Good action series, NO complications!
A shop for killers is a really good action series.
The story is not so original but the execution is what kept me hooked. I liked the pacing of the story, no filler, no unnecessary scenes, just pure drama and non-stop action. 8 episodes with a season 2 coming out this year is a good choice.
Apart from that, acting, fighting scenes were all good too. Nothing to say.
There's another thing that might be unpopular or a hot take, a lot will probably disagree but i think the lead actor Lee Dong-Wook acting in this series wasn't really good and convincing to me.
Like don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he can't act, he's a good actor but i believe he fits more in Romance, Drama and Comedy genres, the action genre and this series in particular requires someone with more menacing look, someone who could look more believable as a lead actor and he wasn't. I could think of many others who could've been a good fit but whatever, this is just my point of view.
