The modern action thriller classics John Wick and Taken smash together to create something that may be even better in this new Netflix series that’s now officially the most-watched TV show on the streamer. Boasting all the hallmarks of a great action thrill ride, including a mysterious man with a violent past and a missing child that forces him to once again unleash his particular set of skills, the six-episode limited series now holds the #1 spot in Netflix’s most recent top 10.
A Mysterious Man Is Forced Back Into Action When His Daughter Goes Missing
Written by Nam Dae-joong and directed by Lee Seung-young and Lee So-eun, the action thriller series stars So Ji-sub in the titular role of Agent Kim, with Agent Kim Reactivated introducing the latest unstoppable killer set on a path of brutal and bloody revenge. Living as an ordinary office worker and unassuming father while hiding a secret past, Kim Do-hyeon embarks on a dangerous journey to find his missing daughter. Dusting off his retired black ops skills to track her down, he quickly finds himself attracting all the wrong kinds of attention. Let battle and bloodshed commence.
Adding another South Korean action thriller to the smorgasbord already on offer from Netflix, of which the likes of So Ji-sub's own Mercy for None, Bloodhounds, and Teach You a Lesson are just some of the exquisite options available, Agent Kim Reactivated is now dominating the streaming platform after accruing just over nine million views in its third week as it proves to be the perfect action thriller binge-watch for anyone hungry for another cathartic tale of vengeance.
'Agent Kim Reactivated' Unleashes a New One-Man Army
Alongside Agent Kim Reactivated, the Netflix top 10 non-English shows deliver a diverse array of small-screen successes, including Teach You a Lesson: Limited Series, the 22-episode telenovela The Polygamist, science fiction reboot Human Vapor, and the mystery crime thriller I'm Not Afraid, among others.
But it’s Agent Kim who emerges victorious thanks to his penchant for violent vengeance. And the show’s popularity is no surprise considering the pitch-perfect action-oriented plot that promises everything any action fan could want from the latest tale of a mysterious man forced back into the fray. Despite the popularity with audiences on streaming, Agent Kim Reactivated has flown under the radar critically. But the reviews that have emerged heap praise on So Ji-sub's mild-mannered one-man army, as well as the slick hand-to-hand combat on display. All of which is infused with a welcome dry sense of humor.
