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.

Fighting fighting & fighting.
If you like bloody fighting to the death, this is your series. You can't help but get hooked on how Ji Jun get's out of every situation he's in, whether he's facing one person or an entire room of people. After a while, though, it does get a bit tiring how he just keeps killing every single person he comes in contact with. I think the story becomes a bit lacking ... leaving just the fighting to watch as entertainment, but not too much in the way of substance.The supporting cast give a good back up to all the fighting. Jun Mo played by Gong Myung makes you really wish for a painful death on his part ... which he eventually gets!
Young Woo, who I've become a big fan of, gives us a dark and sinister character of Geum Son. He does a great job at showing his acting ability with a personality he has never shown before.
I wish the writing would have equaled the acting & fighting ... but it did make for some good action, and lots of blood!!!!
