hya Dec 05 2021 7:13 am A masterpiece !! at first I thought this movie would be boring, but I was wrong. things got more interesting as soon as they're in sk, and the friendship between the two chul woos was really touching especially towards the end of the movie

Lorella Masseria Jun 28 2020 11:14 am Beautiful, intense, engaging and moving: in a word unmissable!

Shaylin Apr 05 2018 5:42 am I still tear up whenever I remember Eom Chul-Woo at the end T-T

watcher Nov 15 2017 7:54 am I really hoping this film will top the box office, but they will release it on the same day with "With God", so it will be a strong match between 2 films. Hope they going well, just like "The King" & "Confidential Assignment" early this year, which that 2 films release in same day, but the 2 going very well in box office

Lizzy Dec 28 2016 12:01 pm I'm SO excited about this combo, seeing as they worked together recently in Asura. I *HAVE* to see any and every movie JWS is in, I adore him. He's easily one of my favorite actors.
