Kim Woobin’s dengan karakter barunya
Meski kim woobin gak seaktif actor lain, dia jadi salah satu actor non skip buat gua. 90% drama/filmnya dia selalu gua tonton. Film ini cukup refreshing sih mengingat kebanyakan kim woobin difilm/drama tuh karakternya fierce. Kadang suka nyelenah, dingin, atau sengak tp disini enggak.Kayanya sih ini pertama kalinya dia berkarakter innocent dengan positive vibe bahkan bukan cuma script tapi raut muka dan gelagat dia pun berkarakter baik, lumayan wow nontonnya. Kerennya dia mampu ngebangun gairah anak muda yang belum banyak pengalaman tergambar dalam film ini. Disini gua gak tau umurnya Jung Do tp gua menduga antara dia gak lama baru lulus sekolah atau kemungkinan gak lebih dari maksimal 27th.
Gua suka banget disini peran senior, bokap dan temen2nya Jung Do tuh dapet semua di porsinya masing2, serasa Jung Do tuh anak baik2 yang dikelilingi orang2 yang care dan udah mengakui eksistensi dia.
Gua juga suka sama garis besar masalah sosial yang diangkat dalam film ini, kasus kejahatan seksual emang makin hari makin nambah, Kalo kita gak super aware pasti akan terus berkembang dan jadi sebuah hal yang biasa buat orang2 aneh itu.
Yang jelas film ini cukup masuk dalam standar menghibur. Upliftingnya juga dapet. Gak kepengen banyak kritik karna gua rasa ngemas pake durasi film dengan hasil kaya gini ya udah bagus.

"I want to do everything in my power. No regrets."
I am one of those people who thought this was a kdrama, and when I finished this movie, I STILL think it should've been a kdrama.I was so intrigued by Kim Woobin's character, his friends, his boss and the people that surround him at work---I wanted to know their stories, their families, motivations and how they, too, might continue to inspire others. This is one of the major themes of the movie, which inspires us to find intention in what we do as a living beyond the simple happiness we might find from it. Because the one thing that transcends happiness is the ability to share the pouring passion from your heart and watch as this passion transfers and glows in someone else. Thanks to Officer Jeongdo's dad for that, by the way. Their scenes together as father and son made me cry.
As a sucker for action films, this definitely reached my expectations and I was excited to see how he combined moves from his holy trinity black belts in taekwondo, judo, and kendo. The action scenes were well-orchestrated and made it believable enough that he could take down tens of men at a time.
Now, the surface issue is presented as monitoring ex-convicts with ankle monitors for any suspicious activity, and to especially be on high alert for those with a high chance of committing the same crime. The deeper issue tackles at Korea's criminal justice system, which gives out way too generous sentences for serial rapists and rapists, period. 20 years for permanently damaging 15 children's lives really made me scoff.
But it's true, this is happening as we speak and it's important movies and dramas like this have been bringing light to the issue----recently No Way Out has done it as well. That's why I thought the movie deserved more storytelling that could possibly dive not just into our beloved main characters' lives, but also the journey to combating the system.
That's enough of my spiel though, and my real review is that this was a fast-paced, heavy-themed, but motivational movie. It makes room for you to ponder these issues like I did, appreciate the amazing action performances, and grieve after being emotionally wrecked. The lighthearted comedic moments give you a little bandaid in-between. I love Kim Woobin's simple-minded character so much, even his life motto is so simple, which is to "have fun" at everything he does. And it's crazy how much character development we got from him in less than 2 hours, because beyond this "fun" bloomed his purpose to continue serving, saving, and inspiring.
Hats off to this amazing cast for bringing this movie to life.

Kim Woo Bin is back!
I’m glad I finally decided to watch this, it’s good to see KWB back on screen, I prayed that he gets better & makes a comeback. This movie aside from his upcoming series with Suzy are my much awaited projects.This could easily be turned into a series meaning it’s that good in my opinion. Emotions are all there happiness, laughter, sorrow, anger, love for family & friends, and so forth.
All cast did magnificent, it may be too gory for some but I’ve always enjoyed anything crime related, and this is quite a sensitive issue that involves minors, and has been really a problem not just in Korea. It was intense, but at the same time I felt every emotion in this movie.
if you have the time I hope you give it a try and watch it for yourselves. Good job KWB!

