Only for action fans
Great show if you're looking for pure action. It reminds John Wick, not only in style, but also in some story moments. But "Mercy for none" doesn't have any interesting characters, or plot twists. You've seen such stories many many times. It's a typical revenge story with silent, sad, overpowered main character. And also some gang wars in the background.
Acting here...is mediocre. It's not bad, but it's not mind blowing, you won't find here any complicated characters. Music is also..mediocre- not bad, but not great.
So, why 7? Because of action - it's beautiful, gory and stylish. Pacing in the first four episodes is great, but in later episodes it became slower. More story elements was added..and because it's not really interesting, later episodes were a bit boring. But nevertheless action scenes were still fun to watch.
To sum it up - if you're looking for something similar to John Wick, but korean - go watch it. It's short and fun to watch. But if you're looking for a serious crime drama - you won't find it here.
