If you can't handle some drug use and hardcore violence and gore this is NOT the movie for you. If you enjoy epic fight scenes this will be right up your alley. Movies like this never fail to impress me! It might make you cringe a bit but it's worth it. It had an amazing plot with a tragic past. I enjoyed every minute of it and before I realized it, it was over. I would definitely re-watch if I'm feeling hardcore. lol I love that this movie will leave you for yourself to decide if it was Revenge or Justice.Was this review helpful to you?
The Ahjussi Next Door
Pawnshop owner Cha Taesik is dragged into drug and organ trafficking whirlpool when his stripper neighbour and her daughter Jung Soomi is kidnapped by drug trafficking gang. Forced to make a drop-off in exchange for the mother-daughter’s return, it turned into a shootout and he’s hauled in by the police under suspicion of murder. He broke out of police custody to track down Soomi, leaving trails of blood wherever he went.I read that this was Won Bin’s last project before he went totally hiatus. He definitely left in style, cuz this movie is the bombbb! It’s gore and blood all the way as Cha tries to save Soomi, giving his all while leaving the villains dumbfounded to see how formidable this uncle next door is. Despite being an all out action packed piece, Won Bin had his share of emotional moments, when his character lost his wife and unborn baby and when Soomi finally returned to him. Honestly I really think they should make a sequel where Cha finally reunites with Soomi after he served his time. Am thinking it would turn into something like Shop for Killers uncle-niece duo.
It’s a pity the actress who played Soomi died in 2025. She wouldve made a great role out of the adult Soomi if they ever made a sequel. Her talent as a child actress was already astounding, she wouldve bloomed as an adult.

A very few movies have surprised me and surpased my expectations: this is one of them.
The story might not be something 100% good (notice that my 9 ate the story is actually a 9.5, I chouse to give it a 9 just for the fact that it's not 100% new) but the acting of the cast and the way the story envolves you... it's defenetly rewatch material.
I, personally, watched it 3 times already and I have the movie for... what... 4 months? Or is it 3?

THE ONES LIVING FOR TOMORROW GET F**KED BY THE ONES LIVING FOR TODAY
Since this movie has had a lot of reviews obviously, I would write something unconventional.Won Bin, I dunno why he halted his acting career, the man is so talented.
What an outstanding performance!
That child was magnificent, she even won an award for her performance.
Although the plot is conventional, the execution is gripping.
Each and every actor in this movie is phenomenal, leaves an impact, whether it's the gangsters or the protagonist, even the police officer played a great role.
All this can only be possible if the director is legendary.
By far this could've been his dream work.
The movie is well thought and executed, each and every scene is important along with the violence and profanity it showed, but also managed to focus on the human side of nature.
A child brings a lot of emotions especially when you see a cold guy like him in the movie.
Some people hate children, I've come across quite a few but then again they remind me of the essence of why a child is important, why childhood is important and moreover why being a child is important.
Each child is an enigma in itself.
As the movie says, just giving birth isn't parenting.
Children realize the parenting values towards anyone they can get the warmth and feeling from.
~ Special mention to the villains, Kim Hee Won and Kim Sung Oh.
Who knew these guys could play such an ultimate villain, I've only seen them in stupid roles in the dramas.
They were magnificent in the movie.
A scumbag of a villain is always the ones that look weak but can do the most heinous crimes possible.
Kudos to the director for finding such actors and making them execute their talent.
Kindness and Humanity go hand in hand with the dirty heinous part of the world .
The profanity of scenes in this movie is what makes it special, it was ugly indeed but you could see it through.
And believe that this exists but in the same world a love exists too.
Marvellous effort.
And who can forget the bass in Won Bin's voice? Top-Notch dialogue delivery.
Overall, this movie was such a great experience to have.
One of the best ways you could've spent your 2 hrs.
