Review:

I did not enjoy a single second watching this movie! don’t kill me but I have no idea why this was so popular? That’s all I can write right now or being more practical that’s all worth writing about it!
You have no idea how many times I heard people asking me if I have watched this movie! and I’m talking recently!
I think there are so many other good movies out there but why this? Or maybe I have a long way to go getting a grasp of Korean culture!

Review:

I personally just adored this movie. It had a unique style, so colorful, and full of beautiful shots. The only drawback was the ending which lacked the creativity, but the amazing intro cancels that out of course. It sounded like a sudden rush toward the end but other than that I was on the edge of my seat biting my nails the whole time.  It indeed was a flawless movie for the most part and I loved the interesting usage of symbols, I alwasy do.
The actions parts thank God was modified so not much splashed blood, moaning and crawls of the victims were shown!
Watching this movie recalled me of my initial interest to the Korean Entertainment Industry
