the current murder case as well.

In addition, the performances were great by everyone in the cast.

And the ending suited the drama perfectly, with the pace of the story fast. The cinematography of the series was pretty impressive too, with the flashbacks well handled.

So, overall, eight out of ten.
