kurin Oct 17 2021 8:02 am I cry when watching this movie??, When hyeri shout to search his father and scream while in tears my heart is broken because im also like that. i remember my father who is passed away.?? so sad, but happy they all is alive and still together untill the end.

Jil Oct 08 2021 2:23 pm Underated. This is a good one, i agree not the best one but still, actions and movie visuals are great- i just hope they added something more to story to make it more impactful. But overall, this is not bad, still a good movie.

Danny Jan 18 2019 7:28 pm Story and plot line was a little thin. I actually expect Hyeri to have more role in her part but was a little let down. I do like Kyung Myung Min in drama roles as his character is always very strong. Although Hyeri is the leading actress but she is overshadowed by the main actor. Choi Woo Sik was definitely a let down for sure.

Kim In-Kwon probably has the best role and he acting skills is amazing for the role he played in. Without him, I think the movie might just flop. It looks like a full action movie but I think due to budget constrain, everything was just executed averagely. There are better action movie for period movie and this is not one of them. I really expected a lot more.

Movie posters always look convincing but all the character was a let down.

Del Aug 22 2018 3:18 am After watching the trailer, I find myself feeling a little sorry for the monster.

rim Jul 19 2018 6:00 am I can't wait for this movie.
