Hikaru

I’m not sure how I feel about it. While the acting is good, the story and the overall premise didn't do much for me. Ha Jung-woo definitely has better films, even when playing the villain. And I don’t even know what Kim Nam-gil is doing there; his character and storyline felt like a distraction. They didn't really do much with the book/writer connection, and the movie could have easily moved forward without that element since it didn't add anything. The synopsis is actually pretty misleading.
​I can't help but compare it to Mercy for None—though to be fair, that's a series, which naturally gives it more room to properly build up the story. That said, it’s still a decent action flick when it comes to the fight scenes.
