Competently made film that is engaging enough. Fairly slow burn as tale unfolded and there was some frustration as I knew where it was going and it was taking too long. And then it didn't go there. Where it then began to go was into a very dark area. The youth and his fiancé and her brother are together one way or another from the beginning but the relationship changes and this gets very dark. Unfortunately the style remains the same, indeed this lacks any sort of style at all. Presumably, intentionally, the director presents everything in a very matter of fact way and so we are confronted directly with the protagonists' actions. There is no filter, no element of artifice or artistry and somehow it does not seem enough. This should probably have developed into a black comedy or been presented a la Tarantino with perhaps style over substance. As it is it is something rather unusual in cinema. It is to be taken at face value and leaves us feeling something is missing. Amaze me, thrill me, make me laugh. No sorry.

Amaze me, thrill me, make me laugh. No sorry.
Fairly Average
Min-soo (Beom-soo Jeon) was just a typical guy who was struggling through life until he taps into his evil side.
This film has an usual story line where the main character is facing financial troubles. So he started to do illegal things to augment his income but eventually started to like his life of crime. So there is nothing new in the script grab the attention of the audience. Casting was not exceptional either. The average performance of the lead characters made the scenes somewhat monotonous.
Not recommended. It is certainly not a must watch film but it would be a good choice to fill up a lazy afternoon.
