Meets my action junkie heart... even with plot holes.

Chang Wook is so great in such roles, and i enjoyed him in this very much. The story seemed a little bit far fetched and therefore left some holes, how much beating can one take and seem to recover in 24 hrs? or is everyone a just a super hero? this is where you suspend logic and simply enjoy the ride.
While I liked the characters, the villain just was off to me. The character was bordering on caricature and was not menacing at all for the level of crazy they tried to paint him as. I think he could have been written and acted better.
The finish was ok, not that satisfying... maybe that's a commentary on revenge in general.

If you love action and good fight sequences, then I think you'll enjoy this one
More of this type of series for Chang Wook please, I'll watch all of them.
