Jan Lee The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 14
4/5
The success of a series centred on an underground network of professional killers and mercenaries is largely determined by the action it delivers, and A Shop For Killers has scenes that are both fun as well as tense and high-stakes. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
This fast-paced K-drama kills off its protagonist (Lee Dong-wook) early on, but we see him throughout the show in flashbacks as he guides his niece (Kim Hye-jun) for a life she may have to live alone. Go to Full Review

3/5
A Shop for Killers seduced us with its stylish opening, but after getting into the Disney+ series and making it all the way to the end, some viewers may now be feeling buyer’s remorse. Go to Full Review

7.5/10
A Shop For Killers is action-packed, featuring characters that will sway you, piss you off, and lure you in. Lee Dong-Wook and Kim Hye-jun are the heart of the series, with a supporting cast that takes no survivors. Go to Full Review
Sayantan Gayen CBR 02/02/2024

Joel Keller Decider 01/20/2024
A Shop For Killers keeps things pretty straightforward to start, which leaves a lot of room for some good action scenes and some exploration of its two main characters. Go to Full Review

Some Guy F Nov 21 Overall good, but undermines the grounded nature of the show in bombastic moments that break from reality. It would've benefited from picking a lane on realism or cinematic action and going harder in either direction, preferably realism. See more Lucie C Aug 20 A fun ride that kept mE on the edge of my seat - there is depth, a proper villain, great fight scenes and like kdrama, great back story ! Cant wait for season 2 See more A M Jun 23 This show is a perfect 5/5. The flashbacks add emotional depth and context, all while the present-day action keeps you on the edge of your seat. The relationship between Ji-an and Jin-man is a great anchor, laced in trauma but deeply understandable. The action sequences are fresh and exciting, and the entire ensemble cast gives stellar performances. The show finds a perfect balance of mystery, action, and emotion, resulting in consistent pacing. The "shop for killers" concept is cool, made even better by being grounded in human characters. I'm very excited for a second season. See more Hafidz N May 16 A film that truly tests your nerves with a strong cast delivering solid performances. However, the series relies heavily on flashbacks, which can disrupt the flow. That’s all. See more Agent L Apr 3 It made you confused and eager to watch another episode lee dong wooks acting as jinman really hit the mark making me engrossed into the character jeong ji an his niece being a bad ass as she was i think should have had a more of a character development arc she seems just too perfect See more Connie M Feb 21 This was a good action film, on the order of "The Swordman". It could have been a film by Quentin Tarantino . Good acting, lots of action, plot on order of "Kill Bill" and looking forward to season 2 See more Read all reviews
