I saw this at Helsinki International Film Festival last Wednesday.
This film was hyped a bit, but I see no reason for that. This film is below average. It dwells on the same idea without adding any more new interesting substance on it. I got pretty bored pretty quickly just because of that. The acting seems so forced from the girls' part. The one playing the father did a good job, but it doesn't save this film from disaster. I live in a modern society where the virginity of the woman doesn't play so important role any more. So the idea of the father killing the repriever of his girl's purity seems so strange for me. I know this still happens in many parts of the world today, but this film is placed at modern Korean society. If this had happened like 100 or so years ago, I wouldn't mind but hey we are living in the 21th century now. This would have been an excellent idea for a historical novel, but not one for a 120 minute's film.
