Commitment Plot Summary

What happens in Commitment from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Nineteen-year-old Li Myung-hoon (Choi Seung-hyun) never imagined he would become a killer. Born into a privileged life in North Korea, his dream was to sit at a piano and pour his heart into music. Yet his world shatters when his father, a North Korean spy, dies in disgrace, and he and his younger sister Hye-in (Kim You-jung) are sent to a guilt-by-association forced labor camp. Their father’s superior, a high-ranking military official, Colonel Moon (Jo Sung-ha), presents a chilling option: return to the South as a technician—an assassin—and complete what his father couldn’t, and in exchange he and his sister will be released. Myung-hoon agrees after two years of grueling training that hardens him into a weapon rather than the pianist he once hoped to be.
