A Shop for Killers

✒ ⛔️ The Strong Don't Bark Nor Do They Howl‼️°8.7° °Outstanding°

Wanna git that adrenaline blazing through your system? Take a number and have a seat. ASFK's 8 eps appear to be in real-time, but for the many flashbacks that clue us in on what led up to “today,” and a brief stop to see the breaking dawn of the following morning. It's all what's happn’in now, and it appears that it's ALL happening now! Bombs, IEDs, pistols, machine guns, robots, drones, mines, poison gas, regular gas (just add match), slashing, kicking, punching, and, yes, biting.

Jian buried her uncle today. The after party is way more than she bargained for. While the beginning is piece-mealed together, from jump, ASFK is never boring. A sniper has targets in his sights. Two of them are just kids! One of the kids is Jung “Jian”. She's played by Kim Hye Joon from Kingdom-8.3 and Inspector Koo-8.4 where she's a tantalizing psycho. She's unrecognizable here. She spends the entire show in the same track suit and her hair is a mess, but she can be super cute. Jian clearly knows how to fight back. She jumps from the top of the refrigerator to the sofa. Under the sofa is a sniper rifle!

ASFK is a 2024 release that is rated 91 on AWiki. It is 1 season consisting of 8 51-minute episodes. As I started episode 6, I was already sad that it was going to end soon. Another season has been confirmed for release in 2026, thankfully. Just relax and watch. Ep1 raises a barrage (here, “barrage” means a garage and several basements worth) of questions that won't be answered immediately.

While the timeline is uncertain as the show flips around from hour to hour, month to month, and year to year, Jian gets word that her uncle and only guardian is dead. Lee Dong Wook (Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938) plays uncle Jung Jinman. I've only seen him in Touch Your Heart-8.2, which I loved. I haven't been able to check him out yet in the legendary Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, because I haven't gotten around to getting that Viki pass. Uncle.did.not.commit.suicide. No matter what the police say, that much Jian /knows/. Strange looking twins show up at his funeral. They look like dangerous men.

Locals are at one of the tables gossiping about the deceased. Did he really just sell commercial hoses online? One man says “I heard he used to head up the WASP agency.” Another one says that he heard Jinman was an anti-North spy for the NIS. The viewer has already had a glimpse of the guns and hyper-vigilance, so none of this is surprising. Jian is flustered: “I lived with him for 10 years. Yet I know nothing about him,” she realizes.

It's obvious that Uncle Jinman was not a simple guy. There's more to him than what we see on the surface, and ASFK will take us several layers beneath the surface. Jian had sensed something was off before, and she's now glimpsing uncle's bank balance, which can't be overlooked: Can someone make that kinda 💰 by merely selling hoses? It doesn't seem so. Hoses aren't in that much demand… are they?

One thing that's in plenty of demand is killin. Not many people out there can't think of 1 person they want dead. All that killing requires equipment and preparation. Uncle's Shop for Killers is a 1-stop operation. Uncle Jinman makes killin easy.

We meet young Jian in ep2. She's portrayed by Ahn Se Bin. I'm keeping an eye on this girl's career. She's fantastic. Starting as one of the orphans in Crash Landing on You-9.1, she nearly stole the show Racket Boys-8.3 when she hangs out with the elderly neighbors and teaches them how to read. It helps them get out of a shady deal. In Link: Eat, Love, Kill-6.7 she has a small but very important part as the ML's sister. The whole show revolves around the fact that her character went missing. Once again, she steals the show in The First Responders-7.8 S2, opposite of Kim Rae Won. She is a mega-talent.

Geum Hae Na (A Man's True Colors, The Boy From Nowhere) portrays So Min Hye… I sorta wanna be her. She's so bad@$$, and she looks bad@$$ while she's doing it. When the bad guys learn she's there, they pause the entire operation to negotiate for more money. She shines brighter with each episode. Seo Hyeon Woo (Uncle Samsik-8.4, Flower of Evil-8.9) plays the sleazy Lee Seong Jo. He's totally vile. Wow, long hair is his best look - by far. He tells all his victims to obtain enlightenment. He, himself, is “en-lightened” before the end. He's not the worst of the bad guys. That would be Bale (Jo Han Sun from Hot Stove League & Midnight Thriller). He's a psychopath serial killer type. The great Park Gwang Jae makes an appearance as the funeral bus driver in eps1&8. He's good in everything, like Moving-8.5, Revenge of Others-8.1, Big Mouth-7.4, Flower of Evil-8.9, Kingdom-8.3, & 100 Days My Prince-5.5. As for screenwriters, one is Ji Ho Jin of Newtopia, and Lee Kwon (Shut Up: Flower Boy Band) is the other screenwriter & the director:

