Yep it was worth the hype

Finally got to watch this and while I admit it had a slow start (like a lot of Asian cinema) once it gained speed it kept me plastered to the screen making me understand that this indeed is a movie worthy of its hype, awards and so on and so on.

This is not a character driven story as no one except for maybe the bad ass sister is actually interesting or lovable for that matter. This is more of a what is going to happen next, this is absurd type of movie making you wonder how much more absurd it can get. While still staying kind of casual... Though the ending is a bit predictable in some ways... other ways not... the main selling point of this drama is in the contrast between rich-poor, dark-light, basement- room with natural light... funny dark humour without those over the top annoying characters we sometimes get. As well as the words not spoken...

Or something like that I actually have no idea what I am trying to say here but I was bored in the beginning got drawn in to this mess, and once it got messy I loved every moment of it.

Acting was top, cinematography and story got better and better...
