I began watching this show because it was supposedly like "Battle Royale." The only thing these two works have in common is that there are young people involved in a psychological game involving death and killing. It's more along the lines of "Kaiji" or "Insight Mill," but not as good as either of those.



The concept is really interesting. It's complex, energetic, and a little dark. The way in which the story unfolds is where things fall apart. In what appears to be an attempt to jostle the viewer and communicate unsettling suspense, much of the story is cryptic and ambiguous. I am a big fan of restraint in storytelling and am annoyed when things are spelled out too clearly, but this film over-corrected and went too far in the opposite direction. This resulted in the end feeling very rushed. That said, I did enjoy the way in which the film started.



The acting was OK. The actors were all gorgeous. Set design and cinematography were typical for the genre. The music was generic, I wouldn't watch it again, ever.



I finished watching it, but that's the best thing I can say about it, lol. Definitely a solid "4/watchable."

Aww this movie isnt as bad as the other review suggests. Yes the ending sux but the stuff that comes before is kind of interesting to watch. The acting was pretty average but I liked how all the characters come together, each having their own special talent, to put on this fashion show. Its the one last chance to spend with each other before the inevitable occurs (the sucky ending). I was really disappointing with the romance part cause they could've just added that one last scene at the end showing them together at least to give us some hope. But yeah I'll repeat the ending sucked. There are worse movies out there so if you just need something to watch this is okay, although 2 hrs is a little much for the story.

I really did not get the point of this movie. In the beginning it already shows you what the ending result is. The clothes he designs are really ugly, like a tacky take on a kilt. The acting was not all that bad, but this story just seemed so unrealistic. There's no way a class of 40 could pull off a fashion show like that!I don't want to give away the end, but it is very disappointing because we already know what's going to happen since we saw the beginning. There are also a lot of things that happen that aren't explained later. I watched the whole movie just hoping it would end soon honestly.



If you want to watch a movie about fashion, watch Paradise Kiss. It's not the best movie ever, but it beats this one by a lot.

This is my first time ever watching such a movie, Honest truth I really wouldn't be into thee kinds of movies on my own. It's not the kind of a story I'd look upon my own. This movie aired here on Norwegian tv with subs so I decided to give it a go. This review will be written from my own point of view on the movie.



First to start it off. I can't say I was to impressed about the music shown in the movie. I didn't expect much upon it, Still it wasn't too much to brag about the music. I felt that some of the music was just there and might not really be to fitting upon the scenes it was added into.



The story progressed kinda as expected from having read the review. I felt that most of the movie went to revolve about the main girl. I liked the movie for its storyline and acting. The actors did a really good job upon acting out the different characters. The story basically revolves around Park Hyun Seo. A young girl who by a mistake gets taken away by a mutated monster from the sea upon her father making a mistake grabbing the wrong persons hand while trying to flee. By the time he notices it is already to late to go and get her back as the monster already is right behind her about to take her. Her father starts grieving as he believes he has lost his only daughter. Later that night upon being admitted to the hospital he recieves a call from his daughter saying she is stuck hiding in the sewers and that she is alive. An ask for help turns into a family mission as her entire family heads out to find Park Hyun Seo. And it doesn't make things easier that the korean society aswell as police officers are out to catch their family because of a possibly deadly virus they may have gotten. The story takes on unexpected twists and it will show you just how strong a family bond really is, Aswell as the bond between a father and a daughter.



The genres of the movie were, Comedy, Drama and Horror.

I can understand why they put in the comedy and drama genres, But in overall the story didn't justify as a horror movie. It didn't scare you nor make you especially uptight.



It was a really good movie, I gave it a steady 7. I would recommend people to see it. The story will have you watching all the way, Allthough the movie might start off as somehow boring, It won't turn out that way..



Will Park Hyun Seo be saved?

Pls. dont read synopsis/trailers/reviews in DC..it has spoilers

PS: To avoid crying, keep repeating...its only a movie..its only a movie.. its only a a movie x10

This is probably "the best film with dogs in it" ive seen..and its probably better than the film "Hachiko" even its a true story. (oops...but Hachiko's ending is one of a kind)

note: the above is just a bit exagerated by me

The dog alone should probably win best actor award :)

This movie is cute but heavy in scenarios and emotions and sometimes unpredictable because often suspenseful and touching that even a person with a metal heart will melt.

So I haven't seen the anime or read the manga so my review is based solely on the movie.



I was very excited to watch this movie because I really liked all the main actors and it looked beautifully made but in the end I was left with somewhat of a disappointment.



Kekio was dull, Osamu didn't do the "I'm cool and mysterious" thing well enough, Aya and Kento looked great but their story line wasn't polished off well (I was more interested in them than the leads' story) and Yusuke was the saving grace of this movie cuz his acting was the only convincing thing here.



I don't mean to bash the movie, I enjoyed the movie enough to say I don't regret watching it, but I feel like had this movie been made into a drama instead it would have been for the better. I felt like it started off very well but then it plateaued and then kinda dropped near the end storyline-wise. I wasn't convinced with anyone's feelings or actions towards anyone else so to me the last 1/4 of the movie wasn't as heartfelt as it could have been. It felt like for the second half of the movie we got little spurts of everything and so I didn't feel the connections between any of the characters.

The music and the color schemes were beautiful (visually it was very pleasing) and its always nice to see beautiful actors doing their thing on camera but that's not enough to get me to re-watch it unfortunately... unless they do a spin-off with the other characters other than the main ones and turn it into a drama, with extra melodramatics and angst lol.

But like I said I don't regret watching it so I guess I would say "watch it if you've got and 1 3/4 hour to kill and like these actors just don't go in with too high expectations like me:)"

This movie is about teen bullying. Not only you will see the victim side but also the bully himself. They started off as good friends until there was a misunderstanding between one of them. Their other good friend tried to help them both to work things out until something tragic happened. I actually feel sorry for the bully instead of the victims. IDK, thats just my opinion.

The only problem I had with this movie was that it started off really slow. There were flashbacks and I couldn't tell if it was the present or their past that was playing. You get used to it after a while though. And there isn't any music being played, maybe just 2 songs but it's really short. That is why I gave it a bad score.

Other than that, the actors did a really great job portraying their characters.