There's an amusing sequence in which they have to vacate the home while it is being redone. Jian asks hopefully: “Where will we be staying?” “Jirisan Mountain.” As soon as she logs in the answer, she takes notice of the camping equipment he's gathered in front of him. Hopes are dashed. The next scene is the two of them alone in the dark and cold. His leg is injured and he's in danger of succumbing to hypothermia. She starts complaining. (Why didn't we just go to a hotel? Etc). Sure, who wouldn't feel that way? But her words, tone, and attitude made things worse. Her uncle says: “When you are in a difficult situation, instead of arguing over right and wrong, it's important to find a way to solve the problem and overcome the situation.” I've been thinking about how the phrase, ‘Timing in life is Everything’, is profoundly true. I've never had a good sense of timing. The time to Monday-morning-QB is after the crisis is over, not in the middle of it. Jian chose to feed her own emotional satisfaction at the expense of her uncle's. That brand of complaining is actually cannibalistic.

After some backstory we get back to the day at hand in ep3 - Jian is in the middle of the longest day of her life. Professional killers keep coming in droves just to wipe her off the map. That house redo? It's bulletproof, it's booby trapped, and there's lots of places to hide. Apparently the house is five times as big underground as it is above the surface. The bad guys keep coming. Uncle clearly made some nasty, very motivated enemies. They may get rid of one wave but then a new wave arrives with more weapons, more power, more men, and more technology. At some point Jian is warned: Bael is coming. He's the guy who killed her parents.

Most episodes have flashbacks so that we continue to examine the atypical way that this girl was raised. In a world of murderers, whom can one rely on? She runs into that problem pretty early on. “It's not about right and wrong, but who's strongest… The week must know their place and Choose Wisely” The biggest problem for Jian, with Unc gone, is knowing whom to trust. There's scenes where two other people in the room are each telling her not to trust the other one. It's a shady world and perhaps no one is trustworthy. In every dilemma, she recalls something her uncle told her that helps her. He's still guiding her way, even when he's not there.

By now, funerals are some kind of trigger for Jian. They always end in disaster and then yield way to a new life. In flashback we see Jian when she was little at her grandmother's funeral. Her uncle takes her home and they have a talk in the dark. It's a very creepy scene. On TV a lion is being eaten by cheetahs. They talk about death and how they won't see Grandma anymore. She says “death sucks”. He agrees but tells her to not fear death. The room is dark, death is all around, his voice is low and sultry but much like a typical movie-demon voice, while trepidatious piano music is playing in the background. “Don't be scared. Whatever makes you scared, keep your eyes open and face it,” uncle tells a tween-aged Jian. While this was going on, her parents were being murdered at the funeral home. Her uncle's going to be her guardian from now on.

When they get to his place (and a lot happens before they managed to actually get there) she trips and drops all of her things. She stays on the ground and looks at him. He's opening the door. He turns, and there's a long pause as he studies her. ‘I'm not your parent. No will I ever be. Therefore, I won't be able to do the things for you that they did.’ He turns back and enters the house. She's on the ground with all her worldly belongings scattered around her.

Everything that happened from the death of her grandmother until she arrived at her uncle's house was too much for a little girl. She develops aphasia (a language disorder that affects the ability to communicate. It can impact speaking, understanding, reading, and writing). Jian stops talking. This leads to bullying at school. There's an amusing sequence where they are cutting between a parent-teacher conference and their home life. The teacher asks uncle if he's helping her with her aphasia? We then watch them live out their lives without speaking a word. When she needed money she put a note on the fridge. Later, money appeared under the magnet. What hurts, though, is that kids are not kind to someone who's different. She's bullied cruelly at school. When the teacher brings that up at the conference, Uncle says he believes she needs to work it out on her own. It isn't long before Jian and her uncle are conversing.

They don't neglect the plot, dialogue, or character development, but primarily, ASFK is an action-packed ride with many thrilling elements. There's intense action in every episode. The dog robot is baaaad and scary! Supersonic sound weapons! Booyah! There's cool action before ep5, but towards the end of the episode it's leveled up even more. Totally super-charged. Ep6 continues ratcheting up the adrenaline. It's extra caffeinated.

