“Frankly, if you give this one a miss, your world wonu0026#39;t end. The thing with this movie is that it has a good premise, but due to some odd pacing, script and character development issues, and some thrown in and disposable themes, it doesnu0026#39;t quite seem to hit the mark. Also, it just tries too hard.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll this is not to say that there isnu0026#39;t anything good about the movie. The direction was fine, the acting and casting were easily the strongest parts of the film, and it didnu0026#39;t feel overlong or overshort. However, these are technical merits that one should really expect from a modern movie, especially a South Korean one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie doesnu0026#39;t quite seem to know what kind of film it wants to be until the end so if you have a bit of patience and curiosity, it may be worth a look, but donu0026#39;t expect too much beyond average.”
