The Man from Nowhere / int_1235f055	type	Dirty Coward
The Man from Nowhere / int_1235f055	comment	Dirty Coward: Mr. Oh. He happily beats Man-seok when he's at the top of the food chain with armed guards around but turns tail runs when the Seoks set him up to take the fall on a heroin deal. When Ramrowan hunts him down and kills his remaining men all he can do is pathetically beg for his life and try to turn the mercenary against the brothers before being cut down. The Seok brothers themselves. As soon as Tae-sik so much as sets foot in their club their strategy becomes to flee as quickly as possible. Jong-seok in particular is happy to torture helpless victims to death but once Tae-sik turns the table on him all he can do is spew impotent threats at Tae-sik while hoping not to die gruesomely and Man-seok flees his penthouse the second Tae-sik starts shooting, even going so far as to call the cops himself and try frantically to dissuade Tae-sik from killing him when he's alone.

He clearly relishes their fights, and during the final battle, waits for Tae-Sik to finish the mooks before engaging him one on one in a knife fight, despite having a gun. It's also hinted that he has a soft spot for kids, trying to protect So-Mi from seeing her mother being tortured, bringing her snacks in the ant's nest and ultimately saving her from getting her eyes removed by 500, going so far as disobeying and lying to his boss.

The fact that they relentlessly mock and deride him along the way makes his Roaring Rampage of Revenge all the more appropriate. Mr. Oh makes some dismissive and racially-charged remarks about Ramrowan in his first appearance. Later, Ramrowan defeats all of Mr. Oh's men, disfigures him and brings him in for organ harvesting. Granted, he was following orders from Jong-Seok , but he made a point of confronting Mr. Oh alone, and watched him beg for his life with a smile before slashing his face open.

The Man from Nowhere / int_8e04fdd7	comment	Dragon with an Agenda: Ramrowan seems far more interested in finding a Worthy Opponent through mercenary work than he is loyal to Man-seok and Jong-seok. While he does happily kill for them, once he's faced with Tae-sik he mostly focuses on facing the hero and plays to his own rules such as forming a friendship with and later sparing So-mi.

To note: Mr. Oh, the initial Big Bad, winds up getting his organs harvested in his own meth lab. Jong-Seok dies the most horrifically karmic death in the film. Especially so since he has to watch helplessly as it happens. "500", the "expert" in organ harvesting, is killed and has his own eyes harvested. Ramrowan, a Knife expert, is killed by Tae-sik's knife.

When he arrives at the organ harvesting area, he finds the corpse a girl whose fingernails were painted by So-mi. The audience knows that it's the wrong girl, but Tae-sik mistakes her for So-mi. Strangely, Tae-sik is never really shown reacting to this misconception, and he sees the real So-mi immediately afterwards.
