Lee dong min is alive and im 100 percent sure

Like think about it. A man that worked for mercenaries for years is a good planner and a good fighter is clever and also owns a weapon shop without anyone knowing his whole life believed that jian was kidnapped and even he did lets just suppose he did do you really think he believed when bae said that they will release jian after he commits suicide. Like come on. I want him alove for sure and another fact is to kill bale he is suppose to be alive i think he is alive and that is going to be the plot twist when everyone thought that he died he actually didn’t and think the only call he made before he died was to pasin no on else so why did minhye said that he asked her to come. And the smirk when he called pasin and the way he only said that "pasin you dint have to pay me back" aahhahahhhhh i really hope he is alive.

Zionist Propaganda spotted

Zionist Propaganda spotted: Counterfeit Palestinian Kuffeyeh in a multitude of colors, worn by mercenaries (even if you do like one of them, Pasin for instance, they still represent violent and unlawful humans. Therefore the use of props that represent Palestinians and their freedom fighters, in this context, implicitly dehumanizes Palestinians and vilifies their decolonization efforts.)
disney can't help themselves from demonizing Palestinians.
BTW disney, fox and paramount .. donate to i5rael

Soo twisted yet oh soo good!!


So i love lee dong wook.. (given)

But this review is not about him.

This series kept me on my tippy toes.. The plot was superbly interesting..

The cast was likeable.
Although i do not envy jian at all..
But the actress who played ji an.. Played her role soo well.. That you want to root for her.

And the supporting cast was soo good as well i mean (minhye, pasin and brother.)
That you want them all to live until the end..

Thank God this show has confirmed season 2.
Because the only thing i did not like about it..

Is that its too short.
There are still a lot of unfinished business.


Love it love it!

Cant wait for season 2 😁

A Highly recommended drama

I'm a big fan of thriller dramas, and this drama, "A shop for killers" is amazing. I am certain that this drama will blow you're mind. 8 episodes and is easy to watch from a nightstand. None of the episodes are boring and the ending is perfect. Waiting for season 2 btw. If you love thriller/action genre, this is the best drama for you.

Absolutely, one of the best drama of year 2024!

"Listen carefully, Jeong Jian" - Jeong Jinman

What a ride! From start to finished, everything is full of suspense, edgy, brutality, beautifully done bloody scenes , well executed fight scenes, delivery of lines and spectacular acting.

Jian is kind of frustrating when she became an adult, compared to her younger self who's more sure of what she wanted to do with her life. I love their uncle/niece chemistry as it was not full of warmth/touchy moments or scenes, but you know that Uncle loves her in his own special way.

Fight scenes were perfectly executed, and you know they gave their 200% efforts in doing it. As what you can see with the end products, as well as if you saw the BTS videos, that they both injured their selves as they're doing their own stunts.

The story is written beautifully, and the scenes were all properly done and well-acted. I wanted season 2 and I am hoping for it as there's a lot of unfinished issues and I wanted more of Jeong Jinman and Jeong Jian scenes, as well as Unnie Minhye, brother and Master Pasin.

Overall, it is worth of time and effort watching it. Uncle Jinman is full of hotness, specially when he was still the captain of the mercenary group.

A Thrilling Departure with an Open-Ended Finale

A Shop for Killers stands out from the usual dramas I watch, offering a thrilling storyline that captivates with its blend of past and present narratives. How the show intertwines characters' histories with their current actions adds depth and intrigue, keeping me engaged. The season finale, however, left me hanging. It didn't have the conclusive feel I expected from the last episode. I eagerly anticipate what's next, waiting for the next season to continue the story.

Great story with great casting and lots of twists...

I really love this drama. From the beginning, the thrill is already felt. You won't have any hard time in understanding the plot because every episode has a flashback of how that part of their life started. The casting is also magnificent. As soon as I saw that Lee Dong Wook will be a main in here, I already decided to watch everything. Kim Hye Joon also made a great portrayal of her role as Jeong Jian. The young Jian also acted very well here. Also, the plot twist in the end where Jinman arrives is a really good ingredient for this one... Chef's kiss for this series..

A shop for killers

First of all I really love Lee Dong Wook and his acting so there was no way to not watch it. Story is really interesting and acting is perfect. Chemistry between actors is really good. I don't feel like there was a need for more episodes although I hope that there would be second season,there are some unanswered questions, but even if there's ending was well made.
In my opinion one of the best kdrama's from 2024.

Highly recommended drama for action and thriller lovers.

Truly a MUST WATCH series!!!

I recommend it whole heartedly, it is THAT GOOD! The plot, the acting, the characters, relationships, the story execution, everything was so phenomenal! I swear a lot of people must be missing out on this great series as I see just a rating of 8.1. Guys just go for it you will fall in love with it in the process, and this series really deserves all the love.


And, how can I forget Lee Dong-wook! He is superb in his role. His and the niece's bond is also too lovely.

I must mention this, that I really appreciated the fact that they included a whole episode to show the back-story of Jinman, at that point you will realize that he is definitely the main character, even though the niece has more screen space than him.

Overall, awesome series! This is my first time leaving a review, that's because I really want this series to get the much deserve attention.

Hope they bring in a season 2, I need it desperately lol.

"“Whatever makes you scared, keep your eyes open and face it.”

There are so many Quotes which i love a lot in this drama. SPOILER ALERT!!!! I love the cinematography as well as stunts etc. I love LDW in this series, he is so LIT , it makes you wonder what he is eating to maintain his body during his 40's. I love LDW as uncle and he has so much scope in this series. Even his niece also acted very well with him. The small girl as his niece should definitely win the award for her acting in 1st few episodes. It so hard to pull for young child artists like her. I love her uncle(Jeong Jinman) who setup the mall and his house designs are on top level, he knows that Bale will attack him and his niece. In this series, they promote the "Girl's power" i love his niece and min-hye too , min-hye and her action sequences are LIT in this series and i also watched the BTS of it too. Bale is totally psychopath and why did Jeong Jinman forgave him? and if he had stopped him at that time itself nobody will have died now, he saved him from it, instead he goes and kills all his family members except Jeong Jinman. The question is that "WHEN WILL BE SEASON 2 BE AIRED? I want to see Jeong Jinman and niece killing bale in it. I am so excited to see our trio who helped jian when her uncle is not present with them. I was wondering did her uncle went to on hide due to his injuries which her niece's fake friend did it or he did because to test her niece is capable of protecting his shopping mall.

Below mediocre

Weak drama. The violence is abundant, probably unlike any other K-drama you've watched before, but fails to deliver any satisfaction, of any kind. Eventually the show becomes severely boring with some unexpected twists meant to keep it alive. The current rating is probably artificial and doesn't match reality, in my opinion.

Feel free to watch and drop this at any moment.
