action

Kim Sun-woo is absolutely loyal to his gang boss Mr. Kang. Coldly and professionally, Sun-woo does his boss's chores until he gets the job of taking care of his boss's young lover, Hee-soo. Mr. Kang suspects that she is cheating on him and if he is right, Sun-Woo should notify him immediately or resolve the matter himself. In fact, Hee-soo is cheating on the unscrupulous gang boss, but instead of reporting, Sun-woo says that Hee-soo and her secret lover must never see each other again, and he doesn't tell Mr. Kang either. However, he learns of the "betrayal" of his servant and has him tortured almost to death. At the last second, however, Sun-woo escapes and seeks revenge. He kills an arms dealer to get weapons. He brutally makes his way to Mr. Kang and shoots him after he doesn't answer the question why Sun-woo was treated so badly after seven years of loyal service. Sun-woo dies from gunshot wounds as a result of a bloody shootout with Mr. Kang's henchmen and partners. As he dies, he remembers a cello play by Hee-soo that he was allowed to listen to once. The arms dealer's brother shot him last, before he killed the last two remaining henchmen. Finally, the film ends with the continuation of an earlier scene from the film: Sun-woo stands alone in front of a window and boxes against his own reflection.
