sorry but i don't get anyone giving this a high rating - to each their own of course, but watching this i didn't find anything likeable in Jun - who is the MC. his attitude is reckless not rebellious, and we taking an adult here, not a teen - so rebellious really? against whom?!? his dead father or meek browbeaten mother?!? or the worse - a loving understanding partner that didn't and doesn't deserved what he got, in return for his love or trust.... so nah this not worthy of 5 stars, let alone 7 or more

if this was supposed to serve as a cautionary tale, to everyone not using condoms then good - cause the "i like to feel closer..." argument is moronic - closer to death more like - even though as the nurse pointed out, with medication nowadays u can control the disease and live a normal life - but lets face facts, if u sick no matter what u have once u have to live with it for life, it wont stay the same - it morphs and effects every aspect of ur life - let alone when u consumed medication regularly its side effects (that r usually warnings) take effect after a decade or two - that's unavoidable - so "normal" is subjective....

also i really felt sorry for the mother, who is not a mean - bad person that deserves her son disregard and disrespect - he staying with her and treating their house like a love-motel and i don't care what ur sexual orientation is, if ur not married and u bring every tom, dick and harry back to ur home to shag while ur parent's in the other room, that's down right disrespectful and deserving of u getting kicked out, let alone getting a scolding. but she did neither - just kept quite and suffered in silence, no matter what her son did. and she the bad guy?

but Jun's logic is off as he the one who went to meet his ex and then brought home trouble, making a show out of the whole family from the neighbor's to talk about (any Asian's worse nightmare), and if that's not enough he gets mad at the mother and runs off - even after the test he doesn't think it's right to contact his new bf - here Michel the one running around looking for this spoilt ass - why? heck Michel was a better son to Jun's mom then Jun and he understanding on top of it all, considering he also infected?!? this was sad, not sweet or lovely. Jun is selfish and undeserving of Michel's love.

he might hate his dead father but he off the same mold, and the mother had to suffer one when he was alive- now she got another version to take care off in her old age - donno this was kinda depressing and still can't get all the positive reviews regarding this movie.

the only positive i found - dude playing Michel - hella good looking - and i guess the acting was good. so one off

ironically i watched this cause of a comment by Synchonicity - whose recommendation did wonders for this movie (it got me to waste my time) something the movie itself couldn't do - as this is Bad - like everything - acting - plot - editing.... is bad. watching this it felt like Andy Wang (whom i don't know from Adam) was throwing himself a party - rich spoilt dude thats being funded by his parents, who have spoilt him rotten and his new "toy" is not only acting, but making a movie - it was the 'Andy Wang show' from start to finish - he was the writer, director, maybe editor and of course staring - so little wonder we got what we got.

the plot wasn't that unique - tried and true rich kid that's got a gf, but in the closet or didn't even know he was gay, until the new kid comes along and entices him out - he ditches the gf for a bf and as the gf can't get over the loss, she starts plotting ways to break the couple apart and get back with the ML. of course need drama and a heartbreaking moment of conflict, so add the sick dying parent whos hell bent on grandkids, even though her kid is still studying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯

and it would've been another ok BL-movie if the acting was good - it wasn't(!) You Xi is a condensing ass from start to finish, he got one emotion going - looking down on EVERYONE as if he doing them a favor for gracing them with his presence. that's how he treats everyone, so if there were emotion's of attraction, interest conveyed by him i blinked and missed it - i guess. but all the other actors didn't do a better job either - heck donno who did the casting (guess Andy Wang) cause even the side and back ground character's didn't seem logical - its like there were kids - children and adults not only teens, that were all mixed up and nothing looked or felt logical - so a train wreak it was - the end scene was freakin hilarious and pretty sure it wasn't meant to be - but we had to get out the sprinklers, so all 3 moron's could stand in the "rain" and add to the water-works as they each be posing and crying Aish plz, i couldn't for the life of me take that serious

what's left to say - if ur bored and looking for a laugh - which will admit there aren't many (laughs) cause You Xi narcissistic attitude aint charming or fun to watch - heck the only other hilarious scene was when his ex-gf slapped him. the way he reacted, it felt like in his life he has never gotten slapped and it looked like he was seriously contemplating punching her (how dare a peasant touch him lol) , but remembered the cameras (¬‿¬)(¬_¬ )

this is a surreal mind-trip that i have to say, donno if i figured out right - as until the last moment it kept me guessing, if the conclusions i came too were right or i needed medication to "get" this movie.

