This drama had a good hook, it was enticing and made you wanted to watch more but when you get into the middle, that's when it got complicated. I feel like there were so many unnecessary things in the drama that did not get fully explain towards the end. I also feel like this drama had a missed opportunity to make better character development and outcomes. As one reviewer mention, it felt like at times the writing got lazy and just started to add random unnecessary things into the drama to kept it longer. I would have been fine with the drama being 10 or 12 episode.

The main female lead, Kim Seo Hui (played by Lee Yoo Young) could have done better. I'm not criticizing the actress, I love her and am watching this drama primary because of her but her character could have done more. It really bothered me in the beginning when Seo Hui was keeping everything to herself such as the blackmailing messages. It also bother me how she did not suspect that old guy who literally say, "do this or you'll end up like your father". That's a major red flag. There were moments like this throughout the drama that bother me and the characters just ignore it.

The main male lead, Jo Tae Shik (played by Lee Min Ki) was a great character. He displays as a cool-level headed guy that follows his intuition. I've never seen him in other drama, this was my first time seeing him act and I really enjoyed it. He brought many depths into his character. Most of the time he may seem as cold or serious, but he is actually compassionate. One thing I wish is that he would have more interaction with the female lead.

Non-spoiler Summary:
A woman gets blackmail to become an assemblywoman after her dad died in a car accident and her husband got kidnapped and mutilated. She also helps the detective in charge of this case to find her husband but together they found a secret that her family is hiding.

**SPOILER SUMMARY**:
A woman gets blackmail by her husband and friend in order to convince her to become an assemblywoman so she will figure out the truth in her family and company. She helps the detective to find her husband only to discover that her husband sacrifice himself so she will learn the truth.

THE ENDING
It was sad and unexpected. I was disappointed with it because I thought that they could do more. Why did he have to sacrifice himself to do it? Why can't they just get off his finger instead of his hands, feet, and ultimately his heart????? I thought taking out his heart was a bit too far. I'm just disappointed because I just wanted the husband and wife to be together. He didn't have to die for her to learn the truth.

MUSIC
I thought that the song, "Who Really Knows" by Donna relates to this drama a lot. For some reason, whenever this song came on it made me think of Kim Seo Hui and her husband. If you listen to the lyrics, it's almost like her perspective on her husband and the truth.

BEST DRAMA OF 2020??????????

YES
are you stuck at home in quarantine with nothing to watch?
Hyena is a fast-paced drama filled with betrayal, death, and passion. You won't regret it once you start it.

This drama has a very interesting plot filled with twist and turns but the two main lead caught my heart.
I was more interested every time they interact. They fight like kids and pretend to hate each other but their passion for each other cannot be deny. These two main leads has the best chemistry that I've ever witness. It felt so real and raw.

Please do yourself a favor and watch Hyena. It's worth every minute of your time.

When I first watched this drama it was very fast. In the 1st and 2nd ep, Jung-kook (con) had already found a new girl and married her (Mi-young) who she later confessed to be a cop. I feel that the writers lost an GREAT opportunity to show the relationship between Jung-kook and Mi-young. It would had been great to see how they deal with each other in their houses but instead this drama focuses on their work than their close relationship at home. And yes we see their relationship at home in a few later episodes but then the arguments that happened (Mi-young getting mad that Jung-kook running for assembly) did not make much sense since the drama never really show what their life at home was from the start. Or even both of them being together much. So I did not understand her anger. I just wish that the writers provided us more scenes of their relationship because I'm not feeling much of a connection between the two. But I hope in the next episode or so we get to see more of them together and not just at their workplace. Regardless I find this show and the character very interesting. I'm glad to see Si-won back in acting, he's always funny and a great actor. I also like Mi-young's character, she is very bold, strong and confident. It's a good thing that both of the main leads are strong. The character Park Hoo-ja is also very interesting. I loved how the actress played her character and kept a straight face. Very well done! The way she played her character looks so natural and authentic that I hope that the actress isn't like this in real life. So far all the actors in this movie looks very unique and it's refreshing to see that. Another thing that I really appreciate in this drama is the music. It goes so well with it and it's also music that I've not heard in a drama. The music is funny like the drama and also intense like the drama. This whole show for me is absolutely worthwhile. It's very interesting and keeps you thinking about what would happened next. It's very unpredictable. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good laugh.

I watch this drama because of the two main leads but this drama was nothing but disappointment. I usually enjoy Lee Yo-Young's role in whichever character she played, however I did not like her character. Her character, Song So Eun is too polite, she's a nice character...a little too nice which makes her role boring and uninteresting. The male lead plays a more interesting role but I did not enjoy the acting as he was over-exaggerating his reactions.

I don't see much chemistry between the two main leads. The girl would often cry and always putting herself down. I was also very irritated that a lot of people around her tells her that "she's not fit to be a judge". She doesn't fight back but agrees to it. The female lead seems like a "kiss-ass" character to me. The male leads cares for her a lot through his actions but I do not see much chemistry between them. The women is always polite and apologizing while the man tells her not to and talks about something else.

I feel like this drama have a lot of missed opportunities. I could see how this drama could have been better and more interesting. It would have been nice if the male lead doesn't make the female lead do everything for him. It would have been nice to see him reading the laws and complaining about them while the female lead corrects him and teach him. Instead, most of there interaction consists of her going to his desk, meeting after work, and phone calls.

The only thing I find interesting in this drama is the twins brother relationship with their mom.

Maybe I don't like this drama because I'm not a fan girl but I feel that some scenes were way over the top and forced. I'm not feeling much chemistry between the two main leads mainly because the main guy seems to be lacking emotions and the girl is too passionate about her idols. Watching them both interact makes me cringe. I thought that I would like this drama because the summary sounds promising but it disappointed me. I find the girl's passion for her idols to be annoying and unrelatable. I disagree with a lot of her sayings throughout the drama. And the main guy seems to be lacking every emotion except anger. I feel that this is another one of these drama with the mean guy (who is secretly soft) gets tame by a nice girl. I tend to avoid those dramas as they are meaningless to watch. There were a few bits and pieces in the drama that made me laugh but there were nothing interesting enough to led me on. I would not recommend this but maybe to a fan girl/boy.
