Frustrating!

The Story: The flow was good, it's a good thriller movie that makes you feel like you are the one getting chased. It keeps you on your toes. Although there are parts that made me exasperated because of the stupidity of almost all of the civilians or extra characters. In real life, the reactions of the civilians might not be possible at all.

Acting/Cast: The casts are superb, it's like the movie was tailored for the casts themselves. There are no parts were you feel like their emotions are lacking.

Music: I can't really remember any music being played during the movie. I don't know if it's because I'm too focused on the movie or if it's because the music isn't memorable at all.

Rewatch Value: Personally, I don't think I will watch this again. Movies like these are only good during the first time watching.

Overall: The movie is great, I get the frustration of the other viewers who reviewed and said it sucks because of the lack of realness when it comes to the reaction of the civilians but besides those, I still think this movie is worth to watch.

PS. I kinda don't like how it ended. It feels like the guy had an easy way out of what he did.

It's Good, But It Could've Been Better

There's not a lot of dystopian Korean shows or movies so I'm not expecting a lot but this one's just on par with my expectations; nothing more, nothing less.

Acting wise, there's nothing much I could say. It's Kim Woo Bin, just a punch from him could make the scene look a lot more thrilling than it actually is. I was excited when I saw Roh Yoonseo, it was a waste that she has a really minor role, but she's a key character so I understand. Others... they're good. Nothing much to comment about it, no cringey lines nor acting that would make you want to stop watching.

The only problem I have is the story. There are parts where they could've executed the scenes better, making the story more exciting and thrilling, so it's such a waste that some scenes weren't shown with its full potential. The first 5 episodes doesn't have something that would make your heart race in excitement, annoyance, or whatnot. It was plain, but not boring. The plot was a flat line until episode 6. It was good, nonetheless.

As I've mentioned, it's a good drama, but it could've been better. Hoping there would be more dystopian Korean series to come.
