Being Mr. Kang's most loyal employee, Sun-woo is assigned with the task of watching over the former's young mistress, whom is suspected of being involved with another man. But Sun-Woo finds himself incapable of following the order of killing the two lovers after the suspicions are proven right, starting a war with his former crime family.

Avenging the Villain: Sun-woo ends up being killed by the gun dealer's brother at the end. Interestingly, the gun dealer's brother doesn't seem to know that Sun-woo was the one who killed his brother, he just knows that it's one of the people participating in the shootout at the end, so he kills all the survivors.

Anti-Hero: Sun-woo is a skilled and ruthless enforcer working for a big criminal organisation, but lets Hee-soo and her lover walk out (mostly) unharmed, as long as they agree to stop seeing each other, instead of murdering the two of them. Whether this choice is caused by pity, ethical reasons or by his growing feelings for Hee-soo is up to debate.

Ballistic Discount: At first, Sun-woo tries to buy one gun peacefully. However, the arms dealers figure out his ruse so he is forced to kill them all. He then takes all the weapon he can carry.
