Let’s be real… Mercy For None is basically South Korea’s answer to John Wick, and I’m here for EVERY second of it. Starring So Ji-sub like we’ve never seen him before—as a cold, sharp, calculated killer with grief, regrets, and absolutely no time for mercy—this show went from “hmm interesting Webtoon” to “I’m emotionally destroyed” REAL FAST 😭
I had already read a few episodes of the Webtoon, and even then I was hooked. But watching it all come to life on Netflix with THAT cast?! Insane. Seeing Jisub go full assassin mode was wild—like when he took off his glasses I just knew bodies were about to drop 😭☠️
The vibes were pure chaos: revenge, betrayal, blood, regret. The mafia backstory, the insane fight choreography, the minimal female presence (literally two women in the entire thing 💀), the sad poetic ending?? Whew. All of it just hit. It’s violent AF but the violence feels earned. The emotions though? That was the real stab in the heart. 💔
