You know how pre-watch hype and the burden of expectations squashes enjoyment? Well that's what happened to me here. I had gone in anticipating edge-of-the-seat suspense moments and a genuinely thrilling storyline but what I got was an elementary school kid's idea of a half-baked murder mystery. Yoo Seung Ho (when was the guy not a great actor?) is great here as is Kang So Ra but what kills the movie is its wafer thin plot, abundance of character cliches and shoddy performances put in by the rest of the cast. The comic scenes come off as forced, the murder bits are mundane and bland and the end reveal of the killer absolutely bleh. If you, like me, are a veritable fan of crime thrillers then the murder and crime solving aspect of the movie will absolutely fail at garnering a reaction. The one redeeming aspect of the film is its short length and the two Yoo Seung Ho-Kang Sora kisses and their general chemistry. I mean the guy knew how to kiss at sixteen. Holy wow! So watch this if you are into Seung Ho and So Ra. If you are looking for a genuinely intriguing murder mystery which gives rise to moments full of nail-biting tension or gets you to care about the crime and its resolution, you will probably be wasting your time watching this.