ironically a while back wanted to watch this cause of the loft scene, though this was the original, to a remake i saw (The Loft 2014) made in the US. and watching this - it so isn't! it might have started out similar with the paranoid Hyun Woo, wiping down his loft that had evidence of bloody violence's on him and in that place - getting ride of evidence while the cops were at his door - but that's about it.. everything else goes off the deep end and u always wondering "is this really happening" or is everything in Hyun Woo's mind. slowly started to wonder if the original gf he couldn't get over - did she exist? did Jun Hyuk, who seemed to disappear into thin air never to be heard of again (well his body - idk just confused)¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this is ok for a one off and nobody does crazy better then Jang Hyuk - so acting was stop on by the lot. i could care less about the erotica / nudity / sex-scenes as the psychological mind-f*ck was enough to not make it even register. plus it went to further Min Suk's character and justify Su Yeon's action (which aint justifiable, but the whole group was just messed-up. and there was no real backstory offered, to explain everyone psychosis - so left confused).

lets start with the bad - and there a lot here - yeah the actors r newbies and inexperienced, but seems so is the director - writer, production etc... cause its not only the bad acting and directing - even the "plot" isn't smooth or coherent. sometimes it just felt like "we" r jumping from one scene to the next and u gotta use ur imagination as to how it fits - sometimes its logical - others not so much. and have to add maybe the subs also were done by google translate, as they didn't help easy the viewing or understanding of this ..

also getting scene after scene of topless, toned bodies without rhyme or reason (with tons of "boob" close-ups), makes me cringe considering the age of these actors, words like exploitation come to mind - like a flashing warning sign - given both these young actors no matter how good looking, haven't been in other movies or dramas (well that were noted on this site). but and *plus point here, in-spite of the amount of naked skin we got to view (thank-god) there was a lack of intimate scenes. i.e - it was clear that even when they were kissing of consummating's their love, it was sexless. and i for one am thankful - rather this then see two teens force themselves into situations they not comfortable portraying.

plot wise like mentioned it wasn't smooth, but if u ignore the majority of glitches and focus on the relationship between the guys, from the sec Chai walks into that messy room he gonna share with Aek - he is infatuated. and that's more or less how this whole story goes - Chai loves more and gives more and Aek the typical partner that loves less, takes and takes without a second thought. until Chai gets attacked and that's his turning point - its cute how the get close. but why they part is a mystery to me - cause they graduating? would think if u really loved someone u would find a way to be together - but that scene where they part, was like it was a given that when they finish their schooling their relationship will also come to an end.

their meeting where Aek is in a relationship and moved on, while Chai is alone and still yearning for his first love is indicative of their personality - same with Aek having no problem trying to "get close" to Chai, while his gf is next to him - to me it seemed more lust then love and that's why i got Chai decision to be the bigger person and walk away. i would've preferred he leave that wallet on the bed with his letter cause the dude not only needs to move on. he needs to stop yearning for something and someone that can't give him what he needs. so to me this was a good conclusion to a so so plot - a one off

this was really good(!!!) but talk about a crazy ride - from start to finish, i was on the edge of my seat, screaming at the screen and biting my nails Aish my heart - kinda knew it would be frustrating, cause in normal times most people don't have the patience or humanity to try and understand, let alone help people who r handicapped - so was sure i would go out of my mind cause of the "normies" insensitivity and lack of compassion or comprehension - wasn't wrong on either account. that's more or less why the cops in the first scene kept glossing over the hearing impaired females and always turned first to the "normal" male - maybe there was a tad of sexsisim also involved, but as the main issue was a deaf persons worse nightmare - guess i focused on that bit.

great acting by all - even the by the psychopath (seen my fair share of psycho's on screen) and this is the first one, that u could literally see that he was enjoying the hunt - is was fascinating and scary to watch.
loved the mother daughter bond/relationship - touched my heart how the mother didn't care about anything but her child, and same with the daughter (and yeah its logical) and yet seeing it in action was really heartwarming. it emphasized the evil in Do Shik, as the lack of humanity in him emphasized the warmth in Kyung Mi and her mother.

