What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Hyeong-do works for an assassination company disguised as a metal trading firm, with executives and team leaders managing killings as office procedure.
Hyeong-do experiences guilt for the first time after meeting Ra Hun's family and reconnecting with the singer he admired.
The company setting, formal suits, bureaucratic hierarchy, and routine workplace interactions contrast with the characters' assassination work.
