Although he’s been handpicked to be the heir apparent of a murderous mob, Doo-hyeon (Kang-ho Song) opts for an early retirement so he can live his dream of opening his own restaurant. While at cooking school, he meets a mysterious young girl (Se-Kyung Shin) with whom he strikes up a platonic friendship. When the head of the gang dies in a mysterious car accident, Doo-hyeon reaffirms his wish to be left out of the mob business, but the men who assume the power he declined soon decide they will never have complete control as long as he’s left alive. Director Hyeon-seung Lee knows directs the action scenes on the movie with a string visual style, but what makes the movie work is his talent for slowing things down to show us the two lead characters building a friendship under the pressure of some very strange circumstances.
