INCREDIBLE
This movie was so good. I had my doubts from the beginning but when I watched it I was sat! I couldn't stop watching.
I watched it mostly bc of Yim Si-wan and his acting was fantastic in this movie. When he found out that what happened to his mother he cried so much, thats when I cried too. I felt so bad for him.
The transitions in this movie is also very good made. If you have watched the movie then you will understand what I mean
I can definitely recommend this movie. If you like a movie with fights and blood then this is definitely for you! (I watched it on one touch tv but it's on kisskh too)

Good story, Excellent chemistry
I'm confused with the reviews below 7. Are we watching the same movie?
This movie is really good. For those who like the crime genre, it's engaging and not boring. I've rewatched it more than 20 times. It's that good. You need to pay attention to the actors' microexpressions. Observe the cinematography and the chemistry-everything is perfect.
If you rate it below 7, it might not be your genre. You have to focus on the details. Im Siwan's acting here is truly amazing. Sol Kyung-gu's characterization is also impressive; he consistently delivers a stable and expressive performance. Chungmuro is truly remarkable.
This movie really made me obsessed.

trust and berayal
The main element of trust and betrayal is what I really liked in this movie. It was dark and bloody but really interesting movie. It didn't bore you and kept you intrigued.
Gangster drama masterpiece
This is one of my absolute favorite K-action movies!
I've watched this movie the first time when it came out and rewatched it again now, even with all movies I've come across between and, in my opinion, it's the last decent K-action/thriller movie made so far.
First of all, the actors. Wow! Honestly, Siwan surprised me with how he absolutely nailed this role, Kyung gu is exactly how you'd want the actor for this role to be, and the chemistry between them is top notch.
The movie is not slow pased at all, it's more of a calculated, fermented thing, where every scene and every line has to have a perfect impact. Even better that is switches between past and present to give more depth to characters relationship. This movie is a masterpiece.
