Reviews

There are these life and death situations which are somewhat interesting / exciting. Most times, at least, but all in all it is a huge massacre of many 20 year-old beach bodies. They are either in bikinis to give it some spice or in two episodes a good-looking guy appeared full naked. And even so it is simply boring. Especially the irrelevant dialogues in-between. Not worth the time.

I haven't finished it yet but I am not particularly interested in the outcome either. I guess it is more interesting for people in their twenties.

I still have to write 46 characters for this review to be sent off, so I wish you all a great day and I reached the character limit:)

It took me months to get ready to watch this series. Not because of the very 'dramatic' storyline but because I hated the appearance of the main male character so much. I hated the extravagant clothes he was wearing, his over-styled hairdo, the rings and bracelets he had, not to mention his arrogant, irritating behaviour (about this part I only had assumptions based on the poster and the description of the series). Please, don't get me wrong, I don't prefer bearded cavemen with zero personal hygiene but the main character's looks was a bit too much for my liking. It became clear though that these accessoires were only used to make him look more ridiculous. After the first couple of episodes I was sure that the 2nd leading male actor: Yoon Kye-Sang had no chance of winning the leading lady's heart because of his schoolboy appearance. In my opinion he looked even younger than in his 2004 film debut: 'Ballet gyoseubso' as opposed to the leading man who was clearly somewhat older and manlier too. I thought that if he could have looked like in these movies: Poongsan, Beomjoidosi or Good wife, he could have had a better chance to win this 'competition'. (For those who haven't watched these movies yet: in 'Poongsan' he was a good-looking silent 'saviour', in 'Beomjoidosi' he was a sexy beast and in 'Good wife' he had the look of an attractive, sophisticated business man). But then I had to realize that it is again the old cliché: the character is more important than the appearance. His character here was unrealistically good: he was decent, kind, he thought that the red-headed but sly actress was attractive but he wasn't after her - moreover he kept refusing her constant approaches. He was a bookworm, with rather boring interests like doing a puzzle. I would say that his character was a tiny bit too soft, rather feminine. On the other hand, the movie star was loud, rude, temperamental and mostly egoistic, but he was also surprisingly self-aware and he was able to admit if he made a mistake or said something wrong. So I would say that Yoon Kye-Sang's character was too perfect to be true and this is why he never had a real chance (obviously apart from the fact that the film makers didn't want to couple him up with the short-haired main actress, hahah). I enjoyed this series very much, it was really witty and had a lot of hilarious moments. The game with the phone number was every time funny. For me it was a 9 out of 10 points entertainment.

I found the concept brilliant. Many monsters of all sizes and shapes with different abilities. I also loved the characters or loved to hate some of them. My only problem was that around the middle the story became slower. There were some interesting background stories which made up for it, but still, I think maybe some more monsters could have appeared in order to fill the space. I didn't like that some scenes were just cut off. For example: two characters were struggling with a monster, one of them was willing to sacrifice himself (if necessary), so the other character could go and help the others. The camera goes with the 2nd guy and the other one is left alone with the monster. The 2nd guy then does, what he has to do and later on the first guy joins the group. As if nothing had happened before. I would have expected to see some details about how he managed to get away and get rid of the monster he was fighting against. I have the same problem with the end. The main character gets shot at and he is badly injured, then all of the sudden he is in a back of a car. I would have liked to see how he managed to get into the car. Despite of these it was a refreshing little tale and hope to get a second season - with a plenty more monsters.

I really liked this series. First of all the zombies are not the usual slow-motion lame creatures, they are very quick. Secondly the story adds up like a puzzle and every episode provides some more pieces to the whole picture. The favorite thing for me was that the biggest villain was hidden and appeared only at the end. I read that it was censured and it was not allowed to have too gory scenes. Well, I don't know which scenes were left out because it had quite a lot spectacular killing moments. I hope it will be continued soon.

The main character overdid everything. He smiled, laughed and talked too much. He appeared childish and mostly irritable but as the film progressed it became clear that he simply tried to hide his insecurities and loneliness. In the end he dropped the act and that transformed this somewhat awkward person to a vulnerable and sympathetic one. Especially because of the last scenes I loved this little movie and his character too.

