So Ji Sub returns to the underworld seeking his brother's murderer in 'Mercy for None' Nam Gi Jun was once a key member of the Bongsan Gang, led by Koo Bong San. He fought through bloody turf wars, helping the gang rise to power. But everything changed when his younger brother, Nam Gi Seok, joined their rival gang, Joowoon, under Lee Ju Un. To protect his brother, Nam Gi Jun made a brutal choice - he left Bongsan for good, severing his left Achilles tendon as proof that he would never return. Eleven years later, he lives a quiet life, running a small drink supply business serving Bongsan-owned establishments. He has no intention of going back. But when Nam Gi Seok, now the second-in-command of Joowoon, is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Nam Gi Jun knows he can't stay away. To find the truth and take revenge, he steps back into the underworld he swore to leave behind - where old grudges still burn, power has shifted, and nothing is as it seems.

? Mercy for None: Stylish Fights Over Substance
Rating: 7.5/10Recommended for: action junkies, background bingers, or anyone craving intense visuals.
Not for: lovers of layered storytelling or emotional nuance.
If you're in the mood for a visually gripping binge with intense action and minimal brain work, Mercy for None might just be your weekend filler.
The series centers entirely around revenge and while that’s a classic motive, the storyline doesn’t offer much beyond that. There’s little to no plot development or depth, and if you’re someone who watches for clever twists or emotional arcs, this might fall flat. It’s a straight road from Point A to Point B, with fists flying all the way.
That said, the fight choreography is incredible. Stylish, brutal, and sometimes over-the-top to the point of being unrealistic but that’s part of the fun if you’re in the right mood. It’s one of those shows where you won’t care much about what’s happening as long as something’s exploding or someone’s getting kicked through a wall.
The acting is strong, which is no surprise given the star-studded cast. They make even the most cliché moments watchable. But even their performances can't fully compensate for the lack of a compelling story.

Overall a bit linear, with too many hurdles that circled around too muchThe gore was funny, everyone was crazy and it became a bit underwhelming the contrast of the veterans vrs the newbies
A woo dohwan tho would’ve made it more interesting, or even kangjoonie stopping his too uwu and going full dark mode
I need something super girly after this
A spoiled brat and a sheltered brat..
I wonder if it’s a new trend or if it was always like this but fan sites didn’t do it
The “twist” being a guest or side character low in the ranks, before they’d make all villains as the 2nd or 3rd
I’m here rooting for hot ahjussis when their spoiled brats want the power…
Like you didn’t work for it as much as they did and once they reached the power they realized how bad it was
Now they tried to steal the power and ended up killing their dads and getting played…
