Oh bullshit.
By your logic, international fans should not watch Korean shows or movies, and forget about Kpop.
After all, it's not our business.

How about Korea's status as #1 worldwide in celebrity suicides as well as suicides among the general population?
How about Korea's status as the #1 country in alcoholism and alcohol abuse?

As soon as Korea accepts my time and attention to their creative content, I become an audience member. As an audience member, it is appropriate for me to notice and comment on any damn thing I want to about Korea's movies, dramas, music, culture, laws, society, whatever.

I'm American. International people certainly don't hold back in criticizing every facet of American culture/society/politics/whatever, and I'm glad they do.

It's Knetz psychos, not "Koreans."

You are the problem.

YOU are the problem.

It is always this way.
By taking these stupid accusations seriously, actors, crew, and director need to tell Knetz to fuck the fuck off with their lame bullshit.

You are a weirdo Killer Knetz, who needs to get a life.

Bravo! Keep it up. Kill Knetz and all other forms of Netz.

Yoo Hai Jin is an acting god.
As I see more of his films, he keeps moving up my fave actors list.
His range is extraordinary.

I only recently saw "The King's Warden," and was happy to see he won the Baeksang for it.
He deserved it.

Yes, I read up on it online.
"Frustrating and gory" are why I want to watch it. :D
I like movies that challenge me, even if eventually things go too far in either the confusing/frustrating, or gore departments and I drop out.
I dropped out of the successful, popular Korean film, "I Saw the Devil," for that reason. Gore for gore's sake is not my thing.

I have been watching the silly/horny BL, "Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami," which stars the lead of this film. I like what he's doing in that show and was intrigued to check out a film that sounds like the opposite of "Fukami." :)

Oh.
I was just trying to be informative. :)

You: "...the film got a 7 minute standing ovation at cannes, which is a good sign..."

gregoreuo1: "*6 to 10 Minutes: This is the festival average for a well-received film."

You: "I...don’t think the applause is that significant."

Me: LOL

If, as I am beginning to suspect, you are on the "Hope" marketing/PR team, you should be fired. :D

This part:

"the audience sat through 2 hours and 40 minutes in complete silence and spontaneously applauded at least three action sequences mid screening before the credits even rolled."

How do you know this? What is the source?

Hilariously terrible. :)

FL is as dull an actress as I've seen.
ML is not far behind.
Sex scenes were nearly raunchy/explicit enough to justify watching everything else.
Not even any real nudity, which is too bad, because the ML naked might have made up for some of the problems I mentioned.
Terrible script.

Why do so many Thai films feature actors taking huge pauses between lines to each other? Just listening to them nearly drove me to slumber.

The bones of this story could be a hot sex thriller in the hands of a better filmmaker, maybe someone out of KO/JP/TW/HK.

4/10

Thank you, but I tried watching a flick raw once, and found it more frustrating than anything, as if I were only getting half the story, if that.

I do appreciate it, though.

So, tons of online complaints about cheezy CGI are 100% unfounded?

Well reported. :)
I didn't know applause times at Cannes were so meaningless unless they go over ten minutes. lol

How do you know all this?

I will check it out.
Thank you! :)

Those are some of the shades of gray I was talking about.

Not really into paying for it, but thanks. :)