Jong Tak was an ironic character cause of his profession and the choice he had to make - it was understandable and yet it didn't paint him in a great light - cause Kyung Mi had the same choice not once but twice, and she always chose to help. that's also what i loved about this movie, cause u saw how flawed we all r - just cause every body part is in working order doesn't mean we r perfect as seen in the scene where Kyung Mi in the midst of a crowd could get help.... sad reality but great movie for sure a rewatch!

well this was "interesting" as in Not my cup of tea - and i like movies involving psycho's. Hasumi was a true psychopath, nothing endearing or redeeming about his character. maybe cause of that, didn't like this one bit - the cop's as per usual r not only slow, but stupid and cause of that he basically gets away with a massacre - and i aint only talking about the recent events (that go down in that school), but throughout his life, dude just went about his way - exterminating people for the fun of it, and not one person caught on?!? really dark and depressing outlook in this movie -

reading the description u think Hasumi is justified in a morbid sort of way, preventing bulling and helping the weak, while bring justice to the "evil"- psssh so freakin far from the truth - dude is Nuts that's the bottom line. (as there a drama that's a prequel to this, was wondering if i needed to watch that, so will have some back-story. now gonna forgo the "pleasure" as i seriously don't need to watch anything where the bad-guy gets away with murder - considering who Hasumi is, there is no justification). if anything this was sad(!) the kids were just that kids, acting stupid and childish and even the bulling was negligible considering things i've seen - and if there were student's really being "messed with" it was by the faculty - i.e adults and Hasumi just took advantage of the situation's, he came upon to further feed his own needs for suffering and blood.

the last massacre was a megalomaniac thinking he could get away with murder, as he had his patsy set-up (and the curious student following Miya up too the roof botched his plans for that passing as a suicide). so in for a penny in for a pond - he just wanted to up his death count, as he needed to move on to a new kill arear - this was basically a slasher movie - killing for the sake and joy of it. so not for me

kinda shocked reading the negative reviews for this, cause i Loved it(!), considering the ton of BL themed dramas and movies (from Thailand) i've watched - this is up there with a good ones... the acting was stellar, the plot was interesting not cliché-y. its a coming of age and coming to terms with being gay, or rather growing up in general - i for one loved this -

Chimon (who have to admit even if i've watched any of his dramas, i can't remember) but here he / his acting for-sure made one heck off an impression - loved how geeky he was and how the sec he took of the glasses (and yeah that whole scene was a bit farfetched considering what a meek personality Nack had in general - he couldn't stand-up to bullies or anyone in that school. but some random man trying to rob a kid - that screams violent criminal - he stands-up too?!? meeh) but had to get those glasses off lol, so we (well) his love interests would finally "notice" him -

this was far from perfect and i Really would love it if the director's of these BL's would just Stop(!!!) with the sexually exploitative shots of these young actors - the close-up - slooooow shot from top to bottom focusing on sexual organs or butts, and they in nothing but speedos - like we stuck in a 1960 bad-porno ugh plz - like i know sex sells. but it just turns my stomach when i see this shit - don't care if the target is female or male - we in freakin 2021, enough already!

other then Nack, loved his homies - they such a cute pure hearted bunch - true friends. a bit miss-guided at times, but at least their heart was in the right place and when they were needed, they came through. this whole movie was kind of a roller costar ride - started off normal teens, some bullies, some friends but wholesome in general - then almost turned tragic...

what i didn't get was Pong, why he and the other effeminate gays were such b*tches towards Nack?!? and them saying "oh he's gay, but hiding it..." - like WTAF is that a reason to target the dude - and really didn't get Pong (well hated the little f*cker) he kept stalking Nack and if that wasn't enough, he kept lying to others about him and putting him in hot water - even causing a bullying and beat down incident - like why? what, just cause? i really didn't get his motivation - there were so many others in that class, why target a quite guy that was so focused on his studies (cause he could afford a tutor or to fail to get into a community collage with bad scores) cause he knew how poor they were - its just being mean cause u can -

other thing, seeing the poster one would think there some love triangle here - there isn't(!) Petch was a good-looking d*ckhead and a douche, that wanted to use Nack to release sexual tension, cause he couldn't get with his gf (who went to school not far from them) like plz. Nack may have been tempted, but he knew better then to let a douche use him - plus the sec he backed off Pong came in to "steal" his guy, which back-fired cause as Petch said himself "he aint gay" and he for-sure wouldn't be taking Pong out, as if they a couple - he used him and took what was offered but that's about it - so Pong got his - even though dude didn't learn ugh whatever..

