So disappointing with a great actor like Kim Nam Gil, but wow this was bad. It had cartoon-character villains, extreme sentimentality, silly dialogue, a caricature of a psychpathic villain, and ethically inconsistent views (both that guns are terrible and that even so when you see a horribly abused person use one you feel rather happy he/she got their revenge). The lead character is portrayed as heroic to the point of being angelic yet is also described as a former mercenary who has killed 99 people (what exactly was he doing then that makes him so morally pure today)? The sentimental twists are blatantly forecast and must have been embarrassingly bad for some of the good actors to play, and the failure of the police to arrive at or effectively cope with ongoing emergency situations was very implausible given what is shown in other k-drama thrillers.
