I went in with no expectations and I came out satisfied. Overall this movie was above average at best.
The story was well written for the most part, at least in the beginning, and the acting complimented it a lot. The actors helped portray the scenes greatly. The actors are very attractive as well, especially the female protagonist, Hae Won. It was somewhat realistic and had the right amount of romance. I noticed there isn't a lot of music but when there was, it made the scenes so much better and was appropriate.
There are a few times in the movie where things either move too fast or too slow. I got me off guard sometimes at how some scenes escalate too quickly.
I didn't exactly like the ending but I didn't hate it. For these types of genres, you just got make of what the ending is. But for the story, I could see how this could work.

It is art indeed.

Stories like these can be disturbing but they just portray the dark aspects of this real world. I loved the movie. It had so much depth of thought. I was shook. I watched it at my prime sleep-hours and given the kind of person I am I can not continue watching boring shit during my prime sleep-time. This one kept me going. I wanted to know more. Even in the scenes in the beginning where the story had not unravelled, the acting, the emotions, the visuals kept me going. The characters are played so well that they made me curious about them, also the character sketches are intriguing in itself. The pacing is that way to suit the storytelling, to create the still dynamic and sudden turmoil inside you, it is perfect. It has layers of intent and heartfelt messages that it conveys. I loved the dialogues, her glares, his frustration and might. It was kind of nerve racking but beautiful at times. I don’t know why this movie has low ratings. I would highly recommend it to everyone (not kids). I have nothing but immense admiration and appreciation towards this movie.

Maybe it was the fact that I went in having no expectations but this movie, I just fell in love with it!!!
From the beginning it was mysterious. Kim Shi Hoo's character comes to a small town for some reason and it feels like he's running from something or his parents are hiding something so there's that whole arc. Because all the characters, you'll think you know them, you'll think you know what is going on but you'll turn out to be completely wrong! Kim Yoon Hae is a girl in Shi Hoo's class but she's always either sleeping in class or keeping to herself and naturally the other kids consider her a weirdo and some are even afraid of her and believe she possesses supernatural powers.

Anyway these two start bonding when despite all the rumors surrounding her Shi Hoo doesn't stop trying to be friends with her and even starts falling in love.

But then things go horribly horribly wrong.

I really like Shi Hoo but as an actor he's in some big name productions but Cutter and Lady Vengeance being g two of them. And I absolutely love Cutter but it always felt more like a Choi Tae Joon movie than a Shi hoo film because Choi tae joons character shows a lot of range, there's a really great story line.

But this is definitely a Shi Hoo and Yoon Hae film because both their characters are equally important and have proper story arcs .

I don't know I can't explain how that ending or the clinic scenes made me feel. You have to watch it to experience it.

I just thought that ending was beautiful.
