Netflix Korea has dropped a series of striking new stills for the upcoming noir action series Mercy For None, set to premiere exclusively on June 6, 2025. Shared on Netflix Korea's official X account today, these images offer a compelling preview of lead actor So Ji-sub’s return to the action genre after 13 years, portraying a former gangster on a relentless quest for revenge. Based on a popular Naver webtoon, Mercy For None promises a dark, gritty narrative, and these stills provide a vivid glimpse into the contrasting facets of So Ji-sub’s character, Nam Gi Jun.
The new stills for Mercy For None showcase So Ji-sub’s character, Nam Gi Jun, in a mix of intense action and brooding moments, reflecting his journey of vengeance. One image captures him in a black suit, bloodied and fighting an opponent in a dimly lit space, highlighting the series’ gritty violence. Another shows him walking down a shadowy corridor, exuding determination, while a third depicts him leaning against a wall, holding a weapon, ready for confrontation.
Other stills contrast the action with quieter, tension-filled scenes, emphasizing the noir aesthetic. So Ji-sub is seen in a suit, standing in a dimly lit room with a serious expression, possibly in a moment of reflection. Another image places him in a confined space with others in the background, suggesting a high-stakes situation, while a final still shows him in a leather jacket, standing in a cluttered room, hinting at the gritty underworld he’s re-entered.
Mercy For None follows Nam Gi Jun (So Ji-sub) as he returns to the criminal underworld after 11 years to seek justice for his brother Gi Seok’s murder. The series, categorized as a gritty, dark thriller, blends elements of crime, drama, and revenge, and also stars Huh Joon-ho, Gong Myoung, Choo Young-woo, An Kil-kang, Tiger Lee, and Cho Han-cheul. With its premiere just weeks away, these new stills have ignited excitement among fans, offering a tantalizing preview of the atmospheric tension, emotional depth, and visceral action that will define Mercy For None. Mark your calendars for June 6, 2025, when the series drops exclusively on Netflix.
