Some will describe it as a droll series which takes forever to pick up. Others will describe it as an artistic masterpiece that constantly builds suspense.
However, I've noticed that most won't describe it for what it really is: intricate. In fact, I noticed that the story tends to fly over some people because of that intricacy. What starts off as a "whodunit" story takes off as a suspenseful action drama. The twists and turns are pretty nice and even shocking.
K contains a well-written story. In the beginning, it strings you along with random events, seemingly pointless. As things progress, the series even stops the fast-paced storyline to explain any plotholes they might have in the future.
The rest of the series is hit after hit. The story picks up pace at a proper level and the characters start to show their true colors. You even fall in love with a character that wasn't even introduced into the story.
To add to the story, the art is absolutely stunning. It's a spectacle when action hits. At times, you even see the foggy breathe of an exhale and it even looks good. Even if you don't agree with the story being good, the art could be enough to make you a regular viewer.
The OST is just another spectacle. The series features a lot of original songs that are just seamless in sound. They don't come off as wrong and I've even found myself listening to the songs out-of-context plenty of times. To add, the final song of the series will just crush your heart.
The characters start off as mysterious. As the series goes on, you change your view of a lot of them. However, something that people can't deny is the balance of personalities. The teams and the people in them are organized almost perfectly. There's also the inability to call any of the major characters plain or one-dimensional.
Overall, the enjoyment of this series is strictly subjective. For some, it's a beauty to behold. For others, it's a sweet-sounding symphony. For few, like myself, they story is something not seen in a while. It is crafted beautifully. It's not perfect by some standards, but I can't find anything wrong with the flow of the story myself. To add, I couldn't spot any plotholes and if there were any, they weren't strong enough to detract me from watching the series.
It's worth a watch. It's definitely worth a watch.
