Ish May 15 2023 9:54 pm If you like dark crime films, this is the film for you. A little too sad for me, but a good film in its own right.

Curious Apr 17 2023 9:47 am Can someone tell me the name of the ending song? It is not within the sound track album

Good Addiction Aug 22 2021 11:04 am very good movie ?

Jesse Mar 24 2021 6:10 am I love Kdramas. All of them! Great stories, storytelling, and the soundtracks! What was the last song during the credits? I would love find out so I can play it over and over again.

Han Feb 18 2021 1:54 am I don’t really understand this movie but it was good lol ?

Jessica May 21 2020 8:23 pm FilmJo oil- ho A Korean film has no respect and order, noisy there is no law to conduct police investigation.

Criminal Police treat employees like a less educated, no knowledge, exclusive.  (hit the head. kick the leg, shouting.          A heaps Noisy, disordered journalist is like dogs to a hungry baby who wants to breastfeed....

James May 07 2020 3:41 am I really enjoyed this movie. It kind of worries me (as a previous commenter stated) to see Warner Brothers - the Last thing I want to see is an American influence in an attempt to get wider distribution - I watch almost exclusively foreign films and a few English as the American film industry is just dreadful - and has been for probably 30 years - and probably more (fav period for USA is 70s). Globalism I guess has some disadvantages - and I pray that the rest of the worlds film industries don't go down the toilet catering to what seem to be teens, as the USA one has.

Lucy Jul 21 2019 8:09 pm First, I love Kdramas and have been watching for so many years that reading the subtitles has become second nature. I don't miss a single scene or word, soooo...I prefer to listen to Hangul since it's helped me to learn a few words.

Secondly, I should've expected to hear english spoken when I saw this was distributed by Warner Bros. Korea, but I was still surprised. It's just fundamentally wrong to dub movies & dramas in a foreign language because, for me, it's too distracting.

Thirdly, what I love about Korean movies & dramas is that they're made by Koreans. I stopped watching USA made movies & dramas years ago due to the hype, over use of cgi, and their talking down' to the viewer, and throwing in sex or nudity when it wasn't even needed for the story line.

Lastly, this was probably a good movie if shown in Korea in their native language, but if the Korean entertainment companies joins forces with the USA to have a wider viewership then they'll find out it will drive just as many foreigners away. Keep it pure, Korea, PLEASE.

Francis May 27 2019 2:15 pm Great movie. What is that wonderful song at the end. So fitting and beautiful

Shen May 13 2019 8:13 pm I can only say wow when watching this movie. You can never guess what will happen next, everything happen in a way that is too realistic. So i voted 4.5 for a movie always bring me surprises (It always a work come to a land of kimchi)

Viola May 04 2019 12:02 pm A surprisingly good movie. The whole corrupt cop thing integrated well with the anguish of trying to just get by and make it through to another day. Some seriously sad moments which makes you realise exactly how fragile life is.

Joe May 04 2019 7:30 am I liked this movie saw it on Netflix.

Dzjrs May 31 2018 1:04 pm Is he the guy who played in 'My Mister' as a monk? Dong Hoon (Lee Sun Kyun) best friend? wow! I'll wait for this movie =)

toycrane Apr 24 2018 11:07 am seeing lee sunkyun starred in many upcoming movie makes me feels like drama after my mister would take a while