The story is told cyclically. It starts in the current day, goes to the past, back to the current day, and then it goes further back in the past. The day of Grandma's funeral bookends episodes 1 & 7. Ep8 is not the end; it begins a new day. Jian's small band of allies is pretty beat up, but unlike most of the assailants, they are alive. Bael's alive, too. He really shouldn't be. It looks like S2 will continue his story and hopefully it will conclude it.

Entertaining and heartwarming

A Shop For Killers is a kdrama I've seen being constantly praised on social media. The plot captured my attention and since Lee Dong Wook was part of it, I decided to give it a try. It's safe to say that I do not regret it one bit!


For a short kdrama (8 episodes), the plot was fleshed out very well. The pacing was perfect, neither too slow nor too fast and it made the series bingeworthy. For the majority of it, the drama had my full attention, I was so curious to see how Jian would manage to survive and my excitement was always high. The structure of the storytelling was also very good. I liked the way it incorporated the flashbacks and the jump between the past and present helped in elucidating some matters that needed more explanation.


One of the strengths of A Shop For Killers was its action scenes. I myself decided to watch the drama because many people shared positive things about the action sequences and since I am big fan of action series, I was sold. And you people were right. The series did not disappoint. The fights were well choreographed and added so much tension. I especially appreciated the sound design and the variety of weapons. Finally we saw something different instead of the typical sword or gun fights. The villains used drones, robots which made the game for Jian's survival even more lethal.


Of course what made me enjoy A Shop For Killers the most was its characters and the way they were written. Apart from the fact that every actor owned their role and transformed into it, the characterisation in general was very good. It was so exciting to see all of these people gathering together in order to either destroy or help Jian and both sides (good and bad) were interesting to look at. I admit that the bad guys had some good moments too, they had some nice comedic moments which I personally did not expect (the gimmick with Seong Jo said "Attain enlightenment" every time someone died had no reason to be as funny as it was).

The secondary characters really shined, each one in their own way. I loved Min Hye, she was so fierce and cool and her fighting style was so fun to look at. Pasin became a favourite of mine, I adored his dynamic with Jian and how he became her master. I was rooting for him to survive throughout the series. And "Brother" was so funny and sweet, with such an emotinal backstory!

But the characters that completely won me over were Jeong Jian and Jeong Jin Man. A niece and an uncle who tried to navigate life after experiencing great tragedies. Both actors did a magnificent job, they really became the people they portrayed and their dynamic felt so natural.

Lee Dong Wook was captivating as Jin Man. Even though Jin Man appeared to be cold and nonchalant, Dong Wook managed to bring up his soft side. The soft looks towards his family (especially Jian) captured his love towards them and made him more humane. Jin Man was a very interesting character, he wanted to be righteous but he constantly had his back against the wall because of Babylon and Bale. He made some questionable choices but all he did was to ensure that Jian would be safe. Lee Dong Wook's cold yet calm demeanor demanded attention throughout the series. I liked the way he portrayed Jin Man, even though he wasn't very expressive since the character didn't demand it, it was the little details in his expressions and body language that gave a glimpse to Jin Man's emotions.

As for Jian, I found her to be a very complex character, one of the most complex female characters I've encountered so far. Before I had watched the drama, I expected her to be the typical young protagonist who is able to solo all of her enemies, who appears to be cold and serious and yet has a soft side and who is constantly strong. But Jian was nothing like that. To put is simply: she was a very vulnerable person. And not because she was unable to protect herself but because she had endured so much from a young age. I really appreciated the way the series handled her trauma, the scenes where she would have panic attacks and hallucinations because of her PTSD gave me so much anxiety and made my heart break.

I really liked how Jian was portrayed when she faced her enemies. Jian was never meant to be a soldier who had been trained to face dangerous enemies in the battlefield. She was a regular girl who had lost her uncle, the last member from her family and who wanted to survive. It was honestly so refreshing to finally see a protagonist who struggled to take down her enemies and who needed help from the more experienced adults. It was realistic that Jian wouldn't know what to do at first and it was also realistic that she wouldn't be able to just shoot at people. She might have trained with Jin Man but she hadn't shot a real person before. Moreover, I liked how she utilised her environment and her surroundings to take down Babylon's people. She was clever and creative, truly Jin Man's niece.

