Netflix‘s bi-annual engagement report provided the massive viewership figures we expected from juggernauts like “Adolescence” and “Squid Game,” but a closer look at the numbers shows just how powerful the South Korean franchise is for Netflix, as well as how valuable the streamer’s recent partnership with WWE has proven to be.

Korean thriller dramas have been delivering quality dramas with their engaging narratives, rounded characters, and brilliant cinematography.

Netflix's new gritty crime series with a John Wick-like premise tops the global streaming charts one week after its release. Following one man's desire for revenge after his puppy was fatally harmed, the Keanu Reeves-led film kickstarted a franchise, followed by three more sequels as the conflicts intensified between the titular assassin and the crime world he once swore to serve. Recently, Reeves returned to the world of John Wick in the Ana de Armas-led Ballerina that sees a new assassin embark on a journey of revenge.

While the franchise's TV series The Continental failed to achieve the same level of success as the main feature films, Netflix's streaming library has beenhome to many fabulous crime series, including Ozark, Killing Eve, Peaky Blinders, Better Call Saul, and The Blacklist. Series such as the true-crime-inspired Mindhunter and Narcos, the latter of which chronicles the rise of the cocaine trade in Colombia,...

Netflix’s new action thriller outing is showing no mercy with critics. Ever since Keanu Reeves first demonstrated his affinity for headshots and brutal revenge in the first John Wick, new movies in the genre have been trying to live up to the legacy of Baba Yaga. And it seems that Netflix has finally done just that, if the Rotten Tomatoes rating for the streamer’s new action series is any indication.

Following a former gangster and expert enforcer, the series delivers all the brutal and bloody action that fans of the genre could possibly want as our antihero returns to the fray (and brings his trusty baseball with him) after the mysterious death of his brother. The series is titled Mercy for None, and critics have been heaping praise on the action thriller series, which has now debuted with a rare perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Kate Sánchez of But Why Tho?...

When it was first released in 2014, John Wick was an entirely new type of action movie. While it initially appeared to be a standard but original thriller, it quickly proved to be anything but. With Keanu Reeves showcasing his unique gun-fu fighting style, the franchise drew in enthralled audiences by building on its unique lore and exceptional fight choreography. Across five movies, including the recent spinoff From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, it has earned over $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

While the most recent mainline John Wick movie implied that Wick would not return, John Wick: Chapter 5 has been confirmed and is in active development. Reeves will be working alongside director and creator Chad Stahelski again, as the two add another story to Wick's tragic life. It is coming after two major spinoffs were already released, including Ballerina and the TV miniseries, The Continental. As Chapter 5 remains in development,...

Netflix's new action thriller series, slightly reminiscent of the John Wick franchise, is making its way up the streaming charts.

Per FlixPatrol, as of June 14th, 2025, Netflix's new action thriller series, Mercy for None, has climbed its way to No.10 of the platform's most-streamed programs. While the highly rated Season 3 of Ginny & Georgia still comfortably sits at the No.1 spot, the South Korean series has placed on the chart shortly after its June 6th release, falling just behind Dept. Q and Animal Kingdom.

Based on the webtoon Plaza Wars: Mercy for None by Oh Se-hyung and Kim Geun-Tae, the series stars So Ji-sub as the former gang enforcer Nam Gi-jun. However, not unlike John Wick, Gi-jun is forced back into a life of crime after his brother, Nam Gi-Seok, played by Lee Joon-hyuk, is murdered. The series follows Gi-jun's search for answers as well as revenge. Mercy for None...

Netflix’s Korean crime thriller series, Mercy For None, comprises a solid cast, featuring some of the most well-known acting talents of the Korean showbiz industry. While the narrative treatment of the revenge saga is pretty basic in its approach, it is the unique visual style, brilliant action choreography, and compelling performance by the cast that make the series work so well. Before moving to the cast and character details, the stunt crew’s remarkable efforts should be acknowledged, who not only brought a number of memorable action sequences to life but also maintained the tone of gritty, grounded violence the series was aiming at.

However, Gi-jun was able to escape with his life thanks to Seong-won helping him out, while Geum-son turns against Yeong-do after learning that he murdered his father. With the stage set for an all-out conflict, the finale is as bloody and emotional as fans would have expected. The build-up through six episodes was great, to say the least, and the payoff couldn’t have been better.

