Cha
Tae-sik (Won Bin) was one of the best agents in the South Korean
intelligence service. But after an attack on him, which unfortunately
killed his pregnant wife, he retired embittered and disillusioned
back from the agent business. Now he ekes out his existence by
running a pawn shop. No one was allowed to come too close to him as
his loss is still very painful. Only the nine-year old So-Mi (Kim
Sae-Ron), whose mother is trapped in a vicious criminal, penetrates
through to him. As So-Mi and her mother one day come to the attention
rapacious drug traffickers, Tae-sik rescues So-Mi and her mother by
scaring the criminal gang off by all the rules of agents art. With
his intervention, however, he has stirred up a hornet's nest, which
is now aware of him and his little world. In addition to the "small" criminal gang, he has now to deal with the entire organ trade mafia
on the scene, which kidnapped So-Mi and murdered her mother. Too much
is too much, therefore Tae-Sik puts the car in gear and pulls avenger
looking for So-Mi a trail of blood through the underworld...
Well, I'm not going
to tell you the end of the film because it is worth to watch it and
to see what is happening and sometimes you'll be surprised. It is
very touching to see that a person who is filled with bitterness is
able to build up a relationship/friendship again and tries to protect them as good as it is possible.
