Why Didn’t I Know About Holyland Sooner?

K-Dramas

I’d like to thank the kdrama gods and OCN for creating such a masterpiece. I wanted something to watch and finishing the tons of other dramas I’d started didn’t seem appealing. So I went to Hulu to see what they had. I noticed this drama and remembered that one of my twitter friends recommended it. Since the drama is only 4 episodes long (a la Killer K Girl) I figured I couldn’t go wrong. And OH BOY IT WAS AMAZING!!!! It was just what my inner GI Jane wanted to see.

This drama is about Gang Yoo, a boy who has a bad home life, wanders the streets in search of fights. What starts out as him trying to defend himself turns into something darker as he learns more and gets better. The local gangs he’s been “practicing” on do whatever they can to find a better fighter to defeat him. Sang Ho plays the older wiser ex-boxer with the past that watches Gang Yoo and tries to steer him in the right direction. Things come to a head when the gangs beat up Gang Yoo’s friends and kidnap Sang Ho’s sister in the attempt to bring them down.

Gang Yoo is played by U-Kiss’ Dong Ho and his friend Taesheik is played by fellow U-Kiss memeber Hoon. I don’t know U-Kiss (don’t kill me!!!)  so I didn’t know who they were until after I became addicted to the show and was trying to distract myself from watching the last episode.

This drama (or movie, not sure) had everything I wanted from Fighter without having to shift through back stories and love interests. Half of me is sad that it was only 4 episodes but the other half is happy because if it was the regular length of a kdrama, it might end up being bad and then I’d be pissed. Anyways watch the drama on Hulu or if you don’t get that in your country, they have it on Youtube though you might have to search around a bit for the subs.

If you still need help deciding to watch it, check out the teaser video for it below.
