The K2 (Hangul: 더 케이투; RR: Deo Keitu) is a 2016 South Korean television series starring Ji Chang-wook, Im Yoon-ah and Song Yoon-ah. It premiered on tvN every Friday and Saturday at 20:00 (KST) on September 23, 2016 until November 12, 2016 for 16 episodes.
Kim Je-ha is a former mercenary soldier for the PMC Blackstone. While in Iraq, he gets framed for the murder of his lover Raniya, a civilian. As a result, he runs away and becomes a fugitive. He returns to South Korea and by chance, gets offered to work as a bodyguard by Choi Yoo-jin, the owner of JSS Security Company and wife of the presidential candidate, Jang Se-joon. He accepts the job in exchange for resources that he needs in order to get his revenge on another presidential candidate, Park Kwan-soo, who previously ordered the killing of his lover. In the meantime, Je-ha gets assigned to guard Go An-na, the hidden daughter of Jang Se-joon, whose life is always threatened because of Yoo-jin, her stepmother. An-na, who has been reclused and lonely all her life, starts relying on Je-ha, who shows concern for her and protects her at all costs. They slowly fall in love with each other, which makes Je-ha torn between having to work with his ally, Yoo-jin, in order to get his revenge and protecting his new-found love, An-na, against his own ally.
The drama is written by scriptwriter Jang Hyuk-rin who wrote Yong-pal (2015) and directed by Kwak Jung-hwan of Neighborhood Hero (2016). Being depicted with a bodyguard action theme, the drama utilized various fighting techniques including systema, taekwondo, aikido, and jujutsu for its action scenes. It became the first Korean television drama to introduce the Bullet Time effect. The first script reading was held in August 2016 at the CJ E&M Center in Seoul, South Korea. Filming began in September; some scenes of the drama were filmed in Spain.
