Every day Hyeong Do (So Ji Sub) gets up, puts on a shirt and tie and heads off to his office, where he is in charge of sales at a metal manufacturing company.

To all onlookers, he looks like the ultimate “company man” – a typical white-collar office worker.

Except for one detail – he, and all of his colleagues, are not office workers at all. They are, in fact, cold-blooded hired killers.

Hyeong Do’s bosses believe he is one of the most meticulous assassins in the “company,” and have earmarked him for promotion.

But, in a twist of fate, his life is turned upside down when he meets a single mother named Mi Yeon (Lee Mi Yeon). She is kind and compassionate and soon melts his cold heart.

He resolves to turn his back on his life of crime, and resign his post at the “company.”

However, he soon discovers that his is not the sort of profession that employees can just walk away from – and his former employees decide to come after him. Can he keep Mi Yeon safe, and escape his past for good?

The White Collar Hitman

In 2008, South Korea held its first criminal trial by jury. The case presented to the court was supposed to be an easy one, as the defendant himself freely admitted to brutally murdering his mother. However, what was supposed to be a simple, open-and-shut case turns into something more, when one of the jurors, a young entrepreneur named Kwon Nam Woo (Park Hyung Sik), begins to question everything.

Without the unanimous vote of the jury, the judge, Kim Joon Gyum (Moon So Ri), is forced to re-examine the evidence and call for a new debate, to determine whether or not the defendant is guilty or not guilty.

Refusing to bow to the pressure of the majority, Kwon Nam Woo begins a thorough investigation of the case on his own. Sifting through countless investigation records, he repeatedly questions the defendant’s admission of guilt. As his investigation continues, he begins to find the evidence he needs to substantiate his doubt. Slowly joined in his search for the truth by the other jurors, Kwon Nam Woo begins to break through the majority opinion to uncover the truth and set the standard for true justice.

When the commanding officer of the camp orders Sergeant Jackson (Jared Grimes) to form a dance troupe and prepare a Christmas production meant to wow the international media and improve the U.S. Army’s public image, the one-time dancer doesn’t even know where to start. Setting up a camp-wide audition, Jackson begins screening talent, but the task isn’t easy.

Finding a handful of rare gems in an otherwise bleak world, Jackson recruits a motley assortment of prisoners, including Xiao Pang (Kim Min Ho), a shy Chinese soldier whose timid demeanor hides some slick moves; Kang Byung Sam (Oh Jung Se), a South Korean prisoner falsely accused of being a Communist sympathizer, who hopes the exposure of the troupe will help him find his missing wife; Yang Pan Rae (Park Hye Soo), a civilian who uses her dancing skills to make money for her family; and Ro Ki Soo (D.O.), a North Korean soldier with a hidden penchant for dancing. As unlikely as it sounds, this rag-tag team comes together to make something truly beautiful; but war is an ugly thing and its oppressive weight is ever-present.
