This movie if amazing for people who love bloody movies

At first, I put this movie a side and to be honest I don't even know why ...
But let me start of by saying this movie is by far the best movie I've seen in awhile and to be honest is my favourite movie at the moment. All the characters portrayed their character perfectly. I also love the way this movie is set out like a book:
-Prologue
- Chapter 1
-Chapter 2
-Chapter 3
- Chapter 4
-Epilouge
This movie is full of blood and there are scenes where I hid under my cover (not becuase of how scary, but because of how disgusting it was).I think this movie showed a lot of what goes on behind what the citizens know and see. One thing that got me was the fact that the Government Officials and Police were fighting over who got him first - which I think is completly disgusting and annoying.

What I find really incredible about this movie is the fact that Kim Gwang Il (played by Lee Jong Suk) didn't shudder one single bit and smirked everytime he was getting integrogated. Like even as a serial killer it's completely like... wtf he just murdered poor, innocent, young girls and he has the audacity to go smirking/flaunting about it. He played a sick physcopath who played with the minds of the politics and police. I personally didn't want him to die at the end but.... I guess there are lots of people who wanted him dead. The way he killed all the girls was absloutelty disgusting (especially the first girl in thr movie). Normally, Lee Jong Suk plays the romantic guy but in this drama he acts completely different and he played it magnificently. Personally, I think he should play more roles like this.

Chae Yi Do (played by Kim Myung Min) was also another amazing actor. After getting suspended and almost killed by Kim Gwang Il, he still did everything in his power to make sure he got rid of Kim Gwang Il. At the same time, I'm still wondering how he survived three gun shots and loosing lots of blood. At one point, I really wanted Ri Dae Bum to die but...

Ri Dae Bum played by (Park Hee Soon) was also brilliant. He portayed his character to the fullest. As a North Korean working for Bureau 35 and then kicked out because he was searching the case of the young girl that Kim Gwang Il. He was also like Chae Yi Do, in the way he didn't give up looking for Kim Gwang Il. Also in the movie Paul Grey says," Ri Dae Bum is like the North Korean version of Chae Yi Do."

At the end of the movie, I was left with loads of emotions. Personally, I didn't want Kim Gwang Il to die and actually I wanted him to be loose and cause more murders (so then the second movie would come out). There is a lot of asearing in this drama and a lot of 16+ scenes. This movie ,though, is good for people who love grotesque scenes and murder mystery type movies.
