I was confused 95% of the time when watching this movie!

Before watching this movie, I've seen the male lead on kisskh voting list, as one of the most attractive Korean actors. Up until watching this movie, I hadn't watched any movie or drama that he acted in. WOW! He is VERY attractive; just seeing him in photos alone you probably will not get why a lot of people find him attractive. However, once you see in a movie/drama, you'll understand the reason why. Within the first 6 minutes of this movie, I was like, wow this man is fine! The male lead attractiveness, the visuals (shots), and the cast acting is as good as it gets (seriously). I was totally confused by 95% of this movie (mainly the script). I get the James Bond & Godfather vibes the director envisioned. However, I don't think the script held its weight. I wanted to drop this movie 3 times before reaching where I am now (the 1 hour 47 minute mark). While I am curious to know what happens in the end, I just think it'll bring more confusion.

This is my first review, so it’s not the best.
The best thing about the movie is the acting and casting. The characters were decently portrayed. All the actors did a great job on their part, and it’s what mainly kept me watching.

The part that is very lacking is the plot and storyline. I couldn’t understand what was happening most of the time and WHY it was happening. I can’t even give you a summary because nothing flowed together and wasn’t coherent. Sorry for my limited amount of vocabulary, but it just was confusing to follow along. If it was supposed to be some thriller psychological movie, I couldn’t get that. The fighting, or action scenes were poorly shot and executed. I didn’t look strong or eye catching enough, but rather weak and boring. They could’ve done better with it.

The production was good, and looked high quality. I did enjoy the lighting and tone of the drama.

It’s definitely for mature audiences, as in you’re at least 16 because there are explicit scenes. I haven’t watched many Korean or Asian movies like this so I really have nothing to compare it too. Overall, the movie didn’t feel like a movie but more of nice looking clips of people being hot put together. So don’t expect to be very intrigued the whole entire time if you do plan on watching it.

Wow...what a movie.

Now, before I start, I just want to say that this review is subjective. It is not a disincentive for you to not watch this movie.
Real, is one hell of a movie.
Real, in my mind, 1st watch, was about--sex, drugs, gambling, mob, Kim Soo Hyun. The amount of unrealistic bed scenes in here was too much. But I understand why it was added for some of them.
Real is confusing for me. Now after I was done watching the movie, I read some of the reviews listed underneath here. It makes sense now why Real was so confusing.
If you're looking for a movie that has a easy-to-grasp plot, this isn't it.
The plot is here, unlike what other said. It's just difficult to find. The writer/director decided to create this movie in a difficult way, therefore only few know what the plotline is.
That's why I wasn't one of them.
I couldn't grasp the plot until, what, maybe 10 minutes left of the movie? I had only just known, then, that Siesta was a drug used to get high. The antagonist plot, I didn't get at all. But, once again, if you pay attention to the movie (which I clearly didn't enough), you will understand the movie at a better level.
The acting--Kim Soo Hyun continues to impress me. He portrays the two characters so differently--without changing their physical appearance. The way the two talk, smack their gum in their mouth, their eyes and how they act on their own, their reactions to events--they are different. And that's something that I was amazed by. Jang Tae Young was acted greatly by him.

I think the movie wasn't that bad! In fact i loved the fact it made me think and wonder.

PLOT:
The plot was interesting but was presented in a really complicated way, so naturally only small amount of  people will actually like it.
ACTING:
The acting was  good. I'm not  Kim Soo Hyun fan, but i think he did really amazing job here.
MATURITY:
Yes! There were a lot of naked bodies, but I think that was suited for the movie style. The colors and cinematography left me with certain feeling of being drugged - which is one of the main consent of the movie.
ROMANCE:
The romance in the movie was the perfect background for the difference between the protagonists. I loved it! I haven't  seen other movies with such strong and in the same time blur love element.
DIRECTING:
I think displaying such a idea on screen is too big for first movie. So i can only cheer Lee Sa Rang and wait for his other movies.
MAKE UP:
I hated the make up! Pi Dae Seong really fucked some of the moments. Sinning lips all over!
FIGHT:
I laugh a lot. It was like one punch man who had mastered the best matrix moves. - Bad ass and unreal.

Is it worth to watch?

The ratings and reviews of this drama are commonly low. For some reason, people didn't find this drama a good movie. Instead, people hated it. Now this is my honest and personal opinion about this movie.

I think this drama would end up well if the story wasn't confusing. When I watched it, I asked myself 'why people hated this drama when the actors did a very good job on acting'. Well the answer is simple...just because the story was a shit. I literally think this drama would change a lot of perspective in kdramas and I would consider it as one of those hollywood movie IF the story wasn't CONFUSING. I am so confused of their past, the reasons and how things end up that way. I am sooooo CONFUSE on their identities and which is who or which is the REAL. Also the ending suck so bad! This is literally a 2hr drama and they gave us a very CONFUSING and piece of shit ending like can someone explain me the situation!?This movie was failure! How can they provide a 2hr movie and still is very confusing. I did not understand a single thing about it.

Now if you ask me, is this movie or drama worth to watch!? In my case, I only watched it because I was intrigued on why this movie has a low rating when the cast is Kim Soo Hyun? But all in all there was nothing interesting on it.
It's not for me to decided because you never know, someone might actually understand on what the f is going on in that movie. That person is a legend!
So if you ask me, go watch it! it's not that bad if you ignore the shitty confusing part. Cause for me? I only survived watching that just beacuse Kim Soo Hyun looks so attractive in this movie and Sulli is so gorgeous but other than that everything was a SHIT. anyway thanks for reading my OPINION :)

Cynically ambiguous--just keep in mind it's about mental disorder.

without reading the reviews, maybe i too would be devastatingly confused. but knowing the plot about mental disorder, every event is understandable especially in conflicting with oneself who's REAL. In the end, one may be invincible and beating every conflict except the "self" and there's no other choice but to let it loose. nice adult movie and good actors.

I would agree with other reviews that the movie is quite dragging. 2 long hours is really too long to build the other self and to be in conflict to the old self or which one is the REAL self. but the ambiguity of the plot really depends on the viewers' perspective. looking at the BPD mental condition, every personality has its own fears that haunts them. it also has its own personal desires that they want to consummate. yet in the end, when these personalities collide, they can conquer all their fears and desires but they could not conquer themselves. (could not kill one other personality).

I haven't known the actors, main lead or support alike. i just stumbled in the recommendation from The Untamed chinese drama. Still, the casts portrayed their roles well, including the "heavy" scenes. I have been watching kdramas and kmovies in a typical conservative acting. that is why i admire the casts for having been performing the explicitly obscene erotic scenes.

Rewatch value supposedly low (4/10) but like what other clamor for not understanding the movie, i set it to 8. although i did not watch it again because you can understand the circumstances if you think that its about the mental disorder. if i haven't read previous reviews, i myself would watch it again just to understand the story. beyond that, i will not spend another 2hours to watch it again.

Overall, it's really a good movie depending on your own perspective towards BPD. It's up to you to read between the lines of the story. Again, just bear in mind that it is the about the one with mental disorder. With the character's mental condition, (between "the thug" and "the mummy") it's up to you also which one is REAL.