Toy on the other hand for sure was interested in Nack and if no-one intervened they might have developed into something - but in comes Nack's mother, a neurotic, crazed bible-thumper that seeing her son (just) sleeping on the same bed with his buddy, asks him the day after "if he gay or a lady boy, and if he had sex with that man he was sleeping with.." like talk about traumatizing ur own child - let alone coming to absurd conclusion, as if they were sleeping in the buff - it was so sweet and innocent, but i guess u see what u want - and her attitude let alone her calling Toy to tell him that her son was "obsessed with him, so as he aint gay - was he?!? he should stay away from Nack,,," - like plz how could a person be this evil?!? she basically shamed and scared both boys into the closet and now even if they were peaking out - after her, it will take therapy to even contemplate who they really r - well that's the case with Toy.

Nack in despair not knowing why Toy was suddenly ghosting him, decides he had enough - but lucky his friends show-up (cause Toy still has a conscience - even if he scared to admit his true feelings and rather push Nack away) he cared enough to call them and inform them they should check-up on Nack.
then Nack is left to pick up the pieces of his heart and just focus on the normal stuff and get on with his life - no happiness or perfection - just life.. his seeing Toy after a yr with a "beard" doesn't help his heart - but given what his mother did, not shocking - Nack on the other hand should've kept his distance and not taken the hand offered in friendship from Toy, cause that would be rubbing salt in an open wound, which in-spite a yr passing hadn't even begun to heal - it would take a lot of work for him to move forward let alone be ready to find love and be true to himself in-spite of that harpy of a mother - this was a very realistic movie and i loved it

what an emotional roller coaster

this movie is slow-spaced and yet not a boring moment. usually watching anything i tend to like or root for some character's and dislike others, when its a couple more so. u see and like one's actions/personality and tend to see the faults in the other's making u dislike them all the more. here weirdly i didn't root for one or the other - it was made very humane, that even the flaws were understandable and invoked sympathy by the end ...

the most ironic part for me was the use of black and white and the ignition of color and the symbolism behind its meaning - cause of how immersed i was in Po Wing and Yiu Fai's relationship it took me a while before i noticed the lack of color - this was that good (and that's saying something considering the version i saw, subs were all over the place and some of the time i was guessing at what was going on and what some scenes meant ) yet i was captivated from start to finish.

harder to like or "get" Po Wing i was confused by his motivation, why the push and pull - why drive the person u love bonkers by pulling them in and then pushing them away brutally, driving them crazy only to come back to repeat the scenario all over again. it was as if he was unraveling and at times trying to drag Yiu Fai down with him -

Yiu Fai was a much more stable character, even when he was alone he had an objective going back home and he would work himself to the bone to achieve that goal - he knew Po Wing was bad for him but he couldn't help himself (i guess that when the heart is involved u lead with it, instead of ur head) more so here in this toxic relationship. and yet no matter how hard he tried he could never really push Po Wing away or keep him - when Po Wing wanted out - so i personally was glad that when he took Po Wing back for the last time he kept him at arms length - no matter how much he cared for him literally he didn't sleep with him - which sadly didn't mean he wasn't as lost when Po Wing had enough and bailed - but he found it in himself to finally give up and take on more jobs to go back home..

Chang Wan i feel like was a much needed "breathing space" (ironic to call a person that) but even though he wasn't gay his coming into Yiu Fai life, another fellow that was all alone in a foreign country - they bonded cause the spoke the same language and were strangers in that land - and suddenly Yiu Fai didn't only have Po Wing. he didn't lean in Chang Wan - they were good friends at most. but the fact that he had this normal comparison, i feel like it helped him understand that he needed to stop going back / taking back Po Wing time and again and put his all into going back home and fixing his own life. that he couldn't subconsciously wait around for someone who would never really stick by him.

doesn't mean i didn't feel bad for Po Wing who came back as per his MO only to find that this time Yiu Fai wasn't sitting around waiting there for him, happy to pick up the pieces and give him a safe haven where he could rest, feeling loved and getting taken care of, for however long he needed, until he had enough - that's why the ending kinda blindsided me as i wanted to know what happens to all involved, Yiu Fai goes back but he visits Chang Wan's family's shop - Chang Wan at the other end of the world has had enough of traveling thinking of Fai wants to go back home - and then there is sad broken Po Wing who is left all alone in Argentina - so this time this open ended was a major bummer as i needed more ... for sure a rewatch

