Nara Sep 10 2022 8:54 am Amazing movie with the amazing casts, story, and plot twists!

Watch this gem because there's nam gil here. Been crushing over him after emergency declaration hahaha

Korean thriller movie never failss, good job, thanks to all crews and casts!

Han Jan 21 2022 5:10 am (continued) I really think this is worth watching guys. Just saw this on Netflix.

BTW, for the ending. Now I'm wondering if Kim and Min are the same person. First evidence: Min removed a part of his head. This could be Kim as he had an accident 17 years back and injured his head badly. Second evidence: Kim saw Min at the end in his death and saw Min's picture in his locket. I think Kim's trying to keep a photo of himself, so that he could remember who he was.

Han Jan 21 2022 4:31 am Haha the ending, so full of suspense. I interpret it as he already died and saw Min Tae Joo in his death. But the picture in locket, does it mean that Min Tae Joo is his son? Mind blown.

Sleepy Sep 07 2021 9:32 pm The main character played by Sol Kyung-gu is captivating as hell. It's a shame he didn't any awards. Such a superb performance.

Ronaldo Chavez May 24 2021 6:49 pm Where is the place with wind turbines along the shoreline. It is very beautiful.

AR Rahman Jan 15 2021 8:24 am just little confused with the ending, after police officer look at the Kim Byung Su' MRI and CT scan. Is that KNG or SKG on the ending, on snowed railway? How KNG look a like on ending scene been underwater chained with car police?

Sorry i'm not good at interpretating the whole story, but it's interesting to watch

Eose May 03 2020 12:16 am The plot drives me crazily in curiosity while watching the movie. It gives me creep. Mind blowing! ?

Pretty_maimy Apr 28 2020 8:56 pm A great movie. Especially there's the versatile Kim Nam Gil on it! :)

Jenny Apr 10 2020 4:12 pm You should check the Memoir of a murdered: Another Memory, for different ending. This is a mind blowing film. Haha 10 stars!

Joy Jun 23 2018 3:25 am PERFECT. If you hesitated to watch this movie, you should immediately watch it. I'm not good at english but this movie has a perfect cast, and i dont know how to say, but this movie is really worth to watch. And i dont think seolhyun acting was bad, i see that all the cast did a great job playing their character.

@kol-juul I often see in korean drama, the first shot of a gun is an empty bullet.

chan Feb 01 2018 5:58 am the devilishly charming guy who captivates women!!!! so attractive. I got to know him through bad guy, I really love his role in that film...Mostly people fell for actor's appearance first then his acting, but when I knew KNG I love his acting first then I realized that he's very gorgeous..

freiheit life Jan 25 2018 10:09 am Well I guess I'm the only one that find Seolhyum acting is weird. I mean she doesn't suit the character really well. No hate on her

Kol-Juul Nov 07 2017 7:23 pm Fantastic movie. Best movie ive seen in 2017 hands down!

SPOILER ALERT.

Question: in the movie the antagonist is shot with a gun from the police, but it had No effect! There is a lot of smoke, No wound, and the guy getting shot at laughs, as if to say: i knew it!

My question: do south korean police have dummy/fake guns or something? Or non lethal guns of some sort? I did not understand

Tristan Oct 22 2017 6:53 pm Great acting esp Seolhyun whose shown so much improvement and pull off character roles. Great job to all.
