Synopsis: 
In 1911, during Japan's rule over Korea, a resistance fighter named Yeom tries but fails to murder the governor-general and a pro-Japanese businessman named Kang. That evening, Kang discovers that his own wife was helping Yeom. Kang kills his wife but a wet nurse runs off with one of his twin daughters. By the 1930s, there are over 30 Korean independence factions operating in Korea, China, and Manchuria. Yeom has become a captain in one of these factions, but his colleagues are unaware that he is secretly reporting to the Japanese, since back in 1911 he was tortured by the Japanese into submission.
Yeom meets with some Korean politicians in Hangzhou, including Kim Koo and Kim Won-bong, and is asked to gather three delinquent resistance members— Chu, Hwang, and Ahn— so they can enter Seoul and successfully murder Kang, along with a general named Kawaguchi. After bringing them to Shanghai, however, Yeom sells this information to the Japanese. The Japanese attempt to find Ahn, but a skilled contract-killer named Hawaii Pistol decides, on the spur of the moment, to pretend that Ahn is his wife, allowing her to elude the soldiers.
Kim Koo starts to question Yeom's loyalty, but Yeom manages to kill him and his men. Additionally, Yeom hires Hawaii Pistol to intercept and kill the three resistance members, anticipating a great reward from the Japanese. As Hawaii Pistol and his assistant Old Man travel to Seoul, they befriend Kawaguchi's son, who is a lieutenant in the Kwantung Army. In Seoul, Hawaii Pistol locates Chu and shoots him as he is running. With Chu missing, Hwang and Ahn proceed with the operation, hoping to ambush their targets at a gas station. To their mis-fortune, the car is a decoy and Hwang is killed in the attempt. Ahn is then ambushed by Hawaii Pistol, but he recognizes and spares her, and even sympathizes with her mission, since he is himself a Korean.
Ahn discovers that she is Kang's missing twin daughter. The other daughter, who happens to be engaged to Kawaguchi's son, recognizes Ahn and visits her apartment, but is killed by her father Kang and a group of soldiers. The latter are none the wiser and believe they have successfully killed Ahn. At this point, Ahn assumes her twin's identity, and a few days later, enters the wedding as the bride. Assisted by Hawaii Pistol, Old Man, and Chu— who survived his injuries— she kills Kawaguchi, Kang, and Kawaguchi's son— the groom. However, they are hemmed in by army reinforcements and Chu is killed. Realizing that she can still pose as her twin, Ahn walks out and is rescued by the Japanese soldiers— she later absconds back to Shanghai. Hawaii Pistol and the Old Man attempt to escape but Yeom kills them.

I'm actually rewatching Calikusu right now just for the heck of watching him and Fahriye on-screen (so glad they are still dating <3) . Such chemistry. Kamran and Feride's story is just heartbreakenly beautiful.
