I can’t believe how much I laughed. It just kept getting more stupidly hilarious as it went on. The final scene was too funny. I am starting to think it was intentional

This is bad, doesn’t feel Korean at all, more like a dumb American B movie that happens to have Koreans in it. Even aspects like the shaman seem fake (which all makes sense since this is by an American).

Both lead actors are bad, but the present day one is laughably so (reminds me of watching an Ed Wood movie or a movie that is making fun of bad movies; an observation that could actually apply to the entire movie). Special effects also really cheesy.

I might have to adjust the ratings of my lowest rated movies. Worse than Killed My Wife which was the last movie that made me reconsider my lowest ratings…

Yet it is laugh out loud bad! It doesn’t give you that awful depressed feeling that happens when you have wasted your time on a truly awful movie. I can imagine this gaining midnight movie status with people quoting bad lines, dressing up like the devil worshipper, random cross eyed villagers and the whiny undead girl

Really enjoyable, stylish caper with a suave hero and a villain you love to hate (I shouted at the screen about his pure evil in one scene 😅).

I watched at https://amasian.tv/video/movies/gentleman/gentleman

Somehow the focus on physical perfection made this feel especially empty and creepy (not in a good way)

I found the foul mouthed English speaking finance bros annoying (maybe more so than intended) but the relationship between the MLs and how they both learn more about themselves and how they want to live their lives is the heart of the story which was ultimately very heartwarming and satisfying

Very entertaining and thrilling (as others said, like Signal). The contrast between ML in the past and the regretful ML of the future I found made it even more interesting and raised the stakes (it was his neglect in the past that led to his present so what could possibly happen to rectify the situation?). Worth watching!

It is listed as Next Door on Amazon Prime (US); I think it was just added

So sad, really brutal illustration of how hard life could be if you aren’t perfect (or perfectly compliant). The mother’s photo was so normal, very much an everywoman which made the end so devastating. The idea that the dad falsely believed he got away with murder was a humiliation far worse than the humiliation he previously believed he was suffering (and now I’m struck by how he was just raised to believe the worst so there probably was no other way out in his mind). Really haunting

I was laughing out loud for the first half hour, especially at Oh Jung Se’s fey performance! All the musical parts were enjoyable and evoked the era. So joyful and cute and the styles were hilarious as their career progressed

I agree with another comment here that the movie is 90 percent bullying. There is no real explanation of why the highly powerful ML waits so long to fight back? The end suggests there will be a sequel but why?

Also, who is this guy? I cannot find anything about the lead actor and I seriously wonder why this movie exists (and why Viki carries it)

Sad to see Park Sung Woong acting like a power mad moron but thrilling to see Yoo In Na in such a complex role! Yoon Se Ah is amazing!

The dorm situation to me played on young romantic dreams (of course you want to be trapped with the one you love!), with the hostage situation illuminating how our personal and political dreams can destroy both hope and life. The lively 1980s party and fashion, and the powerful wives, depicted the superficial fun and overwhelming fragility of the time

I’m not sure why I called out the magical barefoot greenskeeper. The magical Obi Wan Kenobi golfing guru in the woods was also corny

I really wonder what golfers would think of this. The “being one with the green” by golfing barefoot seems very corny.

Watching this for Park Sung Woong, who has a gentle Daddy Longlegs vibe in this very silly drama. I can’t find the manhwa to compare

The bromance is so pure and Park Sung Woong was amazing! He didn’t give off his usual energy iciness; when his meek and mild businessman facade fell it seemed like he went deeper and deeper into villain mode with each episode (by the last episode devolving into the mean punk he probably was before prison and meeting Choi). He really went all out! So impressive

Another good movie exploring regret, life choices, how social norms and limitations make it so hard to live the life you want (especially if you are artistic or creative), and how we may cope with that struggle in ways that damage relationships and ourselves. But with a hopeful ending that made my heart soar a little!

Also so neat to see some familiar ajusshis (Park Won Sang and Lee Eol) in their prime. So dreamy and handsome (especially Lee Eol, what a calming sensitive performance but PWS was also so cool)

I’m not sure I understood it. I think this was just showing his final thoughts and dreams as he anticipated the world ending (but the final scene suggests something else)

This link summarizes the story but not sure it helps: https://en.namu.wiki/w/부기나이트(2022)

I watched it for Park Sung Woong (whose role is more than a cameo IMO, he is ML’s dad, a cuddly yet hunky and perhaps slightly dumb house husband wearing only an apron and pants in his scenes, none of which I was expecting but welcomed!).

That and the nostalgic nature of the story does make it seem maybe more for older viewers. I thought it portrayed well young love, uncertain dreams and the sad way the mundane world can temper both

Nice seeing ML in a starring role! I thought it was an interesting exploration of how our wishes can damage others, and how selfish prayers can be even if we don’t intend to be that way (it’s just part of the curse of being human, which this movie illustrates in a depressing and sometimes bloody way)

I liked this one best of the last three Roundup movies…The cybercrime and online casino stuff was new and it was a fun contrast to ML’s old school ways. The final fight scene was also very satisfying!

Good action movie and though LJJ was terrific his role seemed tailor-made for Park Sung Woong
