Shark: Episode 7
Our hero keeps stringing our dogged prosecutor along the path he’s laid out for her, though the reward waiting at the end of her journey is a little more personal to him this time around. I like that he’s not having to shove her toward the truth—he only has to lightly goad her in the... More »

Shark: Episode 6
Revenge, thrills, mystery, forbidden romance, investigative crime-solving—this show literally encompasses every genre but comedy and sageuk, and does so with aplomb. I can’t heap enough praise for the assured directing, which keeps the thrilling moments brimming with intensity and the quieter moments as contemplative as they should be, but it’s as good a time as...

Shark: Episode 5
Up until now, I had been enjoying Shark the way you generally enjoy a good piece of art—with appreciation and a dash of emotional distance. I could name all the things I liked about it and the very few things I wasn’t the biggest fan of, and while each episode had me invested, I couldn’t... More »

Shark: Episode 4
The case grows more complicated by the second, especially with so many secrets and so many interconnecting threads all leading to a truth that becomes more frightening the closer it gets. We’re starting to see the pieces fall into place, especially concerning what Yi-soo might want from Hae-woo, but seeing the big picture doesn’t always... More »

Shark: Episode 3
We get a taste of past and present in an episode that serves up darkness by the truckload with a taste of vengeance for dessert. Even though we’ve barely begun it feels like so many of our characters have already passed various points of no return, and all of it over one man’s greed and... More »

Shark: Episode 2
Wow. Shark really proves its worth this episode, delivering a much darker, much more intense experience that fires on all cylinders and then some. It almost borders on chaotic, since we’re getting so many faces and so many interconnecting stories all at once (worse yet, they all matter), but if the last episode didn’t sell... More »

Shark: Episode 1
Shark, the third installment in what’s being coined as a “revenge trilogy” by writer/director duo Kim Ji-woo and Park Chan-hong (the minds behind Resurrection and The Devil), premiered on KBS this week, taking up the lone premiere mantle against shows well into their respective runs like Gu Family Book, Jang Ok-jung, and… well, pretty much...

More posters for revenge melodrama Shark
KBS’s new Monday-Tuesday drama Shark is gearing up to premiere tomorrow, and it looks like it’s going to be one helluva melodramatic ride. I mean, once you decide that your hero is going to change his face to enact his revenge, there’s no goin’ back from that — a new mug is pretty far up... More »

Revenge drama Shark’s character posters
Aw, does the vengeance mastermind need a hug? A snuggle wasn’t really the concept I was expecting when KBS released the character posters for its revenge thriller Shark, but hey, every wronged-hero-turned-mysterious-avenger needs to cry on somebody’s shoulder, right? The new Monday-Tuesday drama is gearing up to premiere in just over a week, and even... More »
