Plot
Sang-do (Ryoo Seung-bum) is a fast talking crystal meth dealer who considers himself more of a businessman than a criminal. Sang-do has been involved in the drug business all of his life. His uncle was a drug dealer (Kim Hee-ra), specializing in manufacturing crystal meth. Sang-do's mother died when one of his uncle's meth labs blew up in an accident.
Do Jin-kwang (Hwang Jung-min) is a hard-nosed cop who doesn't always play by the rules. Do's partner died four years ago, while trying to take down the top drug dealer Jang Chul (Lee Do-kyeong) in Busan. Since his partner's death, Do has been driven to arrest Jang Chul and this time he plans to use Sang-do to finally take him down.{{cite web|last=Elley|first=Derek|title=Bloody Tie|url=https://www.variety.com/review/VE1117930965/|work=Variety|access-date=2013-02-04|date=10 July 2006}}{{cite web|last=Kim|first=Kyu Hyun|title=Bloody Tie|url=http://www.koreanfilm.org/kfilm06.html#bloodytie|work=Koreanfilm.org|access-date=2013-02-04}}
