“What is it like to be in love?”

“Free. It feels free, like there’s nothing that can stop me, nothing can hold me down.
It feels as if I can do anything because of love and I’m free of the fear of failure because,
even if I can’t do everything, at least at the end of the day,
there’s still me and him. When all else fails, love won’t.”

Part 2: Succession

One year after the Surrender Series and its spin-offs, is when the Succession Series takes place. Seoul is still full of Agency members and gangster alike, but both sides have found some solace in a slice of Seoul known to be neutral territory. However, that all changes when a discovery is made early one morning. Suddenly, Seoul is no longer safe, even in the neutral zone and agents and gangsters must all be on the look out for a new threat. To stop this, the Agency calls upon former agents to return to the field for one last mission.

Part 3: Shatter

Over two years ago was when they all met. Over a year ago was when they were approached for one final mission. Now, one year after the conclusion of the Succession series, Seoul is robbed of its peace once more as Agency members and gangsters alike are being targeted.
Death and murder, lies and trechery - no one in Seoul is safe. The Surrender trilogy comes full circle as everyone goes back to the beginning to re-evaluate everything they know, everyone they know.
This time, it's not just another mission. This time, no one can be trusted.
