K-DRAMA SNEAK PREVIEW: “Mercy For None” So Ji Sub’s Noir Comeback Features Gritty Revenge

In this intense noir action drama, Gi-jun, a former gangster who once severed his own Achilles tendon to escape the criminal underworld, is forced back into its deadly grasp.

11 years after walking away, he returns to uncover the truth behind his younger brother Gi-seok’s mysterious death—and to take revenge.

So Ji Sub takes on the lead role of Gi-jun, marking his long-awaited return to the noir action genre 11 years after A Company Man. Making a special appearance as Gi-seok is Lee Jun Hyuk (Love Scout, Dongjae, the Good or the Bastard). In Gi-jun’s absence, Gi-seok rose through the ranks, turning the organization Juun into a powerful business empire as its executive director—until his untimely and suspicious demise sets the story in motion.

The drama features an ensemble cast of veteran actors and rising stars. Heo Joon Ho (Bloodhounds, Kingdom) plays Lee Ju-un, the ruthless leader of Juun, while Ahn Gil-Kang (Watcher, Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938) portrays Gu Bong-san, the head of Juun’s rival organization, Bongsan. Gong Myoung (Killing Romance, Extreme Job) steps into the role of Jun-mo, Bongsan’s ambitious heir, while Choo Young Woo (The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, The Tale of Lady Ok) plays Geum-son, the son of Juun’s leader, who leads a double life as a prosecutor with hidden motives.

Adding more intrigue to the underworld’s power struggle, Tiger Lee (The Roundup: No Way Out) appears as Sim Seong-won, the head of N-Clean, a shadowy organization that specializes in erasing loose ends for crime syndicates. Cho Han-cheul (Gyeongseong Creature) takes on the role of Seong-cheol, the trusted right-hand man of boss Lee Ju-un. Meanwhile, Cha Seung Won (Uprising) makes a special guest appearance as the enigmatic Mr. Kim, a figure who holds the key to the fragile coexistence of the two rival organizations.

With a star-studded cast, a gripping revenge plot, and high-octane action sequences, this drama promises to deliver a thrilling ride through a world where loyalty is tested, alliances shift, and vengeance knows no limits.
