Our take
This MA 15+ Korean action thriller follows a secret society of contract killers thrown into chaos after old rules collapse. Frequent f-word and motherf-word dialogue, murder-for-hire as the central premise, bloody knives and talk of killing minors as a taboo line all land hard. Funeral scenes and the loss of a former colleague add emotional weight. Strictly for mature adults and older teens; the glamorized assassin culture is adult territory.
Story (may spoil tone)
The secret society of contract killers falls into chaos, unleashing a new breed of assassins. With old rules in ruins, who dares claim the shadows?

Talk after watching
- The film treats killing as a business with codes and betrayals. How does turning violence into work change moral responsibility?
- Jae-yi inherits a legacy she did not choose. What does it mean to escape a family or mentor's path?
