Unnecessary exposure. Why does Netflix not respect anyone else's values? The easiest thing to do is: just not watch Netflix. Just a shame more and more Korean stuff is being made via Netflix's money.
If you dropped it after 2 ep,,you may regret it after finishing it sometimes later...there are some crazy twists…
I was just massively underwhelmed by it, to be honest. There were quite a few Taoist kung-fu films in the '80s and even more recent Andy Lau stuff that this clearly draws inspiration from, but it had nowhere near as good action or atmosphere (the kung-fu stuff had the fights; Andy Lau and those scripts brought the vibes).
At the end of the day, life's too short to keep watching something in the HOPE that it gets better.
Meh. I gave it 5/10 and dropped it after the 2nd episode.
The problems with this for me were:
- Too much effort spent on flashy CGI instead of building much-needed atmosphere. - Seen it all before Taoist kung-fu... minus the kung-fu! - The usual suspense and intrigue surrounding royalty, so nothing new. - Netflix, so homosexual depravity surely shoe-horned in at some point (I hope I'm wrong, but I jumped ship before it happened anyway).
Very middle of the road and I honestly cannot understand the rave reviews. This wasn't scary, wasn't mysterious and certainly wasn't an engaging drama. There will be snowflakes who can't stand a different opinion and down-vote this, but it's not as if I have hours to kill on something that doesn't work for me and I can only call them the way I see them.
I hadn't even heard of it, but it's supposedly the highest grossing Korean film ever (in domestic cinemas - but only due to the price of tickets, as two other films sold MORE tickets)... which is funny, because the synopsis sounds pretty dull and the trailer sucks arse.
But I also saw a dubbed trailer... which happened to have some of the worst dubbing I've seen since 1960s kung-fu.
guys can someone please tell me if it's worth taking a day off from work?😠also how scary is it if watching…
I'm really curious as to why anyone would have to take a day off to watch a film in the cinema... Do you work 7 days a week and live a 12-hour drive away from your nearest one?
I've no idea what "male gaze" is or why you posted a spoiler... but this sounds like a rip-off of The…
"...why her sister and her boyfriend got the short end of the stick..." makes it sound like they both died. I think most people would read your comment and infer you'd posted a big spoiler.
But, yeah, semi-nude teenage girls isn't cool (unless both the actresses and their characters are 18+ and the film is aimed at horny teenage dudes - then it's catering for the viewers and, although sleazy and something I'd likely avoid, is a proven effective business model).
I do like a vigilante film.; I'll have to track this down...
Yeah, I lasted an hour of this boring mess and turned it off.
Basically, a lot of women get topless, people fuck, some dude's a junky... it's one of those slow-burn dramas I'm really not a fan of and the title was damn misleading (Vigilantes in this are Citizen Patrol; they wear bright yellow vests and walk around at night, acting like fake cops). It's well made though, so others may like it. Who knows?
why would you watch it and comment about it? how embarrassing for you
Throwing insults around like a faggy internet troll because you can't bear that people have different opinions.
Oh, I'm not being "homophobic" before you cry to the admins! The word, FAGGOT, is something used to burn homosexuals tied to a stake with; it's where the term comes from to insult homosexuals, but does not necessary mean the word, itself, is an insult (there was even a brand of food called, FAGGOTS).
FAGGY - in this context - means that annoying internet trolls who can't suffer other people having different opinions, should suffer. I'm not saying that you need to be tied to a stake and burnt alive, but FAGGY does imply a form of punishment.
At no point did I call this film FAGGY. You seem to get upset over stupid shit. Not everyone likes the same things and it feels like this shitty film only got so much hype because it was made by a wanky director with pretentious fans - you know: the kind who think they're smarter than everyone else because they tolerate more bullshit - and because it praises the LGBTQ+ (did I miss any letters?) agenda.
Get over yourself (and stop logging in with your alt. account to give yourself up-votes. Cringe).

How embarrassing for you that you're so bigoted. People have different opinions and different beliefs, but leftists and LGBTABC+ people only accept the opinions and beliefs of other people if they also have them.
And why the fuck wouldn't I comment on a "masterpiece" turning out to be nothing but pretentious shit?

Seriously: track down some of John Woo's classics and you'll forget all about the over-rated, John Wick.
I've heard nothing but good things about this; you're the first person to mention AI... which is an obvious turn-off.

Then again, I dropped it after 2 episodes because it wasn't very good.

Added to my viewing list.

Did you mean: 2026?
Walk on, boy.

Sinkholes? What do they have to do with the above?
Aha, and then I see a lot of reviews calling this a mess. Yeah... nah. Thanks.
