And although they are outnumbered and overpowered, they will give everything they have to break free from the constant threat.
Should I Watch
'A Shop for Killers 2' is an action thriller about modern warfare and loyalty. At 8 episodes, it is fast-paced and makes an exciting ride. The leads play their parts well and the multitude of villains keeps the conflict going. Season 2 ups the action while shedding a little light on the mysteries of how they got there. We get more scenes with Lee Dong Wook this time around, which is always welcome.
But most fans agree that this season is not as good as the first. There is a lack of emotional complexity and the plot feels a bit messy. They introduced way more characters than they could ever develop in 8 action-packed episodes and the ending felt too rushed. But I enjoyed seeing the characters again and I found the fight scenes exhilirating. I give 'A Shop for Killers 2' a 3 out of 5.
