Great watch, great acting
Mercy For None was a pleasant surprise. I watched the series over a weekend and was immediately hooked from episode 1. I feel like this series is violent but not gratuitously bloody just for shock, even though people die in every episode.
The show overall is amazing, but the first half is far superior to the latter episodes. The "late-in-the-game" main villain is not something easy to pull off. Jun-mo was a way more interesting main villain than Geum-Son—or it could just be that Gong Myung is a better actor. I'm used to seeing him play the cute, nice guy, so his turn as a crazy douche was fun.
So Ji Sub was absolutely perfect as Nam Gi Jun, delivering an amazing performance without having much dialogue. The rest of the cast also did an amazing job.
