You know it's hard to give a review when I don't even know what the movie is about even after watching it. The way the scenes were put together were so choppy and made following the story very difficult! That being said, I did somehow enjoy watching the movie and never found myself bored. The acting was fantastic by everyone but especially Bae Soo Bin and Kim Byul. Their characters were very strange so they managed to pull it off really well. Although I didn't like the unpredictable ending, Id still watch this again cause i love the cast.

Well it is hard to review this but somehow I feel I should.
I watched this almost two years ago, because Kim Beom was in it.
I think the cast was good: as I read in other reviews, you could feel the emotions while they were acting.
But the thing is I couldn't understand the subject of this movie.
The events goes on more or less logically but in the end you aren't able to understand what the movie is telling you, or what you should have understand.
If someone asks me "What is this movie about?", I probably would answer: "Two guys in love that act in a weird way because you can't totally understand why she becomes mad and why he becomes that kind of 'bad' guy."
The only thing I well remember after two years is the weird mood in wich this movie pulled me in.
I felt somehow anxious, and I was disapointed too, I don't know why.
Anyway, I just think it is a movie that you like or don't like, that you understand or don't understand. I think I should rewatch it to find out something more!

I didn't understand this movie at all!! How bad as it seems I watched it for Kim Bum. But this wasn't going to work. I didn't even finished the movie. I was so lost! It went from scene to scene without any explanations.
The movie was also silent and I don't know, it was just horrible. If you want to watch it for Kim Bum, don't do it, because even with him you won't get trough the movie.

If I judged right, this is somehow a silent movie. And silent movies aren't exactly my cup of tea. There were too many unnecessary scenes. It was too tragic. At least the acting was great. I felt the guy's emotions but I was kind of wondering how an unconditional love was developed in him. I sympathize with the girl and her overly dramatic life. I pity the guy's best friend. This movie failed to make an impact.

I really love the acting of this movie... I got the story line, but I feel like they rushed through parts of it making it difficult to follow at some points. I think the directors and writers were trying to maker he movie flow with real time,and because of that it created confusion as parts of the storline were left out... However because e acting is SO GOOD it's almost as if you don't need to follow the story line in order to feel the characters emotions....

Apart from kim bum and his sexy self, this movie was just bad enough. The story line was mediocre and the acting was bad. There was no real foundation to build the story line. Every new scene was confusing as the last because we don't know what's goin on. How did he get unconditional love on this girl that he just met, who's the girl in the bar who says she loves him, wot happened to the charges. Seriously bad direction. I almost dint finish watching it

I am sooooo confused at what happened at the end. Did the girl die too??? The ending scene had the two of them so I was like... did she commit suicide after?
Besides that, it wasn't bad. Granted, now that I look back on it, it was almost a silent movie, but that wasn't a bad part of it. The scenes changed really quickly and for part of the time I couldn't tell what was happening or who was talking to who. That was a turn off. Also, I couldn't tell where he worked... the whole time I thought he was still a stripper who visited the bar and got drunk a lot.
The acting was pretty great though. I forgot the names already (maybe a bad sign) but the leading man was good at showing emotion, and the leading girl and the second-main girl were fantastic.
All in all, I don't think I'd watch it again, maybe only if I was desperate. But for the time being, I enjoyed it. The plot was very... twisted.
