I really liked the story, it was to me quite unique and the special effects where good too! I didn't had any expectations but I really started to like this movie.
As this movie was coming to his end I was really dissapointed. The ending was so rough, not believable, unrealistic and I have some questions who remain unanswered. I hate it when a movie ends like that.
This movie had potential but they didn't do anything with it, too bad.

The story for me was okay, it was something different than other stories but that's all. The movie starts actually really nice but as it proceeds it became avarage. The acting was also okay and the enviroment was pretty.
At the end of the movie there are some horrible special effects, the last 15 minutes this movie fell in a grade dreadfull to watch. This special effects where just cheap and ugly.
Overall this movie is okay to kill some time. Don't expect to much from this movie just watch this without thinking.

This movie totally surprised me what an unique movie and so many plot twists!! This movie will amaze you, maybe shed some tears, you'll feel with the emotion of the two main actors.
I am so amazed by this movie, somehow I suspect something corny, but it wasn't at all! The story wis well build and in the end it all makes sense. After watching this movie you'll understand why I am so exhilarated about this movie!
Really just watch it!! It is definitely worth your time, and believe me you WILL rewatch this!!

They missed the whole point that could have made this movie into a masterpiece, just focus on the main leads and build up the story from beginning to the end.
Instead they are throwing persons in the middel of the movie, the story is nowhere to be found and I have questions about everyones past, because in this movie their past is essential.
It such a let down because even tho the story overal sucks ass they are greatly acting, it had all the elements (actors/movieplay/based on a great novel) but they failed.
There was almost no music in the story so that also failed to build up any triggering emotions.
I would not rewatch movie.
Watch this soley if you love Ikuta Toma's work, but don't expect too much.
Skip this.. well just skip it.

It has a cute story that really is common. The main lead here isn't song joong ki but the dogs. This is a story to watch as a child or even as an adult. This is one of those feel good movies with lots of happy and cute moments in them. It also has a sad theme with it but it is a child friendly movie.
The cast was amazing and I am only talking about the dogs. It takes loads of training and it isn't easy to film a movie with animals. I loved the puppy's they were too cute and Hearty, I wish I could take her home! On a other note I do think sometimes they handled the dogs too rough or a little bit unhandy especially the pups, they could have been a little more careful.
Overall this movie is a great watch.
Watch this if you like movies with animals, Labradors and a child like theme.
Skip this if you don't like animals or childisch like movies.

I had really high expectations! The first movie was a masterpiece, the second movie was great and this, this was good compared to the other two movies.
I still rated this movie very high because of their scenery, the way they shot the movies, with nature, sunlight, settings that was just so amazing and detailed. The emotions, screams, tears and despair; I could actually feel them. This movie didn't give me one single dull moment. The fighting scene's were incredible al always, I loved it.
But, the story.. They rushed this i.m.o. so much! I do understand that some parts were important but I felt that we lost some good characters background stories, missed the fighting scenes with other important people and they forgot the pacing in this movie. I also felt that some characters were suddenly weaker than they appeared.
Still I did like this movie, not as much as the first and second.

The movie was not predictable, and there are some unexpected things that you would not expect, that is what I really liked.
What I also didn't like were some unrealistic fights and the special effects
Overall this is a good movie to kill some time. The story is average but this is my opinion I believe if some others watch this, they might find the story better!

Somehow it worked, but this mix up is something that you are going to like or dislike, no in between.
The story is well written and no questions are left out. I did miss some information about some people but I can live without it. Sometimes I did have a hard time with the 'shaman' part of this movie, but it gives a little twist. It also did a good job on the suspense and it has some thrilling and 'wtf' moments, I liked those!
What I found disappointing is that they gave the 'killer' away too soon i.m.o. I love movies where I have to guess until the end leaving some hints throughout the movie, but that wasn't found here. I think it could have lifted this movie to a higher level.
Note: this movie is quite bloody!
The cast did a splendid job, I felt with them and I was really convinced with their roles. It really had creepy feeling and the emotions that were acted were great. I could feel the despair that the main lead felt!
The music was dark and mysterious and it really made it creepy in some scenes.
I would re-watch this movie, not instantly but it was a very good watch, not a waste of your time!
Watch this if you like thrilling, suspenseful and mysterious movie with a 'killer chase' theme.
Skip this if you expect romance or can't take bloody scenes.

The story is a bit common but they executed it perfectly. It caught my attention immediatly and held it to the last seconds. It is well written and the only flaw was that sometimes it was a bit too much of a coincidence. This story is really dark but it manages to put in some acceptable parts of comedy in it. What I also really liked about the movie that it had twists and turns, and I didn't see all of them coming.
The actors did a great job, it didn't feel like people were out of place, it fitted perfectly. Also the characters were well directed and the emotions were very raw.
The music was on and off, sometimes it really set the mood but in one or two scenes I found it a bit off.
I would rewatch this movie and recommend people I know to watch this.
This movie remembered me again how much I can hate the human race. Actually this is quite a emotional rollercoaster, I laughed, cried, felt furious, disgust and more..
Watch this if you like dark movies, a good story and twists & turns.
Skip this only if you can't handle inhumane actions against people, but other than that, watch this movie!

