Viewing Notes
Looks like I need to update TMDb with some actors!
One of the best new movies I’ve seen this year. Definite top 5 material. Probably good that I had no expectations nor knew anything about this movie going into it. Seriously star-studded casting with all actors turning in excellent performances. Jeon Ji-hyeon (portraying two characters) and Ha Jeong-woo (Hawaii Pistol) are particularly great especially together. Would love to see further adventures with them teamed up along with Buddy (Oh Dal-soo).
Intricately weaved plot that ties all the storylines together effortless in the 2+ hour opus that is paced so well you don’t acknowledge the length only hoping it doesn’t end. If I can find the time I will probably see it again assuming it gets unlocked from Moviepass (recently the Korean films haven’t been enabled for moviepass for some reason until late in their run).
