I’ve always heard about this movie from Korean shows, American reviewers. Everyone had rave reviews on this but I never got around to watching it till finally I saw a review from one of my favourite YouTuber reviewing and comparing the American remake. He talked about how the remake didn’t do the movie justice at all and showed a bit of the beginning and that was it. That was what pushed me to finally watch the movie.

As I was watching it, I had some notes on it and was planning to rate it a 8.5/9 at the 1 hour mark or so. Because I thought the romance was too forced. But I didn’t let it bother me too much and went on. It kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time trying to figure out the reason for the whole thing. After the whole secrets were revealed, I had decided this is one of my favourite movies ever. The way the gore and sex weren’t just put in without meaning but actually had a reason for them. The whole story was so messed up that I don’t think I can forget it even if I tried. But the way the whole thing was told and shot so well made it so I loved it so much.

This was my first time watching Choi min shik act and I gotta say he killed it, same with Yoo Ji Tae.

I’ve heard the music so much that it’s alee iconic to me. The music accompanied the scenes so well.
I don’t think I want to rewatch this since it won’t have the same suspense. But I would want to watch it again someday to see if there’s anything I missed.

This is actually my first review so I hope I didn’t mess it up too much.