a good coming off age/out of the closet movie, but freakin depressing - first off the bullying aint for the faint of heart. also didn't get why Gi Woong who was friends with Yong Joo and Gi Taek, not only distanced himself, but turned into this bitter delinquent. it takes more the half the movie to show u what went down and why he changed. plus found it ironic that he and his new crew of bullies, worked for a thug "disciplining" - well threatening/beating-down other bullies for pay, to stay away from kids they were bulling - ironic cycle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

there were bittersweet parts like Yong Joo still trying to communicate with his friend - and i get that some of the motivation was his infatuation - given some scenes it was mutual (before Gi Woong went through the transformation" = normal kid to thug). even his closeted friendship with a gay kid from another school, that he met through a gay-app, was sweet and heartening - that he at least had one friend he could be "himself" with.
also the scenes with his mother, who was more like a friend was a balm to the soul, compared to what was to come... loved how accepting she was and his coming out without actually doing so, and her blind acceptance of him - did the soul good.

the rest - not shocking to guess, as its more or less written in the description - Gi Taek the geek is the typical victim turned bad-guy, who the sec sees a way to get from oppressed to oppressor, he takes it throwing his bff to the wolves, quite brutally and literally - this was sad and distressing in many ways
seen comments that this a good ending and i guess the mains finally being there for each other, showing solidarity is positive but considering what goes down before the end - still Gi Woong has to "pay" for his crimes. and what will Yong Joo do while he is serving his sentence? go to the same school with the guys that brutalized him?!? so this open end wasn't satisfying. still good movie

well this was different to say the least. donno where to start. hated Ki-hoon and Ga-hee, usually don't hate character's who r cheaters. but hated that they were so self involved they didn't give and f*ck who they hurt, and it was obvious by Ga-hee's showing up at Soo-hyun's recital with flowers, she wanted to "twist the knife" to make it clear to Soo-hyun she was f*cking her husband. which was vomit inducing... but the more u find out (towards the end) u get why this is a whole new level of f*cked-up.

found and clicked on this cause of Han Seok Kyu - the beloved Master Kim from Romantic Doctor, his character is vastly different here - shockingly so... but guess he aint a "one trick pony". which, good for him. but this was to "raw" for me... hated the Detective character, he was a major f*cke-head, all the macho B.S. was/is annoying and not mildly endearing, so found the trunk scene hilarious (yeah evil i know), even though it turned out so gory... i smiled through every bit. usually don't care or "get" the bad ending cheaters get, but this one was justly deserved. and i really relished every bit of it. even if, after u know the whole story it may make u rethink things. i was OK with the outcome.

the only annoying bit, don't get why the wife of the murder victim walks free, when she isn't innocent?!? her husband wasn't abusive or a pervert pedo that deserved being put to death, the way he was. so that was a brow-raising moment. especially if there was justice meted out to one couple, why did she get off scot-free?!?

can't rate it - good acting but tough subject

watched a few movies about "cleaners" but usually the plot line is criminal - as in someone uses them to cover up a murder, or force them into cleaning up a crime scene and get rid of evidence, then they have to find a way out of the mess - alive etc... more action and thriller then drama - here its a totally different vibe - more depressing. as it basically deals with loneliness.

its sad, but this is the new reality, cause a lot of people (world-wide) rather live alone. yeah there r a load of old-folks homes and assisted living residences, but majority of people want to keep their independence and live a "normal" life - in a house that's got history. so this was an interesting take on this issue - guess its also to open the eyes of the general populace - considering there was a lot of info about communicating and reaching out to family member's, and people in general - and the fact that most of the old-folks were totally alone - almost abandoned was an indicator that people r so involved in their own lives, that they forget that reaching out to their parents or an elderly neighbor, is important and a life saver. let alone that they would be found earlier when the time comes, then rot for months on end

on the other hand we have the cleaner Oikawa, who cause of his job is questioning his choices in life - or regretting them - or was it desperately trying to correct them? u can debate who is right/wrong - even understand his choices, as a lot of people - when young don't think about their actions and r too focused on something they deem important, and think that something like children or family is something that is always around. so it can be put to the side and dealt with later - like with his daughter, cause of his wife getting custody he just assumed when she by law turned into an adult, he would then reach-out and be her father - life and people don't work like that - and that's why this was left open.. cause will his daughter show-up? and forgive him abandoning her?
like with Muramatsu - will his son come with his family to celebrate the festival with his father - or will he continue to exist in a void - bottom line a sad movie

agree with most of the commenters, this is a much better movie (story wise, heck even the violence was toned down and what there was of it, wasn't slasher-movie equivalent) then the first "The Divine Move" with Jeong Woo Seong, here cause of the back-story. and when u "use" kids, poverty, add in physical and sexual violence. how can u not identify and root for the main character?!?