With a thriller-meets-noir tone and built on a fan-favorite webtoon, the series has quickly become a hot topic among viewers and critics. This article explores Mercy for None’s (2025) premise, cast, filming, and what makes it stand out.

What begins as a personal mission for revenge quickly unravels into a violent power struggle, pitting Gi-Jun against Seoul’s most feared crime syndicates — the Juwoon and Bongsan groups. As alliances fracture and loyalties shift, Gi-Jun is drawn into a deadly game of deception and survival. Every step forward brings him closer to a harrowing truth: Gi-seok’s death was no accident, but the result of a far-reaching conspiracy more devastating than he ever imagined.

This article contains spoilers.

Mercy For None Episode 1 Recap:

The episode opens in 2010 Seoul, where Gi-Jun tells his brother Gi-seok that Ju-woon will hire him.

Fans Are Calling Out Netflix Over K-Dramas(Photo Credit –Netflix)

K-dramas have always had a wide international audience, but in recent times, the Ott platforms have helped them expand globally. Be it Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, or Netflix, people can now access these K-dramas more efficiently. Among all the Ott platforms, Netflix has taken over many newly made K-dramas.

While many viewers enjoy these series as they are, others who began their K-drama journey long ago realized that the changes in every drama have been affecting its essence. Many viewers have pointed out these changes; scroll ahead to find out.

Subtitles Not Appropriate

One of the major issues has been flawed subtitles in the K-dramas. From botched translations to westernized changes in the translation, many bilingual viewers find it inappropriate. They pointed out what Netflix has been lacking. The subtitles that are given can often strip away the cultural...

A man leaves a world of violence, severing his own Achilles tendon as a permanent declaration of his exit. For eleven years, Nam Gi-jun lives a life of peace. That peace is shattered when his younger brother is murdered, pulling the legendary gangster back into the grim, neon-soaked underworld of rival gangs he fought to escape.

His return is not a negotiation; it is a reckoning. Gi-jun’s quiet retirement is over, and his quest for answers sets him on a violent collision course with the city’s most powerful and dangerous figures. The promise he made to himself is now secondary to the promise of retribution for his brother.

The Stoic Juggernaut

So Ji-sub’s performance as Nam Gi-jun is a study in physical expression. He is a man of few words, whose profound sadness and simmering rage are communicated through the weight of his posture and the brutal efficiency of his actions.

Mercy For None becomes more and more intriguing as the narrative comes closer to its ending. Previously, Yeong-do, the cop who has been in the underworld circuit since Chairman Oh’s time, was revealed to be the mastermind behind Seung-won’s death all those years ago, which resulted in the Beomyeongdong gang fracturing into two groups. At present, Yeong-do is secretly trying to take down the current leadership of both groups, and Ju-woon’s son, Prosecutor Geum-son, is assisting him. Their schemes result in Bongsan’s collapse, and upon learning about the secret ploy, Ju-woon kills Bong-san, dismantling his entire group in order to protect his son. Ju-woon reveals Yeong-do’s machinations to Gi-jun, who is revealed to have survived his accident. While Gi-jun decides to go after Yeong-do, Ju-woon has to recognize enemies at the home front as things get tense with Geum-son’s involvement in the entire affair.

Mercy For None has a complicated plot that doesn’t always make sense if you’re not paying attention. But really, it’s all about the gore and violence. However, there’s so much of it it’s hard to remember who died and how. So here we’re hoping to list down all the gory deaths, the important ones, of course, to help you connect the dots that you may be missing. While the show is all about the action and gore, the killing isn’t really mind blowing or anything too hard to handle. It’s mostly knives (and other sharp objects) with guns showing up on occasion. The show certainly lives up to its name, and you might find more entries on this list than on the obituary page of your daily newspaper. Despite the bleakness of the show, it’s still wildly entertaining because of the way the action plays out.

So far in Mercy For None, deaths in crime families have been a trigger point that ends up causing a domino effect to change the landscape of the Seoul underworld—and Gi-jun inevitably plays a central role in that. Seung-won’s death broke up Beomyeongdong, Nam Gi-seok’s death saw Gi-jun running a gauntlet through half of the city’s crooks, and now that Jun-mo, heir to the Bongsan group, has died at the hands of Gi-jun, things were inevitably going to get a lot worse real soon. As expected, the fifth episode highlights a major shift in the state of order, involving gang war, betrayal, shifting alliances, and, most importantly, major revelations regarding Gi-seok’s past actions.

