This is an excellent movie overall. This film has pretty good composition and setting. The script-writing here is also excellent, the way how it unfolds the mystery is very good. It's really in another genre of thriller. Good cast of Sung Dong II, and Baek Yoon Shik.It shows a good persona for an ill-mannered old man, that he is scared that one day no one will like him. It captured the emotions between each one of them having their own hardship trying to pay their rent, but it doesn't get any better even if they tried hard. It also shows the side of being a bad person, will not get anyone to mourn for you when you die, or even worst you die alone in loneliness in your apartment without anyone knowing only to wait for someone to notice you. But among all these edginess, he is actually very concern about his life down the road. The kind of feeling, that doesn't speak much but inside is actually very concerned and scared.
While Sung Dong II here plays an important role of being an Alzheimer person. Sometimes it makes us think whether is he mentally alright, or still retains its consciousness about the situation in reality. His role really turns the whole situation. His character has shown a person of a living dead, a person with so much agony but can't find justice to it. Like how the victims that the culprit has done, paralysing them on their speech but still able to see, touch and hear.

Veterans are veterans after all
A good story and amazing performance by some brilliant veteran actors. Both the characters, the rude and greedy landlord, Shim Duk Soo (Yoon Shik) and the AD-stricken old detective, Park Pyung Dal (Dong Il) were quite simple, but were played so well by these seasoned actors that it was a delight to watch them. All the supporting actors did a nice job as well.A fast-paced script packed with elements of mystery and comedy. Overall, a solid movie which I will certainly watch again, conveys the following message:
OLD-TIMERS ROCK!

Pretty interesting character chemistry
The mystery serial killing plotline is pretty common among similar genre but the the scenario on how the settings has been established is pretty unique.I really loved the duo's chemistry. It was my first time seeing a movie that is being starred by older actors and they totally nailed it. I know this is not a comedy genre but I find myself smiling because of the characters combination.
As for the story, it's pretty cliché in terms of similar genres but there's something in the story that will keep you watching it. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. There's also minor plot twists that I never knew that was coming.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching this movie. I keep rooting for the characters and I'm glad how it turned out. I really recommend this if you're a fan of investigative thriller movies.
