Netflix's recently released K-Drama showcases a noticeable "dance" vibe, now accessible for streaming.
Get ready to dive into a gripping Korean drama that'll keep you on the edge of your seat! We're talking about "Mercy for None" on Netflix. If you're missing the action-packed thrills of the John Wick series, this one's for you.
While we wait for John Wick: Chapter 5, give this series a spin. It's set to release in June and it's bound to be a hit!
All About Mercy for None - Netflix's New Drama
If you haven't caught up with the John Wick films or seen them in theatres, let's catch you up. This neo-noir series revolves around an unforgettable hitman (played by Keanu Reeves) who keeps getting sucked back into the seedy underworld he's tried to leave behind.
In a similar vein, the latest chapter, "Ballerina", and "Mercy for None" share some common elements.
In "Mercy for None", based on Plaza Wars: Mercy for None by O Se-hyung and Kim Gyun-tae, we follow Nam Gi-jun (played by So Ji-sub), a former high-ranking gang member who's left his criminal past behind. His life takes a drastic turn when his younger brother, Nam Gi-seok, is brutally murdered. Forced out of retirement, Gi-jun returns to the Seoul underworld to seek revenge and uncover the truth behind his brother’s murder.
