As Salad (a band most band of you have never heard of) once sang: Nothing happens in this town, Nothing moves.
That's the problem with this film: nothing happens, it never seems to go anywhere... after a while you'll likely start checking the clock. I almost turned this film off just past the hour mark because it was pretty boring and, Hae-mi, the female lead, was annoying, not relatable in any way whatsoever and, frankly, she was driving me mad, dancing around semi-naked, stoned.
But - for some unknown reason - I persevered (and believe me: no-one should judge you if you don't).
In the end, Jung Su, the naive country-boy, starts to come to life (oh, did I forget to mention that he'd basically done nothing up until this point?). The film meanders along and then, BAM! One of the best endings I've seen in recent memory.
Then again, I watch a lot of films and, sadly, most nowadays are crap.
So, whether the ending is enough to make someone award this snooze-a-thon 10/10 is debatable, but IMDb is full of stuoid idiots and pretentious idiots alike. Just watch it and make up your own mind... but don't be surprised if you turn it off half way.
