Y'all sleeping on Korean John Wick here. Get on it. Streaming on Prime. You have no excuse. Originally published 03 Nov 13. Holy shit, I have to own this movie. This is one of those random "Netflix suggests" films I added to my queue like two and a half years ago and oh my God, it is amazing.
Did you ever watch The Professional and think, "man, I wish that guy was Asian. And hot." Well, the gods of Korean cinema were listening and they got your back.
Cha Tae-shik (Won Bin) is a quiet pawnshop owner. His only human interaction is with So-mi (Kim Sae-ron), a little girl who lives next door. When So-mi's mother (Kim Hyo-seo) rips off some heroin and hides it in Tae-shik's pawnshop, the dealers comes after everyone. They take So-mi and her mom hostage and force Tae-shik to do a run for them. But they do not understand precisely with whom they are fucking, as Tae-shik is a badass of the highest order.
