i think this is a worthy remake of leon: the professional (1994) if the director/writer ever wanted to admit that he was inspired by the latter. i don't watch korean soaps, i am especially not familiar with won bin of autumn in my heart (2000) fame. he was pretty good as the mysterious pawn shop owner who established a relationship with the little girl from next door, who needed attention from an adult because her mother is busy doing heroin (or crack?). it's a story of urban poverty and desperation seen in pretty much all developed/developing countries - of people who lose hope and live in the shell of their former selves. some lost it all together, others, they need to be recalled of how precious that hope and the will to live can be.
