The translation was terrifically readable, and I found myself trying to determine which K Drama actor I'd choose for Reseng. :) jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-2998479952871222052019-01-10T07:14:16.248-06:002019-01-10T07:14:16.248-06:00Some black comedy mixed with thoughtful introspect...Some black comedy mixed with thoughtful introspection on the part of Reseng, but not at all like a typical thriller. :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-75635955850664010632019-01-10T06:41:38.785-06:002019-01-10T06:41:38.785-06:00I'm not sure about this one but your review ha...I'm not sure about this one but your review had me curious. :) Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-45345757813022812332019-01-09T19:37:56.275-06:002019-01-09T19:37:56.275-06:00Sounds very different from the typical thriller so...Sounds very different from the typical thriller so I'm intrigued!

It may be a dangerous, but to the assassins, it is merely a job. And the plotters? They may appear respectable, but they have no qualms in directing and using criminal elements to their own ends. Reseng is a fascinating character and despite being appalled at his work, I couldn't help but like him. Watching him reexamine his life was compelling. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-31956620698244859212019-01-08T16:07:55.153-06:002019-01-08T16:07:55.153-06:00One of the themes is that there is always a plotte...One of the themes is that there is always a plotter to fill the chair.
