I decided to watch this one because I was surprised for its casts which were very well known for movie roles. Mind you, in South Korea there are actors who only acts in movies because how high their standards are. Choi Min Sik is definitely one of them. His character development was good.
The story told from his humble beginnings were top class. But his endings are quite lackluster. You can tell how sharp and intuitive he was throughout the series and never used violence unless necessary. Yet he's fooled by his most trusted buddy Jungpal, who's clumsy enough that his a** got saved numerous times by Moo Sik! From that alone, anyone could tell how incapable he was in money related affairs. Yet at the end, he's suddenly managing a whole casino in Las Vegas of all places? Not to mention how he pulled the trigger so easily when Moo Sik's strongest enemy Seo Taesok couldn't even do it to him after sneaking in his own bedroom to kill him in the first place! The police guy got good English, but the language usage was a bit unnatural for everyday conversation. Seeing how sharp he was, I wouldn't be surprised if he heard the gunshot and saw Moo Sik laying dead with Jungpal missing and caught him with his eyes closed. But man he didn't even got a clue. If that's a plot hole, the biggest one would be Moo Sik not checking his underground stash out properly and judging that it's been done by the only person he told about the secret room in the first place!
Man I'm disappointed.
