After losing his job at a scrap metal yard, Kyu-Nam (Ko Su) finds a new job at a small pawn shop named Utopia. He is immediately drawn to the family atmosphere at Utopia, working with his new boss Jung-Sik (Byeon Hie-Bong) and boss's daughter Young-Sook (Jung Eun-Chae). Unfortunately for Kyu-Nam, his moment of happiness will only be fleeting. Cho-In (Gang Dong-Won) lived through a brutal childhood. He has had to use a prosthetic leg since an early age, grew up with an abusive father and lived with a mother who at one point attempted to kill her own son out of despair. Cho-In also possesses an awe-inspiring supernatural gift. Cho-In can control other people's minds when they are within his field of sight. One fateful day, Cho-In walks into the Utopia pawn shop to steal whatever money exists in the safe. Not expecting much resistance, Cho-In is surprised to find one man at the Utopia pawn shop is able to break free from his mind control abilities. That man is Kyu-Nam. Cho-In then resorts to killing the owner of pawn shop to make his escape. All of this is captured on CCTV. An epic battle will soon occur between these two people with supernatural abilities and nothing to lose.

    I rly liked this movie. I love nething that is paranormal/supernatural. This to me is kinda like the movie w/ Bruce Willis & Samuel L Jackson "Unbreakable." The end was a little off, but I can deal w/ it b/c that is how the movie ended. I was rly surprised that they actually had non-Korean actors that could speak the language fluently & act at the same time. Most non-native speakers r thinking too much about the words that something is lost in the acting. One of my only probs w/ Kdrama/Jdrama/etc. is that not a single person knows how to give CPR or do basic wound care/. But I guess that is my own hang up b/c I work in the health field & have read more

    This movie had potential...but while it wasn't a bad movie, it failed to live up to it's potential in my eyes. It didn't explain why anything really happened, and the last 5 minutes left me scratching my head. Other than that, i LOVED the use of foreigners speaking perfect Korean as the two side characters. The music conveyed the mood perfectly. As for rewatch value, it's an alright movie to rewatch. Overall this movie is getting an 8, mainly because i felt like it didnt explain a lot of stuff.

    During the whole movie I was rooting for the psychic guy (Dong Woo ) and it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a huge a fan of the actor ...ok maybe a little XD . I think everything that happened was mainly Gyoo Nam's fault , he kept interfering and corning the physic guy who in my opinion wasn't truly evil . If he didn't interfere the guy would have kept on peacefully living while stealing little amounts of cash without hurting anybody .I think the scriptwriter wanted to convey the same idea especially with the scene in which Dong Woo goes back to his apartment and finds the cops , his expression when he was taking those little building models and that little guy (it represents his happy self and who he wants to be ) was really moving and sad . I really hoped for a better ending , but well I still enjoyed the movie ^_^

      I found myself siding with the psychic guy too. This is the first film i have seen Dong Woo acting, so im not influenced in the least to side with him but i felt sad for his character. So i agree with you 100%. I also thought the actor played the role to the fullest and just really made this a great movie(in my opinion).
