Its so hard for me to review this movie, because you just need to watch this to understand. This is a real tearjerker and many more emotions you'll feel.
I really felt tired when I watched this movie because so many emotions where involved!
The actors & afcourse the dog were great, the story is amazing and is makes it more special because it really happened. The music made some scenes even more sad.
Def. rewatch and you'll have to see it to understand my review :)!

This movie has an unique story, I've never seen it like this and this movie is quite remarkable. The movie uses the fairytale as the red thread, with some other things thrown in there.
The first half off the movie might come off slow and even boring, but this connects very well to the second part of the movie, so don't give up! I also had a hard time continue the movie, but it was so worth it.
The are some 'comical' parts, but I believe if they could have kept a serious tone throughout the movie that it would have made it better.
This movie is classified as horror, but I thought it has a more of a thriller/mystery vibe. But I do warn you that some things can be considered as gross.
The actors did a splendid job, I had sometimes a hard time with the facial expressions of the main lead. But overall it was well en greatly done!
The music was lovely, especially the music from the flute.
I would rewatch this movie, because I think it is one of a kind. But, this is also a movie that you really going to like or going to dislike, there is no inbetween.
Watch this if you like an unique storyline, great acting and good story.
Skip this if you want a horror movie or if you are expecting romance.

This is one of those movies where you will say things like OMG, cute, I wish it was me. Because there is loads of eyecandy here. I liked the story, it is easy to follow and sometimes cheesy. But the cheesyness really belonged here in this movie so it is acceptable. I did had a hard time with the female lead because I wanted her to be a bit different than she had to portray in the movie.
The acting was really good, especially if the female lead got on my nerves for her acting here, she did her job wel. The male lead is easy to love and I thought his acting was great. Also the chemistry they have in this movie is incredible!
I would rewatch this movie because it is so darn cute and this movie just has something about it that I want to rewatch it.
Watch this movie if you like cheesy, cute and romantic movie.
Skip this if you don't like romance of much cheesyness.

I write this review, while having seen both of the movies, at the end I will write a little comparison between the two.
The story is quite attractive and unique if it is your first time to see it. I loved how they could come up with tiny twitst and turns. The story overall was good but not great, it had some flaws.
The oscar should go to the dog. Seriously, Chong Chong was a amazing actor in this movie and so cute too! I liked the two main leads, it is so hard to portray a blind person, so she did a amazing job on this one. But I so didn't feel the connection between the two main leads, and that killed it for me because it could have been so much better. What I eventually really liked was that there was no romance involved, yay!
I liked the music, because.. well we all know why :P.
There sadly was much promotion during the movie for certein brands, that also what I really disliked.
In comparison to the korean movie Blind, I was less involved with this movie. With Blind I really felt with the main leads and dog. Also Blind was wrapped up way better than witness, but I could understand where they were coming from. Overall I didn't disliked witness, but I just liked Blind better for the overall story and character development.
Watch this is you like action, drama, thriller and dogs.
Skip this movie if you are looking for romance.

I was amazed how they acted! They were really good and I can't wait for more of some of these actors!
They picked the right music, sometimes it wasn't my taste but that is personal.
I would rewatch this movie and I would recommend it to anyone who like some action, a good story and some suspense!

This story is truly amazing, and when you are watching this movie, you are going to be sucked in this movie. They really did an amazing job. The actors did a great job and they were so believe-able! The music also played a lot with your feelings, and they did a superb job on that one!
I would rewatch this movie only if I have too. Because I really cried my eyes out, but if you feel like a day of sobbing, you can rewatch this.
This movie is uplifting and down lifting and somehow at the end you'll find peace in this movie.

I liked the story, it is nothing new but it was easy to follow. I liked the story more if it gave a bit more background information. I did like the development of some people and also I really like when a movie tells everything in the end and explains it.
The acting is really nice, they really convinced me, but I found some characters a bit weak but that doesn't kill the movie!
I am a big time scardy cat and some scenes did shock me. But for the people who watch horror movies all the time this isn't scary at all I think haha!
Watch this if you like a nice story with some horror scenes.
Skip if you are a big time scardy cat or if you are looking for extreme horror (because this isn't).

It has a good story that has a lot mystery in it, so you keep wondering and asking. Also this movie never has a dull moment. Or it's packed with action, thrilling scene's or there is some kind of drama going on. And I loved the little twists in the movie!
The acting was very good, and especially from Ikuta Toma! I was really surprised about his acting skills (and body, just kidding)!!! He didn't had many lines in this movie, but he made this film is own!
But in little ways this movie lacks some information about the extra characters, I'd liked the story more when there was more information, but this might killed the mystique part in the movie.
Overall a movie with action and some drama that is worth your time to watch!

