A great Korean neo-noir title

Warning: Spoilers
Lee Ja Sung is an undercover cop sent by Chief Kang to infiltrate Goldmoon, a corporate entity run by criminals. However, he finds himself in a difficult situation after the chairman of Goldmoon suddenly dies because he is still forced to keep his identity while Chief Kang becomes a Chessmaster for the movie.

The whole point of the plot was all about Ja Sung's identity and whether he will stick to his mission as an undercover cop or become a full-fledged criminal. Guess what? He chose the latter at the end of the film.

What I liked about the film is that it placed emphasis on Ja Sung's struggle to stick to his mission and the ills of the police force that shaped his identity at the ending of the film. My only criticism of this movie is that it borrowed many elements from Infernal Affairs (a Hong Kong movie)