I found the main male character very attractive, the leading lady on his side not so much - but there was an undeniable chemistry between them and as the story progressed it became obvious that she was born to play this part. I didn't find the guy too smug, he had confidence which is required in his job. It must be a cultural thing that those who don't bow low enough when they meet, are considered to be arrogant, I guess. In my opinion he behaved completely normal. It is a very entertaining series and I would have wished a clear happy end, not just a half one. Maybe a second season could bring more clarity to the issue.

I read a bad review about this movie therefore I didn't have high hopes for it. It has similarities with the Ghost movie but it wasn't that soppy. After the first hour or so it becomes obvious to which direction the movie goes. So for me (since I hoped for a better ending) it was too sad. Despite of this it still had some hilarious moments. 10/7

I only watched the first two episodes. It was sort of nice, the main character is likeable but the story is nothing new really. The 'frightening' scenes were predictable. What I didn't understand: why does the main woman character have to wear this ridiculous wig? I mean when I saw the red-haired woman my very first thought was that her wig looks so unnatural. I think the other leading woman's hair was also a wig. I am not a hairdresser and I am not very interested in hairdos so I think this clearly shows how exiting the series is.

I didn't know what to expect from the film's summary. The first half of the movie is how he gets out and delivers the woman who is meant to be the 'big love' of an important older man (who by the way seems very sympathetic at the beginning but he becomes less and less while the story progresses). If someone yearns for 'heated conversations' between the main characters, then it will be a huge disappointment because the male character in lead doesn't say a word throughout the whole movie. I think there would too much to say therefore he rather remains silent. Anyway, after the woman is delivered, it turns out that the older lover boy is not as gentle as he seemed and she would rather return to North Korea. Unfortunately it never happens. The way the main character deals with the opposing parties is brilliant though and very comical. It is a very sad and desperate story of people who are forced into overwhelming situations and they appear to be 'chess figures' on a board without having any influence on their own lives.

I love 'domino tiles' movies when one mistake leads to a bigger one and the main character tries to get hold of the situation but he just worsens it and continues making even bigger and graver mistakes. This movie is pretty much like that. The main guy didn't want to face the consequences of his fault so everything goes downhill. There were very unexpected turns and scenes where you would have thought, I know what happens next but then something very different occurred. It's a very entertaining movie, worth watching.

The first couple of minutes look like being in a hitman game, only with a female character. But after this the camera view turns to normal and the main character becomes visible too. I found the film rather interesting. About in the middle it gets clear who the main bad guy is, only not for the main female character. I expected it worse, so for me it was a surprisingly dynamic and watchable movie. 7 / 10

It is a very dark journey but I haven't seen anything like this before. The actors, the atmosphere are all excellent. 10/10

This movie is simply fantastic. The actors look very authentic, the choreography, the scenes, everything. There are even funny moments in it. Very good, definitely a must-watch movie.

It was nice to watch an old-fashioned comedy where there were no vulgar speaking and discusting scenes. I can't say that it was very funny. maybe it was back in 2011 but for me it was just a nice movie with nice actors in it. It is worth watching though.

I read a very positive review about this film before I watched it, so maybe that too added to my overall disappointment. I found the character Poppy very annoying. An irritating person who giggles all the time even though she doesn't have any reason to it. I mean, I understand that she was supposed to be a very happy, optimistic person but she was just irritating. She also mocked the driving instructor and constantly ignored his requests. That man looked as if he would explode any moment during the whole movie. In the end he exploded too and that finally washed away the silly giggling from Poppy's face. The overall presentation of her being happy I found very unrealistic and artificial. It was simply too much. And not to mention her clothing. She looked like a skinny Vicky Pollard. I understand that she wanted to show that people shouldn't take themselves so serious and we all should keep our 'childish' side but the way she did it, that was way too much and tiresome.

I had no expectation at all, maybe that's why I was positively surprised. It is really very action-packed. Chris does everything, he gets shot, beaten up, even hit by a car, he bleeds and gets injuries but he just keeps going. No one can stop him. The same must be true about the camera man, who must have danced around the fist fights and run after the characters - this is how it looks at least. It seemed very realistic, I can't remember seeing anything like this before. It was like being in the same room with the actors and really standing next to them when they were fighting each other. The last couple of scenes were not necessary in my opinion, but it didn't harm the film and maybe, will there be a sequel?
