Wretches (2018)

I waited for this movie for 2 years till the subs finally came out, that's how long I anticipated this movie (mainly because of Yi Kyung and Won Geun). I wasn't expecting much though, I knew It would be average but the writing made me regretful.

The first half of the movie was okay, just your typical school drama and a bully with father/anger management issues, involving a mentally challenged girl as the driver of the story. The second half turns into senseless revenge, all wrapped with a corny ending trying to display how the mental suffering from bullying can turn you into a monster but ends up showcasing how incapable the writing is. So the end was really a bunch of predicted rubbish.

The acting was good on the other hand, but couldn't save the movie for me. Won Geun played the harrassed victim pretty well. Yi Kyung was average (not the psycho you're anticipating). So If you want to watch this for your favorite actors, go ahead and try. If not, I won't recommend it.
