"Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live." - Robert Kennedy This is a tale of two broken people trying to hold it together in two different ways. I thought I wouldn't be able to watch this because of all the violence (especially the unnecessary amount against women) but I found myself unable to take my eyes off the screen. Yes, some scenes were hard to watch, but for once it didn't feel entirely gratuitous. We're constantly, brutally reminded of how both the main characters lead their lives and deal with what comes. This movie won't give you much of a break, and I wouldn't be surprised if it left you feeling slightly drained afterwards. It's somewhat of an emotional roller-coaster. You'll be grimacing, crying and laughing, all within the space of a few minutes. -- Characters Sang Hoon is the gangster you hate to love. His actions (and profanity used in almost every sentence) show you that time and time again, this dude is not a good person. He's pretty indiscriminate when it comes to who he hits. Hitting is all he knows. But violence begets violence. Despite all this, you'll sympathize with him. Yang Ik an amazing job portraying his character. He really outdid himself. I don't have enough words to give this man the praise he deserves for his role here. I was honestly rooting for his character after a while and THAT shocked me. Yeon Hee is the high school student who strikes up a very unlikely friendship with Sang Hoon. She's a character you'll have no trouble feeling sorry for. She gives as good as she gets when it comes to profanity matches between her and Sang Hoon. The chemistry between these two is pretty great, it felt extremely natural for them to suddenly strike up a bond. Kim Kkobi's acting made me feel so tense every time she walked through that damn door to her characters house. Every emotion she felt, I felt. I really can't think of any actress that could have suited the role more. -- Soundtrack The music was very subtle, which suited the movie perfectly. It wasn't outstanding, but this kind of movie doesn't need heavy background music. -- Rewatch I would watch this again if I felt seriously masochistic. This is one of those movies that you watch once and it has an impact on you forever. And even though watching it again would feel like a daunting task for my emotions, I could see myself doing it anyway. -- Overall I heard that some people thought this movie had a slow build, and I guess it sort of does, but I never once felt like it outstayed its welcome. Once again though, it's filled with dark themes and unsettling imagery. And that doesn't stop. So if that kind of thing makes you extremely uncomfortable, this isn't for you. But it'll make you wonder about the vicious circle of violence. Where does it end? This movie touched me more than I thought it would, and I hope it has the same effect on you.