but have to say a description like the one above is miss leading - cause it makes one think Heo Il Do was some kinda saint, that took in a homeless orphan boy off the streets and out of the kindness of his heart taught him not only Go, but how to survive in this world... which nah - not even close.

the side story, with Loner was redundant, as is there was more than enough meat here without that unnecessary add-on. why they had to add his story. donno. plus his wanting to take revenge on Heo Il Do - acceptable, but why Gwi Soo?!? he as a kid and when Loner watched them, didnt he get that Gwi Soo was against duping his father and wanted to return the money? guess after watching his father go up in flames he got kind twisted. but his killing that poor store-keeper just cause he was around was illogical. unless he is so unhinged and on a rampage - killing anyone and everyone who plays "Go" - if so, why aint he a notorious serial-Goplayer- killer and wanted by the cops?!? just doesn't click.- even his death scene was left open... was wondering if he gonna pop-up at the end or after everything ended... just weird.

plus - and a huge one (for me) thank god there was no romantic B.S. it wasn't needed and given the tone of the movie is would feel strange. so glad. the other plus was that the kid survived. didn't want this to be the typical K-movie ending where its either left open to ones interpretation or u cry ugly tears, cause they kill off the lead.

enjoyed this as much as i did the first one, not as funny but wasn't boring, the plot was different and good. wondered why Dae ma's childhood friend and Tae Soo's partner from the previous movie weren't around...

Lee Kwang Soo as Hopper was a nice addition, didnt add much to the hilarity, but was fun all the same, and enjoyed his part in this movie.

Dae Man's wife was as annoying as the first movie, and that's saying something given there was a lot less of her. even the part where her kid almost gets kidnapped was more on her, and her childish games then on Dae Man. same with the physical abuse - who finds this sh*t funny in this day and age?!? cause i didn't/don't.

anyway the main story was good, just wondered where the adoptive daughter of "venom" went - was she also captured or she disappear?!? cause didn't see her being taken in by the cops at the end. was this intentional or i miss her?!?

i haven't fallen for a ML so fast as i fell for Kang Dae Man, he was so sweet, funny and big hearted - can't help but love him. he is the best friend everybody wished they had, no matter how many obstacle were put in front of him by his wife and Noh Tae Soo, he kept "fighting" just to help out his friend. and yeah he was totally enjoying playing Detective, but that only added to how hyped he was, at doing the "job" well.

the wives were brutal, all the hitting was really annoying, get it was to add to the element of comedy, but i for one didn't find it funny, let alone hilarious. even the verbal abuse was overdone and pissed me off. Lee Mi Ok - Dae Man's wife even hit her son on the head a few times and i saw red. this sh*t slapstick comedy had it hay-day in the early 1800's time to move into the present, where hitting people aint freaking funny - but retarded.

but ignoring the females (which without the violence, u get where they r coming from, as they r worried about supporting and feeding their families. and as working women they want their hubby to do their share around the house - acceptable. but being a mega maniacal, sadistic b*tch isn't the way to go), this was a great movie, very very funny and not a boring moment.
once Detective Noh Tae Soo loosened-up and accepted Dae Man's help - it got way better, the bickering wasn't a deterrent as it added spice to their relationship. totally gonna add to my re-watch list.

seriously.... skipped quite a few good movies cause i read comments that indicated the need for countless tissues boxes to be at the ready. this one had few "warning" about it being sad, but OMG - broke my heart. why can't a korean comedy be just that -Aish!

anyway yeah great movie, freaking moved me to tears how sad these kids had it, and then that ending and that old lady just finished me off.

i feel the message at the end was written by Seo Soo Hyuk [NIS team leader], pretty sure no one can survive being shot and then falling from a freakin tall-ass building (especially as Dong Gu was the one who took all the impact), Dong Gu was pretty kickass but all the training in the world doesn't make him indestructible.

*slept on it and i think the one that survived was Lee Hae Jin, as he was wearing protective-gear which could've included a bulletproof vest, and as Ryu Hwan / Dong Gu took the majority of the impact from the fall - maybe - just maybe there is a way he survived. and given Dong Gu's words before the shoot-out and his clutching the bank-book, Hae Jin knew he was referring to going back to his present life with Jun Son Rim (the old lady who treated him like a son and cared for him)... just a thought.
