Based on a novel by The Killer’s Shopping List author Kang Ji Young, A Shop for Killers follows Jeong Ji An, played by Kim Hye Joon, who moves in with her uncle Jeong Jin Man, played by Lee Dong Wook, after her parents’ passing. Season 2 picks up with Ji An as the shopping mall’s new CEO, joining forces with Jin Man, who returns alive, to fight back against the global forces of Babylon.

Familiar Faces Return Stronger

Jin Man, who returned alive, along with allies Min Hye and Pasin, all come back in even stronger form. The biggest shift, though, is in Ji An herself — unlike Season 1 when she was frightened by sudden assassin attacks, she now shows a transformed gaze as she fully steps into the world of killers.

A Familiar Rival Returns

Bale, the relentless “killing machine” pursuing Jin Man, also returns, intensifying the suspense, with fans eager for another showdown between the two rivals bound by both rivalry and revenge.

New Threats from Babylon

The danger is scaling up significantly this season. Babylon, the powerful global mercenary organization, expands into an East Asia branch, introducing fresh antagonists: Jung Yun Ha as the enigmatic branch manager Kusunagi, Hyunri as team leader Q, and Masaki Okada as ace mercenary Jay.