The story is unique and they exectued it perfectly. It has suspense, romance, drama and it offers you so much more. The setting is actually realy simple but all the details made it great! I felt all kinds of emotions and I so freaking love plot-twists and this movie just has it all for me!
The actors were so convincing. I loved the main leads but also every single supportive role. They lived up their role and I've never doubted them once in this movie.
The music gives you the right vibes with every scene, they fitted nicely in the scenes.
I would rewatch this movie! It has just all the themes that I like and they did is quite perfectly.
Watch this if you like suspense, drama, romance and plot twists.
Don't skip this movie, I think it really is a must watch.

And I love mindfucks!! And this movie fucked mine up pretty good. This movie will keep you on your toes, you might make your own conclusions up and you'll feel excited watching this movie!!
The acting is really good, I was in the movie. The music fitted every scene en the story? The story is really good, it's mind breaking and somehow sad.
I loved the ending where it all comes together. Some movies pull it off to fast and doesn't let it end properly. But after watching this movie you'll have no questions left anymore.
Good movie, great mindfuck and worth watching!

It has a good written story, there are somewhat similar movies like this one. I really liked it that it had loads of twists and turns in them; I didn't see all of them coming. I really liked the little hints of comedy it is acceptable in this movie. They kept me on my toes and I got really curious about this card game (this is unknown in the EU). I didn't understand the card game but the movie makes you understand it, and after watching this you might get interested in the Go-Stop card game.
The acting was great. Yes, I am a tiny bit biased but besides TOP the rest also really stood out, there was one weak character and for me it was Shin Se Kyung, I just can't figure out if it was the role or her acting.
The music made the movie, but one song didn't fit the scene in my opinion so thats the reason why I rated is quite low.
Watch this if you like TOP (yes there will be abs, and he did act quite good), gambling, twists and turns and like the card game Go-Stop.
Skip this if you don't like TOP, bloody scenes and gambling movies.

This is somehow a good movie, it has a nice story that is obsessive, gruesome and frankly really understandable. And after this movie, you'll see the real story behind it; What people really can do to achieve beauty. So in this way I found the story really unique!
The acting is also very good, I was sucked into it, and could totally understand the main lead. The way they filmed this movie was really good, they did show some scenes that might be sickening for some, but I really liked it. It was not over the top or not believe-able.
I would recommend it to anyone to see this movie, a strong and unique movie, great actors and you'll get sucked into the movie right away, but if you got a weak stomach, it might be better to skip this movie.

It's about manholes and I havn't seen a movie like this. Sadly the story is lacking in many ways. I missed loads of informations about characters, this movie would have been very good if they give us more detailed information. It is actually one of those easy killer movies, without a clear motive or a good story to back the bad or good guy up. Too bad. The acting was really nice.
There wasn't much music involved and I might rewatch this movie because I liked the concept of manholes. I don't think this movie is gory, it is nasty but they don't show much of what is happening.
Watch this if you like horror movies.
Skip this if you want a good developed characters, action and a good story.

You are going to choose and there is no in between. This movie will leave you thinking..
The story is gruesome, horrible and tear-jerking, and they executed this amazingly. I am so happy I saw this movie! You'll het sucked into the movie within the first 15 minutes. It's a story that (sadly) happens all over the world. This movie gives you the conflict and dilemma to think about. But you also see that this conflict and dilemma is thought about by the other characters in this movie.
The actors were amazing, especially Jung Jae young. This man is a fucking god. He made me cry, he made me sit on the edge of my seat, he made me even say "oh my god". He is a genius and he totally moved me in this movie!
The music was well chosen, there are a few parts without music, but you barely notice because you are in such of a conflict with yourself during this movie.
If you are doubting to watch this movie; please don't and just watch it! It has got a great story, they executed this so well and this will be worth your time!!

It has a unique story, which they executed really good. They managed to give you a story, and twist the story, and twist it again and again. Some things were predictable, even though I had to guess loads in my head. So this isn't movie you'll watch completely brainless, no this movie will make your brain work haha!
The acting was great, I loved the two main leads. They portrayed their characters greatly and I especially Ninomiya. How he did this was amazing and I am going to watch more of him!
The music fitted every scene and complimented the movie.
This is for anyone who likes plot twist, little bit of action, a great logical story and I think anyone can watch this movie!
