Best Movie Ever!
I have already watched this movie several times and I have to say that I am not bored yet! Even after watching this movie a few times a week it’s not getting boring.I loved the idea of the STORYLINE. After I first watched it I got addicted to movies and dramas with this kind of concept. I can’t describe how much I love this movie.
The CAST also was amazing. I recognised a few faces from other drama and it was so cool seeing Yeo Jingoo portraying a character like this. His acting was amazing and I am very impressed because he was so young.
All in all I highly recommend watching this movie!

One of the best watch of the year: dark, gripping in the best way
I love a lot this truly thrilling dark movie. It was torturous and violent, gripping and fascinating in the best way. The pyschological aspects coupled with impressive action scenes really got to me. I was on my toes during the full duration of the movie. It does not feel outdated at all (minus maybe the special effect and again it was still quite good to express what needed to be expressed).The cast is amazing. I love Yeo Jin Goo (since he was acting as a kid in Iljimae) and I have seen quite a bit of his work. He was probably about 15 years old maximum when he filmed this movie and his performance was astounishing. There are many very well-known faces in this movie, actors that I really enjoy and who also delivers strong performances. It felt like a real feast to see actors that I knew from other works: Yeo Jin Goo but also amazing Jo Jin Woong, incredible Kim Sung Kyun, great Yoo Yeon Seok, as well as to discover very talented (and new to me) people: Kim Yoon Seok, Park Hae Joon,...and more.
I truly recommend this to people that are looking for a dark action movie that will take you on a thrilling journey with its main character. The psychological elements behind the characters actions and bonds between them are disturbingly captivating and pretty memorable. It is very violent and dark, so if you have any triggers, of course proceed with caution.

Outstanding movie
Wow just wow. I’ve never written a review before but after been recommended this movie thought I’d give it a go. I love a movie or series that is slightly different and this was it. The actors, all of them where amazing but my heart just melted for Hwayi. He absolutely nailed his character, his eyes never lied, his expressions, everything. He was the true victim here. I’ve read a few reviews but my take on the ending differs to those. Hwayi’s ‘fathers’ where never his real dads, his real parents where the elderly couple who wouldn’t move home on the construction site. Hwayi was made to murder his real dad but at the time never knew he was his father, the flashbacks cemented this. I’ve seen a few comments that mentioned they wished one of the ‘fathers’ had killed Hwayi, not sure why. Each of his ‘fathers’ viewed and felt for Hwayi differently. I believe most of them would of killed Hwayi if the situation arose. There was only one dad however who I felt would save him if given the chance and genuinely cared for Hwayi. Another scene when one of the dads joined Hwayi at the toilet and mentioned to him about going to the baths. That concerned me, was it implying there was something untoward going on, however this was never explored. The ending I needed, he reached out to Young Joo who’d been like a mum to him. Very sad movie though.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
