Needed to be Longer

I loved the 2 ML's big-brother, little-brother dynamic, but because of the limited runtime, the relationship and character growth felt rushed and unrealistic. And after such a jarring climax, to not let the two meet face to face on screen again was a big let down for me.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie when the two ML's were on screen together, but the rest involved a lot of skipping. This needed to be drama length to truly explore the characters and let them realize the growth they needed.

Content warning: Hinted animal abuse, moderate child abuse, and strong violence and language. Fully deserves its 18+ rating, and would be rated R in America.

This movie is no doubt a great thriller. It gets your heart pumping and your palms sweating. This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. So why didn't I give it a higher rating? The plot and cast did a great job of delivering a supernatural, crime story, but there where multiple parts where I found myself confused because of the behavior of the characters or unanswered questions.

Plot~
Overall I loved the plot! If I had to rate the beginning I would give it a 10. My rating only started to drop once they introduced certain people, and certain events happened. By the end my score was a 7-7.5. The ending felt unsatisfying. There were certain characters introduced earlier on that just disappeared. We have no idea what happened to them. The only person we see at the ending is 1 of the main characters. Basically other than him we have no idea what happened to every one else. They left a lot of things up in the air. This is the part that bothered me.


Characters~
Kim Kang Woo did a great job portraying his character, but sometimes I wanted to smack the crap out of him. For a cop he lacked common sense. Some of the things he did were questionable, and at certain times I was sure he idiot. He lets his emotions drive him a LOT, and for a man who has been a cop for years, that made me wonder. How has he survived this long? Kim Bum looked very dark, and very cute in his role! The only complaint I had is that for a guy who's always bleeding and coughing up blood he never goes to the hospital. The other characters such as the other detectives, and Kang Woo's superiors got on my nerves. They didn't act according to their job title, and they were always looking for ways to push the blame, and not accept responsibility. As first I thought they were relatable, but after a while I became confused. How can I relate to men that obviously don't know how to do their job? And who would go to these guys for help? All they care is about themselves!


Overall~
Would I re-watch this? No. It was good, but it was definitely a one-time watch. This is one of those movies where the suspense plays a big part. After you've watched it, it just doesn't have the same feeling.
Would I recommend this? Yes! It's a great movie, and I think anybody that enjoys thrillers or detective movies would agree that this is one of the best. I wish they had ended it better and given more detail but overall it was an enjoyable watch.

Let me start by saying I really did like this movie. That being said, it messed me up.

A friend of mine is completely obsessed with Kim Boem, so we wanted to watch a movie he was in and this was one of the two we could find online. I thought it sounded cool, she was a bit leery about it but like the sound of the other option even less, so we watched this.

She enjoyed it less than I did, and had to get up and leave briefly to walk off the intensity at several points (I wouldn't read too far into this- she does it a lot and over the smallest things). She found the plot disturbing and upsetting, as did I, and we both found Kim Boem's character to be, while well done, depressing.

Watching this at 2 in the morning was, perhaps, a mistake, as it left us to muffle our reactions so as not to wake anyone up. I got super worked up over it, and came back to my room to rant animatedly at my roommate about how upset the movie had made me. I'm not even concretely sure what about the movie worked me up like this, but I felt very strongly about it nonetheless.

I feel like this sounds very negative, which is not the case. I really liked this movie, but it was depressing and a bit upsetting. I would probably watch it again, but maybe not for a while.
