Wow. I don't know why this is so underrated but this is pretty awesome. The action, plot, art are next level. The author and the artist is really good

About 10 chapters in I had to stop, which is also a big ‘no-no’ for me as I won’t stop believing and I certainly hold on to this and every feeling. However, I had to take the midnight train going home. 
Director Kim is a good story, a great story even. The art is sublime at times and the choreographical fight scenes were on point, or fleek as the kids say these days. “Why did you stop reading when you enjoy all the criteria?” You ask. Good question!
Spoilers:
I would have loved this a few years ago, giving it 5/5 on the above compliments alone. But now I am fighting against the one thing we can’t stop: time. Having a 3 year old daughter that my world revolves around, I can’t imagine a life without that precious little sociopath at all, and in this story - the MC goes through my idea of literal hėll. It has been glossed over slightly, but for all the doting parents reading this, or loving brothers or sisters with beloved siblings, choosing to read Director Kim will put you through the emotional ringer. Maybe I am going soft in my later years, who knows? Some of you may agree with me here when I say it is not an easy read to pick up for casual reading. 
Going through the chapters where Kim’s daughter has been kidnapped (think Taken but  minus a rampaging Irishman with a head cold), and he is losing his mind alone in his home - it broke me thinking about the possibility of that happening. The fact that he missed all the signs of her being bullied was a trigger too. Having this much impact within under 10 chapters is certainly a credit to the writing for sure on this piece. 
Tl;dr.
Great story but brutally stomped all over the responsible, loving, parental guardian aspect inside of me. Hit too close to home and needed to check out early however totally recommend it to all those teen and above. Dark, gritty, violent, and that’s just my wife. Thanks for reading. -Surfa

@Ianes Grécia  thank you for your compliment. It’s rare to be valued from a fellow reader, so I take it graciously from you, good sir.
I can never understand why people downvote reviews, they’re there to help. Well, in theory at least. And those that are hating on the story so they downvote reviews - write a bad review for the story! Tell us why you dislike it, your opinion is valued and wanted. Sigh.

Spoiler!
MC is a war-hardened veteran who doesn't dare to take the life of the perpetrators who endangered his daughter's life. It's all painted as a revenge story but in actual fact it's an endless loop of:
1 "Where is my daughter"
2 "I swear if she's not alive.."
3 Fistfight when people actually have guns
4 Get interrupted because you're taking too long
5 Move to next location
6 repeat