On the other hand, Bong-san comes closer to the truth regarding Gi-seok’s death, but whether that actually amounts to anything remains to be seen.

Korean star So Ji-sub returns with another incredible series after headlining shows like Doctor Lawyer, Phantom, My Secret Terrius, and more. He will star as the lead in Netflix’s upcoming series Mercy for None. The series is a John Wick-esque action thriller, which sees Ji-sub play an ex-criminal who gets back into the underworld after a tragedy.

Early reviews have praised the show for building on the style that was first originated by Keanu Reeves’ John Wick and standing out amidst the countless copycats of the action franchise. So Ji-sub’s performance and the action choreography have been termed as the highlight, with some even comparing it to Oldboy and Halloween.

Gi-jun made it pretty clear in Mercy For None episode 2 that he will not be stopped until he has avenged his brother by killing Jun-mo, even though he is on his own as his group, Ju-woon, is not going to support him.

The third episode sheds light on the past event, and on the other Bong-san tries his best to protect his son by trying to get to the bottom of Gi-seok’s murder mystery.

As it turns out, Bongsan and Juwoon used to be...

Asian gangland sagas have a distinct flavor of their own; the way the majority of these stories balance the rawness of violence with steady build-up, emotional pull, and palpable tension at times feels unmatchable. Adapted from the Korean webcomic Gwangjang, Netflix’s latest Korean crime thriller series, Mercy For None, serves as the perfect example of such narratives—at least that’s what it seems from the first episode of the series. Revolving around a former gangster who is forced out of retirement in the wake of a personal tragedy, the first episode of Mercy for None is thoroughly entertaining despite being conventional in its approach.

Why Did Gi-jun Quit Juwoon?

Everything We Know About Mercy For None K Drama (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Mercy For None is not your average revenge tale. It is grittier and set in a world where mercy simply doesn’t exist. It has it all: twisted alliances, underground politics, and a storm of betrayals coming your way, served with a cold dish of revenge.

Based on the popular webtoon Plaza Wars: Mercy For None by O Se-hyung and Kim Gyun-tae, this new drama blends gang warfare with raw emotion and a splash of mystery. The script is penned by Yoo Ki-seong, and with So Ji-sub making his grand comeback in the lead, expectations are sky-high.

What’s The Plot Of Mercy For None?

Mercy For None, a city ruled by two powerful forces: the Lee Ju-woon organisation and the Koo Bong-san family. They’ve carved up the territory and keep it on a tight leash. Rules are made and broken,...

Netflix’s Mercy For None is an action-thriller that isn’t mysterious or shocking, really, in terms of what it presents to us in terms of plot. But this is not to say that the gore won’t shock you, depending on how much you can take. The show follows Gi-Jun, a man desperate to find the person who ordered his brother’s death. But this is not all; he believes that if he doesn’t put an end to the whole ordeal of this gang warfare, he won’t be satisfied. Mercy For None gives us a bleak ending, where nobody comes out truly victorious, because when it comes to revenge, everybody is on the losing end. The series’ plot is a complicated loop of mysteries. For the most part, we’re introduced to people only because they’re going to end up dead at some point in the near future.

The ending of Mercy For None is quite mellow in comparison to the rest of the show, but if you expected there to be any survivors, you’ll be heavily disappointed. This is a revenge show in which the protagonist does not care about surviving. He only cares about getting the guys who killed his little brother. Additionally, he’s a man with literally nothing left to lose. The only person he ever cared about was his brother, and with him gone, he’s got no inhibitions. In Mercy For None, there are two main gangs, Juwoon and Bongsan, named after the founding members of both gangs. They each have sons who secretly want to take over their dads’ organizations. Well, Jun-Mo, not so secretly. But the events of the drama begin when Jun-Mo targets Gi-Seok, Gi-Jun’s brother (because he humiliated him in front of his subordinates). While Gi-Seok does end up dead,...

