About
If you enjoy Korean action mysteries with a noir mood, offbeat humor, and a found-family thread amid conspiracies, this could click for you; Not for you if you need straightforward plotting like Hard Hit.
Pros: stylish noir-meets-action vibe; dark humor and charm; strong cast chemistry | Cons: convoluted, confusing plot; uneven tone shifts; some artificial-looking visuals
