This killer is so cold

I was looking forward to the tender plot in "This Killer Isn't Too Cold", and looking forward to the loving reconciliation between the master and the apprentice, but the film ended slowly with two explosions.
The expectations in my heart also disappeared with these explosions.
But I always feel a little regretful, and I always want to ask why, why can't we reconcile? Why would you kill someone you know?
Perhaps we ordinary people, it is difficult to understand the world of killers.
Perhaps as said in many martial arts novels: Passionate cannot survive in this world.

Is Arthur really ruthless? The film is constantly paving the way for his sentience. And Harry's respect and concern, Steve's concern and care, however, once deceived and confronted, he strikes mercilessly. Even acquaintances.
Is Steve really ruthless? In fact, I think it was Arthur's words that rejected him: "I can't reconcile."
Perhaps, our regret is that their "love" was completely buried by the "coldness" of the killer world.

Well, I always want to read the connotation of a film, in fact, this film is the peak duel between two masters.
When the teacher leaves the same door, when the flying knife comes out, there are no false cases, only to see who falls first.
Only, in this way, even the audience has become ruthless.

From the viewing point of view, the camera is cold, the scene is cool, and the music is remarkable. It's also quite a piece.
