Una tienda para asesinos

Ok! Listen up no more American shows/series/movies/cinema fazes me anymore. Korean film does it. That sweet spot! This show has it... intense action,great character development, emotions and no romance! I love it! I hope many folks are watching it... I get a lot of entertainment out of every single episode! I hope they make a season two! So far I'm chopping at the bit hoping they will make a season 2.

Sooooooo if you're looking for a good action packed quality series! This is it! Look no further! Love the actors, love the martial arts! It truly is Art! Give show a chance hey fyi it bounces around a bit but it's still worth a watch!

Happy viewing.

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.

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!

As this Korean drama opens a sniper is trying to kill Jeong Ji-an, a young woman in a remote house; she finds a rifle under a sofa and fires back. We then, via a series of flashbacks see how she came to be there and why she is being targeted. It turns out that her parents had been killed and she when she was a young girl and she was adopted her uncle, Jeong Jin-man. Officially he runs a business selling tubing but in reality it is a front for an illegal weapons 'supermarket'; following his apparent suicide she has inherited the business... which came as a surprise to her.

I really enjoyed this action packed series. The opening scene immediately grabbed my attention before flashbacks start telling us how the situation occurred. Throughout the series we move between various time periods but is never confusing about when what we are seeing is going on. This means that even though Jeong Jin-man is dead when the series starts he is still a major character. The acting is solid throughout; the main bad guy may be a bit of a pantomime villain but that suits the feel of the series. The final episode wraps things up nicely without shutting down the possibility of another season. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to action fans.
