Viewing Notes

Took a chance on this as I normally do for all new S.Korean releases. Disappointing experience. This really feels like a K-drama compressed and adapted for a feature film. Wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. Just tries to do a lot with several storylines interweaved and yet feels small like a TV series. Just didn’t connect. Not a bad movie but a very by the numbers production.
