I don't know why I cried so much after the movie was over. The songs played during the credits coupled with the drawings  really hit home for me what happened to him as a whole and all that he lost. His family were terrible people and what they did was a terrible thing but it was so interesting seeing how they all in their own ways and for their own reasons, became a family with him. Watching him become more aware of his morality and taking a stand, it created this dilemma of who he wanted to stay faithful to. Finding out who Hwayi really was just deepened that to another level and broke your heart. I've got to give credit to Yeo Jin Goo, he is an excellent actor. And personally, I was super excited to see that Jo Jin Woong was in this movie. I loved! him in Signal (as we all did of course ????) and he was wonderful in this movie! Without his character, I think I wouldn't have felt as conflicted about the Day Breaker family as I do. I'm really surprised how much I loved this movie. It had just enough depth to make me think but not too much to take away from the action. I'm trying so hard not to spoil anything so this might sound confusing but I couldn't stop thinking about Im Hyoung Taek and his wife, the whole time just imagining all the pain they've gone through as the try to cling to every last shred of hope. Just heartbreaking.
