Comments

Ashiii Aug 07 2021 8:22 am For nameless the spoiler, thank you very much. Because of your comment I now understand the last part of the movie.

Kim Na Na Apr 08 2020 10:10 am The acting was great! Ju Ji Hoon is really charismatic with his acting. But if you don't like those type of genres then don't watch. I watched it because of JJH. But I need something that lightens my mood up now.

Laura Jan 01 2020 12:49 pm Great yet sad movie . Very emotional ,acting is superb ofcourse all 3 main cast are very much talented .

Akira Mar 16 2017 9:54 pm I enjoyed watching this movie! They are talented actors and the story was deep and unique. I would give a 7/10 rate, however, because some scenes are nearly impossible to happen:

SPOILERS

Min Soo's suicide: you can't suicide like that. In-Chul's death: how could nobody notice his wound and ask for help? It was an airport after all.

But, a part these, it's a really good movie!

Sahra Feb 06 2016 5:11 pm My favourite Ju Ji hoon love him so much

Meena Feb 06 2016 5:10 pm Ju Ji hoon is the best outstanding handsome excellent talented adorable versatile actor

Malak Nov 13 2015 1:28 pm I watched the movie, it is more emotional rather than crime.

I gave it 85%.

lavendie Nov 13 2015 11:35 am A really sad film but I knew from the get go it will be favored in film festivals. Great performance!

nameless Sep 05 2015 6:59 am Spoiler:

In-Chul was basically screwed over by his best friend (Hyun-Tae). Hyun-Tae misunderstood InChul, projecting his flaws onto him.

InChul only tried to help his best-friend's mom (by insurance fraud), Min-Soo (who accidentally hurt HyunTae's dad badly) and finally Hyun Tae (by making sure he got the arcade if not the millions for him and his family).

It's tragic because HyunTae never did realise the walkman wasn't taken by InChul and that InChul never thought of leaving them to die in the snow.

None Jul 28 2015 5:20 am A daebak movie i cry:'( lks really show his skills I always see him laughing in RM and now he was like a different person And ji sung play really good I love him in kill me hill me Can someone explain to me who killed ji hoon thanks

lyd Jun 02 2015 10:55 pm woah a very awesome daebak movie! at first i dont think LKS acting is great, but now i realize he's a very talented actor....

YANA Mar 16 2015 2:36 am Lee Kwang Soo Oppa is indeed serious in acting, I hope he will get recognized and will be lead in a drama. Oppa Fighting on Mutant! <3 Ji Sung oppa and Ji Hoon also did a great job :) Literally crying.

Angela Dec 12 2014 1:39 am Really great film and worth watching. The characterisation of the cast and cinematography is indeed excellent as well. I'm just curious about the reception of this film because it seems as if it's lacking recognition. Because even if not the actors, I think the director deserves an award. The fact that this movie isn't heavily drawn through dialogue but the emotions and dark setting each scene portrays is seriously A+ standard. And the ending just leaves you with questioning about trust and misunderstandings in relationships.. perfect. Jisung! (:

Nasyitah Nov 24 2014 2:15 am I think the ending is so sad because the past 17 years Hyuntae was misunderstanding about Inchul leaving him and Minsoo at the wood. The walkman was actually fell at the forest. Inchul wasn't take it. He just went out to seek for helps. The storyline is so unique.

Girl Nov 22 2014 3:09 pm

- - - SPOILER****

Hyun-Tae almost left Min-Soo to die. But at the last moment he went back.

Vicky Nov 21 2014 4:55 pm Can someone explain the flashback part at the end to me please? I really love this movie but there are some parts that I couldn't understand. Thank you <3

mina yong Nov 05 2014 9:29 pm this is one of the most sad movie i have ever watched T_T lee kwang soo oppa acting is too good, i couldnt stop crying the whole movie 10/10!!

anonymous Oct 30 2014 11:18 pm It just made me remain speechless after watching it...

ACEyu Oct 30 2014 5:43 am storyline was unbelievable can be happen in life, it's not their fault. but it's still wrong, but as moral please think twice and wisely. the true In-Chul really care about Hyun-Tae & Min-Soo. I just hope all is alive but reality also will like that too. good job for all actor(as all 3 actor is my fav ^.~). it touch my heart n some moment i cry. thanks

justsaying Oct 29 2014 10:52 pm Dare I say that kwangsoo can act better than jihyo? RM fans might kill me...

MokoChou Aug 30 2014 4:26 am OMG I want too bad to see this movie TTT But i can't find any links in eng sub .... Can someone help me please ? .__.

masaki82 Aug 06 2014 2:45 am Holy moly... the movie is good! I did not expect that... it's quite sad :'( Kwang Soo oppa did a great job, same with Ji Sung and Ju Ji Hoon ^^

MichelleKhai Jul 18 2014 4:59 am I voted 100 <3 For Kwang Soo oppa!! he's really talented in acting! <3

RyeLyyn Jul 08 2014 7:10 am Now I understand why Ji sung oppa whispered to kwang soo on Running Man ep 203 to get revenge to ji hoon because of what he did in the movie lol.

Frisa Jul 07 2014 4:22 am kwangsoo oppa!!! you're still cute no matter kind of role you pick.!!! Oppa! Fighting!

maria Jul 05 2014 10:09 pm lee kwang soo HWAITING!!!!!!

clearlyrebecca Jul 04 2014 9:26 am My writer's intuition is telling me that in the end, Kwang Soo's character (who seems to be the most passive and mild-mannered of the three) will either kill or betray the other two, after realizing that his two 'good friends' are willing to sacrifice him for their own skins. He might also be left as the only man standing, after his swindler friend gets caught and sent to jail, and then his 'justice-seeking' friend gets himself killed. I'm really excited to see if I'm right! :D

m. Jul 02 2014 8:11 pm i'm honestly really excited for this movie. this kind of different "image" allows viewers to see a different side of kwangsoo, which will perhaps play big role in his future castings, him landing many roles, even possibly a lead role. hope it goes well!

Esther Jun 19 2014 12:39 am The forever hilarious joke of Running Man is portraying an intense role - definitely anticipating for the movie to be brought over to the theaters in my country!!!

Brynn Muir May 04 2014 12:31 am I just watched the trailer for this and none of the actors purported here to be in it were in the trailer. Perhaps there's another film of the same name being released? Lee Kwang Soo was most definitely not in the trailer I watched...hmmm.

Ritztaris/Rita Dec 10 2013 9:37 pm Kang Dong Won - thank you for not accepting this movie that eventually went to Jihoon who will shine once more in this project. The role of a swindler will be peanuts for Jihoon. He is an excellent actor be it in drama or comedy. Whatever role, he is brilliant!

desly Dec 10 2013 9:06 pm Another project for Ju Ji Hoon so happy for him. I like him in princess hours. He's with kwang soo in this movie too I bet Ju Ji Hoon knows kwang soo's noona in Running Man. hehehe

aisha Dec 10 2013 8:44 pm Ji hun ssi...congratulation for your new project. Can't wait to watch!!!!!