Netflix’s Friday K-drama of the week is an action-thriller centered around a deranged man ready to kill anyone who comes in his way because he’s been struck by recent tragedy: the murder of his younger brother. Gangly warfare and murderous assassins are all you need to get excited about before watching this show. I know, it sounds super familiar. But somehow Mercy For None manages to deliver an incredibly niche twisty tale, despite having an unexciting and cookie-cutter plot we’ve seen a million times before. There’s only so much one can do with revenge, but this show becomes convoluted because it isn’t just the handful of protagonist-esque characters who are betrayed or betray people, it’s almost the entire character list. If they’re a named character, it’s like they’ve got some sort of twist lined up. In truth, this can get a bit annoying,...

Netflix is gearing up to drop Mercy For None, a hard-hitting Korean crime drama that dives deep into the treacherous world of gangsters, betrayal, and redemption. Premiering on June 21, 2025, the series marks a thrilling new entry in Netflix’s expanding roster of K-dramas that tackle morally grey characters and complex family dynamics. With a star-studded cast led by So Ji-Sub, the show promises an unflinching look into the collapse of brotherhood and the rise of vengeance.

Plot Preview:

Mercy For None centers around Jang Jae-kyung (played by So Ji-Sub), a former gangster who has since walked away from his violent past and now works as a customs officer.

Summer is almost fully upon us, and though that might mean more time away from your television most days, there will definitely still be times you’ll just want some quality couch rotting with Netflix. And there’s a lot you’ll be able to watch in June.

With a slew of new original movies and series, plus non-Netflix films and series, there’s a lot to choose from this month. Ahead of “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” releasing later this year, you’ll be able to rewatch the first two films and catch up.

If you fell behind on “Grey’s Anatomy,” you can watch the most recent season too. Or, if you want to check out an older Shondaland series, all seven seasons of “Scandal,” starring Kerry Washington, hit the streamer in June too.

You can check out the full list of new arrivals for the month below.

Netflix is adding just 11 new shows for the first week of June. That may seem like a light schedule, but that's coming on the heels of a massive 30 new titles on the first of the month. It's never advertised itself as the home of the classics. The Criterion Channel, it ain't. But they're taking a small step toward resolving that by adding six of Alfred Hitchcock's classic films to kick off the month.

Okay, to be honest, they're adding five of his classics and a spare. We'll get to those in a bit. You can also catch some modern classics influenced by the Master of Suspense. Don't worry, fam, there's plenty of lighter fare arriving on the first as well. After all, movies about murder, kidnapping, and the end of the world aren't the best for the kiddies.

Netflix has released the trailer for its upcoming K-drama Mercy for None, and it promises a dark and intense revenge story. The series stars So Ji-seob as Ki-jun, a man with nothing to lose who goes after the people responsible for his brother’s death. The show will premiere on June 6.

The trailer reveals that Ki-jun and his brother, Nam Ki-seok (played by Lee Jun-hyuk), were once part of a gang. They had made a deal to leave that life behind—and in return, the gang was supposed to leave them alone. But that deal is broken, and Ki-seok is killed. Now, Ki-jun is ready to take down anyone who stands in his way.

The trailer begins with a funeral scene, showing Ki-jun mourning his brother. He looks broken, lost, and full of pain. As the trailer goes on, viewers see him turn into a one-man army. “Nothing is more...

Nothing is more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose. In the new K-drama series by Netflix, a man is preparing to go full John Wick on the crime underworld of Korea after his brother is brutally killed. Mercy For None is debuting on the streaming platform in just a few days, and today, a trailer was revealed to dig a little deeper into the gritty revenge story. The series is set to premiere on June 6.

The new trailer of Mercy For None indicates that, as the title suggests, Ki-jun (So Ji-seob) will stop at nothing in his quest to discover the real reason why somebody decided to kill his brother, Nam Ki-seok (Lee Jun-hyuk). In the story, both of them were part of a gang for many years before asking to leave. Part of their deal included leaving Ki-jun's brother alone, and something happened to make mob bosses break that rule.

The world premiere of Ballerina, the upcoming spin-off in the John Wick franchise, took place in London last night, with the film’s cast and creative team gathering at the Cineworld cinema in Leicester Square. Ana de Armas, who leads the film as assassin-in-training Eve Macarro, was joined on the red carpet by co-stars Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Norman Reedus, and Catalina Sandino Moreno, alongside director Len Wiseman and producers Chad Stahelski, Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee.
