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.

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.

These comments are based on watching the series in Korean with English subtitles.

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!

I've finished the drama, i've never had this feeling to a drama before. It's so good, make me veryy frustating and the actingggg of all the actor is crazyy. I really need season 2 please please please. Thank you so much for making this drama.

I will never forget this drama, the best drama i've ever watched. Lee dongwook i love you so much. Kim hyejun i love youu. Pasin Minhye Brother Honda i love youuu.

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!
