Netflix’s latest noir action series Mercy for None has exploded onto the global stage.
The drama follows Gi Jun (So Ji Sub), a man who once cut his own Achilles tendon to walk away from the violent underworld. But when his younger brother Gi Seok—second-in-command of the organization—is murdered, he returns after 11 years to uncover the truth and seek revenge.
Mercy for None climbed to #2 on the streamer’s Global Top 10 for non-English TV shows just three days after its release. The series also made the Top 10 list in 44 countries, cementing its status as a breakout global hit.
The series earned widespread acclaim for its cold-blooded, high-impact noir action and hard-boiled thrills. International media has been particularly praising it, with Decider noting “the action and revenge story in Mercy For None is enough to keep us watching, and the episodes are well-paced,” while Collider called it “the unofficial ‘John Wick’ spinoff we always wanted.”
Fans around the world are echoing that sentiment with glowing reviews: “I was holding my breath the whole way through,” “Fast-paced, tight action,” “It really delivers,” and “Great story, solid acting, clean action. It’s like a Korean ‘John Wick.'”
Meanwhile, the released behind-the-scenes stills capture attention by showcasing both the actors’ passionate dedication and the harmonious atmosphere of the filming set.
