This is the only Korean film I have ever seen. I was expecting everything to be unfamiliar, but it felt very North American -- just dubbed into Korean. Oddly it reminded by of Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing. There are cast of sharply defined, eccentric characters including a janitor who likes to make dog soup, a pregnant wife who imagines her pregnancy makes her queen of the universe. She commands, and her husband must obey. She is so rude and so full of herself! There is what amounts to a female sumo wrestler. There is an athletic tomboy who dreams of performing some heroic deed and going on TV. There is an elderly lady who prepares her chihuahua gourmet meals while she goes without.
The opening credits promise that no animal was harmed in the making of the movie. However, there is considerable violence against dogs that is completely convincing. Most dog lovers will not want to see this movie because these scenes are so shocking.
The movie would work better edited shorter. It drags somewhat at the end. It goes on and on.
