Jeong Jin Man (portrayed by Lee Dong Wook) leaves behind his niece, Jeong Ji An (portrayed by Kim Hye Jun). However, after his “death,” the truth behind his secret life are uncovered by Ji An—who is now targeted by a group of mysterious men, but is also under the protection of those who followed her uncle.
Will Ji An survive? Is Jin Man really dead?
Here are 5 reasons why you might want to watch the series:
1.) The plot keeps viewers at the edge of their seats.
The series has a lot of action and structured stunts, but the struggles—due to the character Ji An’s lack of experience—will keep viewers wondering what she will do next to survive. It’s thrilling and will make you want to root for the underdog.
2.) The mystery keeps you guessing.
It takes a while for the story to fully develop; this keeps the audience busy making theories. If you love dissecting plots and creating theories, “A Shop For Killers” has a lot of plot twists to keep you speculating and entertained.
3.) Lee Dong Wook is simply fine as Jeong Jin Man.
The actor portrayed a lot of similar characters throughout his career, but he shines differently as Jeong Jin Man—despite the show not being solely fully-centered on him. At 42 years old with almost 25 years in the acting industry, the actor simply shows what a veteran can do when given a character who’s a bit contradicting—cold yet caring.
4.) The peculiar relationship between an uncle and niece.
Although their relationship is not ideal—with all the trauma Ji An had to endure—it’s pretty obvious how much they care about each other. Their relationship is not the best, but is interesting enough to make viewers want to learn more.
5.) All in all, “A Shop For Killers” has some badass moments but also revolves around the the theme: survival. Additionally, the audience who were just in it for the ride will be fully hooked by episodes 5 and 6, as Jin Man’s story unfolds while still keeping a lot of missing puzzle pieces for the upcoming final two episodes.
“A Shop For Killers” is streaming on Disney+. The final two episodes are set to premiere on February 7.
