With nothing but stellar reviews, 25 minutes in, the plot a shambles and the film boring, I had to check that I was watching the right flick!
One hour later, it occurred to me that this disaster of storytelling still had an hour to run... which, unfortunately, I sat through like a severe test of patience.
Come the ending, I honestly wish I hadn't bothered and that more negative - sorry, realistic - reviews/comments of this overly long, dire mess of a film were being published, as I felt both cheated by the hype and resentful for the time invested in such crap.
Note to nerds: not everything from Korea is a "masterpiece"; sadly, this film is a great example.