I didn't get it at all.
The story is very vague, it is filmed in a way that confuses the viewer, it confused me. They jumped from a story to another story and it became really complicated. Also the progress of this movie is slow and it is just those last 15 minutes that will give you some action. But getting trough that first 1hr and 15 mins is actually very tiring.
I can't complain on the cast, maybe they are great actors but this movie killed the characters for me so I will stay on a avarage 6, the same goes for the music.
I would not rewatch this movie because I disliked it and maybe this is just not my cup of tea.
Watch this if you like difficult movies with a slow pace.
Skip this, well just skip this unless you got curious about how confusing this movie is.

The story was good and it will keep you somehow on your toes and question somethings in this movie. When the movie progresses, there will be some big reveals.
Allthough at the last 15 minutes they didn't really finished the movie right up, somehow a disappointment, because it had big potential!
What annoyed me the most was the old music, it did fit the emotions but I thought the music was really horrible.
Overall a nice movie to watch, with a nice story and some little plot twists.

The story is extremely sloppy and goes from this to that without any sense. Some people show up in the movie, and leave to never be heard of again. Seriously, why Mike Tyson? He can't act that is for sure, but also around him wasn't a story, he was just thrown in there. The story has too many loose component that arn't tied up together, just several tiny stories.
It gave me too much Hollywood vibes. Where did the real story go? The beautiful architecture, culture, clothing, nature and history of China, nothing was in this movie.
The big plus were the fight scenes, they were extremely well made, the calmness into the fights were amazing and prepare for the epic elevator fight, that was so amazing!!
I rated the acting low because of Mr. Tyson, but I so loved main leads, the chemistry was felt throughout the whole movie and was heart-touching.
The music was marvelous chosen and fitted perfectly
Watch this if you like action, Ip man and thrilling fight scenes.
Skip this if you expect a great story like in the other Ip Man movies, because it isn't found in here.

It had potential...
Hyped up but I was let down at some points.The story is overused. I understand that they tried to put a twist in it to make it seem interesting. That's is where it goes wrong, a 'simple' story would have been nice here, because nothing is better than a good written story without too many twists and turns about a guy finding his identity.
I also see that in seeming more Korean movies they used American or white actors speaking mostly English. Stop please, you guys have given us great classic movies without those nonsense.
I must say I do applaud them for taking an insanity amount of one shots. That requires great planning, timing and also needs to be flawless. I loveeeee one shots, but also.. This movie took it too far. Extremely shakey camerawork, too many angles in one shot and at times also budget CGI.
Overall I wanted to love this movie, the effort and work. But it was in all aspects too much.
Too much one shots, too much wanting a complex storyline and too much of wanting American influences.
Watch this if you want gory, action packed movie with loads of one shots.
Skip this if you looking for quality (sorry).

It had potential with capital HAD.
Damn, I wanted to like this movie so bad but sadly I didn't. To be honest the storyline isn't new or refreshing, but if executed well, this could be another 'man from nowhere' but it failed. The story wanted to intertwine too badly, there were scenes that were out of place in my opinion. I would have loved to see way more of Song Ji Ho's perspective instead of focussing on Ma Dong Seok (whom I love). I didn't like it either that I saw some tiny movie mistakes (scene starts in the evening and the next shot is brigh day, too bad).The cast however is well picked, they were not the one to fail in my opinion, its the storyline and overal directing of this movie that had failed the cast. Also the movie was quite predicatble.
The music is what I expect from these kind of movies; a little bit dark and mysterious.
I would not rewatch this movie, only if someone would ask me to watch with them.
Watch this if you like kidnapping movies.
Skip this if you expect top quality.

In the first 20-30 minutes you are going to be upset. Seriously I've never felt so angry, so it is amazing that they could pull out such an emotion out of me trough a movie!! The [young] actors did an amazing and excellent acting job! I was so involved and could feel the raw emotions!!
I wish they held longer to this type of filming but they didn't. I wish the 'future' concept would be more different. I thought the movie would have been a masterpiece if the present in the present story that they could focus more on the effects than the plain 'revenge' mode. I wish more emotions would have been involved in this and maybe terrorize the 'bully' on a other way that would be more realistic than this.
But if I leave that note out I still thing this movie was very good and it didn't feel like a waste of time. I liked the actors, the music fitted every scene and I would rewatch this movie.
Watch this if you like revenge movies with a heavy load of emotional luggage.
Skip this if you like light hearted movie with an easy too follow story.