Both actresses did an excellent job portraying Jian. The child actress' performance was AMAZING, kudos to this young girl! Her eyes and the tone of her voice alone conveyed Jian's distress and fear so convincingly. During the scene when she had been locked in the basement and called for Jin Man, my heart almost broke while hearing her call for her uncle so desperately. Kim Hye Jun nailed her role as well, she was great as the older Jian and she added so may layers to her character. When Jian finally broke down, Hye Jun was absolutely terrific, you could sense how tired and sad Jian was after all the things she had to go through. Her portrayal was raw and pierced my heart.

I expected that A Shop For Killers would be thrilling to watch. What I could not foresee, however, was how heart warming and emotional it would be. Jin Man and Jian's relationship is one of my most favourite depictions of love between family members. I did not expect to be so moved. In the first half, there were some moments that made me tear up, specifically the ones between young Jian and her uncle.

I am a sucker for the "grumpy man adopts a child" trope but in that case, it goes deeper than that. Jin Man is not just grumpy. He had been exposed to many traumatic experiences and ultimately, he lost his family because of his choices (which wasn't his fault). Jian was the only thing that made him continue living. Everything he did, he did to protect her and ensure her safety. He didn't show his love in the same way her parents did but he did so through his actions and advices.

It was so heartwarming to see Jin Man and Jian grow closer after Jian's parents death. Jin Man's influence was poignant in order for Jian to cope with her trauma, while Jian herself added light to Jin Man's life. Despite his annoying shenanigans, Jian still cared for her uncle which is why she felt her world crumble when she learned about the secrets he had kept. At one point, I also started questioning myself about Jin Man's actions and feelings but thanks to the flashbacks, everything started to make more sense.

With all things considered, as much as I enjoyed A Shop For Killers, there were some aspects that prevented me from loving it as a whole. I found the second half to be less engaging than the first one. It was good that during the last episodes we got Jin Man's backstory and that we saw the events unfold from his point of view but all of these flashbacks felt so repetitive because they showed scenes we had already seen. It would have been better if there was more balance, I think it was a little bit unnecessary to dedicate two whole episodes to Jin Man and then go back to present time in the last episode.

Additionally, I would have wanted to see more scenes between Jin Man and Jian during the second half. The first episodes did an excellent job depicting their developing relationship through the flashbacks but I think we should have gotten some more interactions between them. Of course it was important to focus on Jin Man himself, since we needed more answers regarding his past but the series could have given us more scenes between him and Jian. To tell you the truth, I didn't particularly find the way the drama presented his advices very convincing. Yes, some of his words helped Jian and gave her strength but it wasn't as much impactful as I had expected. Jian didn't rely on Jin Man's advices as the description and blurb indicated, she took them into consideration but ultimately, it was she who helped herself.

All in all, I am extremely happy for finally watching this drama. It deserves all its hype and more and I cannot wait for season 2!

I wish it was better.

I really wanted to love Love this series but it was just meh for me. It was good though, if that makes any sense.

I probably shouldn't have watched it on Disney+ because there was more ad time than there was actual show and the breaks, especially during crucial times, was really aggravating. So I will no longer watch any series on Disney+. The ads made it seem like it was dragging on and on.

The fight scenes were great and everyone was interesting but it just seemed anticlimactic. Every time something happened, a ad or a cut scene to the past.

I don't understand Kdramas obsession with let the one who should have been shot, live to come after you again. I feel like Babylon knew they had a bunch of pyscho on their payroll and then let them run around free to kill. None of it actually made sense to me.

There were so many unanswered questions. I am so confused by the purpose of this series.

A Glimpse of what the Shop can offer

Kinda late, but i finally had the time to watch it and i must say, it was good.

The story in the beginning was action-packed, as usual in these types of series where they drop you off in the middle of the action in the story to hook you and i don't mind it since it delivered, then backstory. I thought they'll gonna drop all the backstory at once, then continue where we left off, but nope. The way they did it is they'll only bring up a backstory when a present scene needed a context on how it led to that point and i don't know how, but it worked, it didn't really hurt the pacing of the story nor my experience since they took their time to explain things, though, at the last 3 episodes, it slowly got to me a little bit because they tied all the timeline together and i was just waiting when are they gonna go back to the action. This season is mostly a build and just a taste of what the story can offer because the backstory mostly ate all the screen time. In the back of my mind i kinda want this drama and 'Kill Bok Soon' to diverge, how hype would that be, both dramas are very similar, the difference is just the other is a movie.

