Too many ingredients, but also too many questions. Definitely not a staple of the Korean thriller film

As a great lover and fanatic Korean thriller watching this World of Silence it was pretty much a MUST for myself. Unlike the Americans or British thriller that is earnest and focus only on a single direction, as Korean instead almost always are mixed and used too many ingredients, drama, comedy, melodrama etc .... this feature has always characterized the Korean film making it the most original, just not always the "mix too" comes out well And it is the case of World of Silence that he wanted to focus on too many things and leaving many more pending. For example, not much is known of the past of the characters, and I am referring especially to the mysterious character Ryu it would not hurt to deepen more, in fact, leaves the viewer a number of questions including the most important one concerning the suicide of his former girlfriend, in short scene that practically appears at the beginning of the film. The parties (say) a comic appearing ridiculous little, beautiful instead scuffle in public toilets metro which is pretty cool, the melodramatic part rather acceptable. Finally, by analyzing the part thriller (which is the main focus of the film) I can say that enough suspense and gives to those who are greedy of thrillers like me, will soon understand who the murderess. On this I got it to first shot I would not negatively condemn this film anyway because some find they are not bad and the acting of the characters is very credible (including an excellent Han Bo-Bae), just that compared to the numerous thrillers released in Korea from 2000 to date, no I consider it a great value and great film thickness, because despite everything there is, paradoxically, something is missing ...
