I had this in my PTW because it reminded me of 12 Angry Men so obviously Juror 8 came up short but otherwise it's a great Korean film.

Dislikes:

Case - To me the story wasn't well executed. As a juror I would assume that everyone would want to read through the evidence of a case before deciding on a verdict. The fact that only one juror was interested in the case and the Judge as well as her colleagues considered this a waste of time from the get go was quite disappointing and baffling.

Resolution - There was almost no explanation on what basis and why many jurors changed their mind. There was very little debate or discussion between the jurors wrt the verdict. I would have also loved to see how each juror changed his/her opinion and how each of them justified the verdict that they decided on.

Scenes - I found some scenes fantastic and the way they were handled diluted the seriousness of the situation for me. As I am not Korean, the ending felt like a plot twist to me and I felt rushed.

Likes:

There were a lot of good actors in the movie and I almost hoped some of them had gotten more screen time/backstory. Moon So-ri as the judge was splendid, the way she has to suffer male colleagues in her profession felt extremely realistic to me.

Park Hyung Sik as Kwon Nam-woo was brilliant. He conveyed the hesitancy of a compassionate young man very well. I liked how he refused to give up until he was sure.

Kim Mi Kyung as Juror 2 was good with her questioning mentality and some of her lines were really good.

Overall:
Interesting plot. Good Korean Movie. Great for one time watch. Since PHS is brilliant it gets an 8 but if you aren't a PHS fan I'd give it a 7.

PS: My rating scale for movies is very strict. And 12 Angry Men made it very difficult to give this anything higher than 7.5.