The cinematography is cool as always and the action. The editing near the end annoyed the shit out of me because they chopped the scenes a lot, they don't stay in a certain part that long and they kept using the fade-to-black transition and it was so long as well, oh my god! So i guess that's my only minor critique of this show.

The characters are really good, they're all well written down to the side characters. The FL's backstory was really sad along with ML because they are tied and i really loved their relationship dynamic during the backstory, it's so wholesome. I like how they wrote FL because she isn't just this strong character on the outside just because she's the niece of ML, she actually had to work her way up, and overcome her trauma to at least become able to hold her ground, she isn't perfectly strong yet like her uncle, she still cries gets nervous and gets helped in some situation and that's what makes her a good character. FL's actress is so cute and pretty tho... it's my first time seeing her and she looks like Adora in some angle. ML, we didn't get to spend time with him in the present, we mostly got it in the backstory and it was still good by how he was built up. He was this mysterious uncle, like FL said she lived with him for 10 years, but it was almost like she didn't know anything aside from he was her uncle until he died and she found out her uncle was involved in some shady underground business and that how she got caught up in this mess. I must say Lee Dong Wook is so badass here, i want more of this kind of project please and i noticed how he talks here, it's so asmr coded, ugh!!! Not to spoil anything, his character was built up to be this perfect killer so it's very obvious to me that there's gonna be some twist to him somewhere along the series if not then maybe in season 2, judging how he analyzed the blackmail.

Another thing i appreciated and a bit of cleanse to my pallete because chinese dramas couldn't even do this one minor detail, is their foreign characters. Because in this drama foreign characters are actually speaking the language of the characters that they are portraying, yes oh my god!!! It reminded me again that "Oh yeah, koreans never miss every minor detail in their media". Whenever you have a foreign character in your show it should be obvious that they should be speaking their mother tongue to make it convincing, i don't care how broken it is or even if you butcher the language, just do it, because the viewers will appreciate it... some of course because some will not because of the language butchering. Obviously, the actors are korean, i don't know about the thai one because he looks convincing and from the way he speaks as well, i probably have to look it up. Anyway, i appreciate the effort they made to make the foreign characters speak a foreign language.

Overall, very good action series. Highly recommend it, can't wait for season 2.

WOW

This was fantastic!! There were of course scenes that I thought wasn't necessary
and didn't need to be repeated over and over again but this is a must watch. I'm disappointed
that the mute guy didn't make it. I was hoping that he just lost an arm and that was it and was
hoping that he was gonna pop up in the final episode. The way Uncle on the sneak trained her
for what was to come was I must say brilliant. I guess it wasn't fitting for us to get a hug with her seeing him turn up alive but I was glad that he was alive at the end but there are
things that wasn't tied up so I hope we get a second season. It looks like Pasin got So Min Hye out
and got her some help for her wounds so if there's a second season I hope to see the both of them as well.
Lee Dong Wook...there's not much to say except he's great in everything. Kim Hye Joon did a great job in the role of the niece but her character did more than one stupid thing but the character was a bad ass.
This was excellent.

GREAT PLOT, CAST, ACTION SCENES, EVERYTHING! Those who loved "Moving (2023)", this is PERFECT!

Next time you feel in a mood for crime/thriller- look no further, this is IT.
I finished this series in one sitting, it was way too captivating! I NEED MORE!

Tough female lead, fantastic acting by everyone, the CAST ✨✨ I found myself falling in love with a lot of new actors <3
It's not boring - not one bit. The start itself is catchy, no filler episodes or scenes at all. A short, 8 ep drama that had me saying "Oh crap what do we do now" way more times than I thought. The story is explained in a present-flashback-present format, which I loved. There's not a LOTTTT of gore, as compared to other "kill/crime" stuff (meaning you don't get to see a whole lotta blood) but there are a lot of corpses involved. Military/mercenary elements, old gang getting back together, etc. etc.
Last time I felt so good after watching a drama of this genre was just afer I finished Moving - whomever has seen it would def agree that it was a blockbluster of a show. Similar to that, here the stoy isn't focusing on the kid(s), it's about the adults and their past and what they hid from the kid about their job. This one doesn't have any romance though.

I just can't keep my excitement and stuff under control anymore SHHSHLGJGSAAHHHHHHH
PARK JEONG WOO!!!!
JEONG I HUN!!! SARANGHAEEOO!!!
ANDDDDDDDDDDD ofc, our dear Grim Reaper ✨✨✨✨✨ Amazing as always

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.

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 😁

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.
