“Never to Lose” concerns the men of Homicide Unit 3, who are in dire straits at the moment. While Unit 3’s cops are full of ambition and talent, they never seem to crack a case. The team is comprised of Detective Koh, a 15 year veteran, Detective Kim (Min-jun Kim), a rookie eager to make a name for himself, Detective Koh, a married man who spends more time on the job than with his wife, and Detective Ryung ( Sang-mi Nam ), who can’t get taken seriously by her peers because she’s a woman. While at a party with his girlfriend, Kim happens upon information about a drug deal that could get the team the respect they’ve been looking for. But what the team gets into turns out to be not just a big drug bust, but a case that makes Homicide Unit 3 the target of the largest drug lord in Korea .



This movie was a freakin' riot. I really liked it. It wasn't a blockbuster but it kept me on my toes and it was fun. Okay, I'll admit Kim Min Jun was freakin' hot!

I'll admit there were a few scenes that were funny but I don't think was really supposed to be a comedy. Okay, I cried when one particular cop was killed. I couldn't believe it. I think it was the quote that he said that made my heart hurt.

I did think that a romance was supposed to have evolved between two particular cops but I think they didn't want to make this movie into something like that. So the romance was on the downlow. Which was okay. But I was hoping.................

The movie had a great start, good middle, and a rewarding ending. So this movie wasn't half bad.

Four friends plot to steal money meant for the rival gang leader with hope of starting new lives. They follow through and succeed in taking the money but eventually get caught by the gang when one of the friends betrays. An arrangement is made so that the leader of the four goes to prison for the rest. However, when he gets out, he finds that the lives of the friends have turned for the worst. He wants to forget about the past and move on but finds himself left with no choice but to revenge.


OMG! I have been waiting for this movie since conception! My two most favorite men in history are in this movie.......

I loved it! I won't lie it wasn't their best but it was worthy. There isn't nothing wrong with this movie. Great action, acting, fighting. God, it had it all. I live and breathe these two men. When apart they stand out in their own right, but when put together on the screen......the film explodes into oblivion because these two are power packed actors who never leave me in doubt.

Must see! Fate is awesome. My only regret is that my Kwon Sang Woo was actually the bad guy in this. Usually these guys are put together and fight together not against each other. It was strange. Hey! And what was the deal with how Cheol-jeung was killed? That was a crappy way to put him out. That was Woo-min's job...gosh darn it!

The two finest Korean men I've ever seen!
