what kind of plot is that?
i get it, ig they trynna tell the reality of loan sharks or whatever but the plot was soo lacking im dumbfounded, for example the FL’s friend, why were they not friends anymore? she really was stalking her going wherever she went but i get that she was trying to help her but still? also i dont get how the bully/villian made the students not pay back, he just said trust me and then everyone went to the police what the hell was that? then the ending so so cofunsed, they showed some short clips that didn’t even make sense except that epilogue, the loan shark is gonna do his filthy work nevertheless… the only thing i actually liked was the acting and the actors i love them all they are the only reason i watched it lolWas this review helpful to you?

Simple films with a clumsy protagonist.
It's a movie with a simple premise and a well-known cast. We have to praise Yoo In Soo's consistently exceptional and well-developed performance as the villain in this film. Everyone knows that this actor usually plays comedic roles, but whenever he portrays villains, he transforms himself. In other words, he's an actor with great stage presence who can seamlessly transition from humor to drama and vice versa.Now, it's necessary to mention that Yoo Sun Ho's performance as the film's protagonist is very lacking and stiff. It seems like he's holding back. He portrayed a very monosyllabic and emotionless protagonist.
The film has its flaws, for example, what's the backstory of Da Young's "stalker friend"? In three minutes, that could have been explained and developed. It felt somewhat random. What's the significance of that epilogue? What important post-film finale factor does that scene have?

Disappointing...Wasted potential because of weak writing and unclear intention
After watching this movie, I am mourning the lost potential of what could have been an exciting and dark story mixing loan sharks and high school bullying. Not sure if it is the fault of the script, the editing or both, but unfortunately the pacing of this film was all over the place. The stakes were pretty slow to be put in place and the ending felt rushed. The ending left me unsatisfied by the lack of morale and overall character growth. At the end, I'm not sure what the intention of the story was and that's a bit of a bummer.The acting was not exceptional but satisfying given the writing issues. Yoon Seon Ho is clearly carrying the movie on his shoulder and is doing a good job depicting the anguish in which his character is constantly living. Yoo In Soo is excellent and I wish his role was better written in order to give him more room to play, especially at the end. Next to them, the females and villains roles lacked charisma.
I would not recommend this movie as I feel the pacing and writing were quite lacking. If you like Yoon Seon Ho and/or Yoo In Soo, it might be worth giving it a shot for them.
