A Shop for Killers

Protagonist's relative's death reveals shocking secret! How will protagonist overcome this sudden shock and challenge?!

Sure, it seems like a familiar story on the surface, but A Shop for Killers goes much deeper, interspersing numerous backstories of our characters who we have no choice but to fall in love with!

The main story is a short one, taking place over the course of a single day. However, such as in life, the events leading up to this day are what matters the most.

The acting is superb, as are the action scenes. I have seen my fair share of Hollywood gun violence, but honestly, the choreography and cinematography in A Shop for Killers has them beat on every level!

A very entertaining series, you will not be disappointed.

Lee Dong-wook's performance in "A Shop for Killers" really stands out for its complexity and depth. His portrayal of a character grappling with moral ambiguities while transitioning from a dark figure to one of ethical grounding demonstrates his exceptional acting range. Dong-wook has this unique ability to captivate the audience, making his character's journey emotionally engaging, even when he's only present in flashbacks. This showcases not just his talent, but also his significant impact on the narrative. His contribution to the series not only deepens the plot but solidifies his status as a versatile actor in the Korean entertainment scene. His performance is a key element that elevates the drama, making it a must-watch for fans and a testament to Dong-wook's impressive acting skills.

Great story. I appreciate the easy transition between present time and flashbacks. The action scenes are well done and fun to watch for the most part. The fight scenes are also fun to watch. The acting is top notch, especially from Lee Dong Wook who always has an amazing presence on screen. Love him! I like that even if this is mostly an action packed show, we are slowly discovering more about the main characters and what motivates them. This show is not for everyone. They're are very violent and somewhat graphic scenes but if you like these kind of shows this is a definite must watch. Love this show!

Damn, does anyone do fight action better than Korean dramatists? Maybe but I sure don't know yet. I'm impressed with the creative action all around. The relationship dynamics between uncle and niece are unique and in many ways very positive preparations for dealing with living in a crazy world where trust must be earned. There's more to survival than relying on basic instincts--making the most of what's available and focusing are right on target IMO. Interesting take on chosen / created families too. For all the violence issues of collateral damage/murder of noncombatants/civilians are raised. And the difference between psychopaths and rational humans who've made certain career choices--yeah, there IS a difference. Another thing to think about is all that firepower--all those weapons, drones and bombs--indeed there's a lot of it in our world right now. Scary. Still a very enjoyable guilty pleasure watching for what interesting action, character twist, idea concept is coming next. Oh that damn couch... love it.

By far the best series of 2024, this show is nothing short of amazing. Compelling story, amazingly edited, with a seamless transition between present-day events and flashbacks that adds depth and clarity. The action scenes are incredibly well-executed and thrilling to watch, with fight sequences that are both intense and entertaining. The acting is top-notch, with Lee Dong Wook delivering a standout performance that commands the screen, Kim Hye-jun is equally remarkable, delivering a performance that never falters. She doesn't let down a single scene, keeping your eyes glued to the screen every time she appears. A great surprise, An identity revealer, An action packed show, A must-watch!
