I remember a few months back when I was trying to find a Kdrama that had action in it without the romance something like Killers Shopping-something came up. I watched the first episode of what I thought left me uninspired so I never went back to finish. A few days ago I find myself doing the same thing: trying to find a Kdrama that had action in it without the romance and sure enough something like Killers Shopping-something came up again. So I clicked on 'A Shop For Killers' thinking that that was the drama I was trying to watch and dropped but realized it wasn't that. I think that's what I was trying to watch in the first place but clicked on the wrong drama. So now that I finally get the right drama right I started watching it. I mainly watched because I liked the male lead from Bad & Crazy. In all of my reviews I tend to cling to Korean actors who have some serious fighting skills so that's why I decided to watch this.

I'm going to solely focus on the last episode because to me, that's the nail in the coffin. The final tie up to everything that happened in the previous episodes. I'm always reviewing the last episode because I like closure. Unfortunately the last episode was the only episode that left me underwhelmed.

****************THIS IS WHERE THE SPOILER COMES IN**************************************

The focus of the entire series is wrapped around the uncle and a rogue military man. Throughout the drama we get to understand what the feud is all about. Understandably so we know why the feud is the way it is which is a relief to me. But here's where I get angry...NOTHING happens to the rogue military man and the bad guy who kept the rogue military in play. What was the point??? The episode is a hour long and what do we get? A LOT of useless dialogue. There's a lot of gun fights and fighting but without that this last episode would've failed its mission terribly. I don't think there will be a season two even though the antagonist isn't dead. It wouldn't make sense because all of the henchmen are dead. I also wasn't shocked about the last few seconds of the episode. It confirmed what I already knew.

Korean dramas always have a tendency to go south at some point. To make a drama more enjoyable I wish they would stop doing that.