Esta wena pero no taanto
PARA EMPEZAR: Vi esta película con mi mamá y me pareció entretenida para tomar tecito en la tarde, pero a los días se me olvido que existía hasta que la vi acá asi que toco darle una review. >>•1.Este drama es la típica peli que está en Netflix sobre gente peleando con personas malas y pues senti que era una más del montón, lo que me llego a atrapar en algunos momentos fue el tema que aborda la película pero más de eso no me llamo la atención.
•2.La actuación del policía estubo buenisima (el poli tmb aajekek) y pues estuvo muy wuapo asi que le doy mas estrellas, agregaré que me encanto el cambio de look que le dieron al protagonista porque el pelo que llevaba antes no me gustaba nada la verdad (ahora si esta bien wapote).
•3.Respecto a la trama, no me pareció nada mal y me hizo encariñarme con algunos personajes, me gusto que el protagonista cuando veía a alguien en problemas no dudaba en ayudarlo. No me arrepiento de verla, byebye.
...
La recomiendo? Maso (recomendaria otras)
La volvería a ver? Nop
7-8/10

Passion is what we need.
It is definitely 8.5 .It starts with a very fun premise with a lot of trigger warnings that I can digest.For a person who seeks for crime solving dramas and a lot of action,I think you will definitely suck up this one.It has lot of emotions and a lot of dark theme despite being a light hearted base to the characters.I loved it,in such kind of movies-i prefer to ignore plotholes even though there is a lot because I got the main idea iterated by the movie.-1.5 is because of a weak wrap.Like,sure it is good but it would have been better if the plot extended or added an element that would have completed the story.I know every single life is important but to save a single little girl child there was only one policeman fighting for life.While two other lives was hanging by thread because thugs created a diversion.I know it might happen in real life and it does but then no normal citizens throw their life to save lives and in this movie there are four.So yes ,it wants to take a realistic approach but failed because of the famous “ragtag group takes down the criminals” troupe.So,setting aside all these plotholes ,this was definetely a must watch for me.Was this review helpful to you?
fast paced but meaningful
did great on the cool fighting choreos and the korean style of emotional punch delivered by a very likeable character. gentle giant kim woobin was soooo satisfying to watch. it's fast paced and is not a film that aims for a specific depth, so it didn't require a lot of thinking.would really love this as a mini series (8 episodes)

Sound of Freedom
This movie deserves every recommendation, and I want to join the praises with a brief review. The producers know how to capture the audience's attention and evoke emotions. This is pure action with a moderate dose of humor but also a lot of seriousness, especially in the second half when we follow criminals committing very serious crimes. No one can remain indifferent when watching children in danger. This movie reminded me of the excellent *Sound of Freedom*.In short, this movie works excellently both as entertaining action and as a social commentary on criminals on probation after being released from prison. The main actor, Kim Woo-bin, who plays Lee Jeong-do, managed to stand out with his charisma among much more experienced actors, and it’s nice to see his maturation through the experiences he gains in the movie.

Should you watch it?
Not the kind of show I would watch but decided to watch because of the hype.In terms of pacing and writing it’s really good and also the basis of the story being centered around probation officers, martial artists who monitors possible offenders that might do recidivism is really a unique storyline of unsung heroes who usually go unnoticed. One thing that is believable about this movie is the mc’s father and director motivation to inspire others as well protecting the less vulnerable is very commendable and it doesn’t feel too forced upon or cringy. There isn’t really a boring moment in the movie which did make me guess how much more dangerous will the next offender be.
Mc has really good group of friends and support group so it was nice to see that their friendship isn’t only limited to hanging out playing games and eating out but it goes beyond that. They were willing to go the distance to help mc when it comes to catching the serial rapist. Mc’s relationship with the director was also wholesome and cute as they looked out for one another.
Overall, I can see why some might enjoy this as there are mix of light-hearted moments, good-hearted Mc and a unique storyline.

emocionante, inspirador & triste.
eu não estava dando nada para esse filme, comecei assistir apenas para tentar encontrar algo para aliviar o meu tedio, mas agora olhando para trás, eu fico contente por escolhido dar play nesse filme, estou em uma obsessão de ver filmes um pouco mais emocional, mas esse também carrega o alivio em algumas cenas que me ajudou muito a não ficar só chorando e pensando negativamente, o personagem principal é inspirador, eu ri um pouco com ele e os amigos deles, mas quando ele se mostrou tão motivado a tentar ajudar os outros e percebeu que era aquilo que o fazia feliz, fez meu coração palpitar e eu percebi o que eu realmente quero fazer no futuro.jogos e coisas emocionantes podem ser divertidas e ocupar nosso tempo, mas perceber que com nossas ações podemos melhorar a vida de outra pessoa e fazer ela continuar a viver mesmo nos momentos difíceis sem queremos receber nada em troca, é a maior emoção que podemos sentir e nenhum jogo ou coisas momentâneas é capaz de substituir ou igualar esse sentimento.
eu adorei cada momento do filme e chorei e sorri em várias cenas, espero que algum dia no futuro eu seja capaz de proporcionar a proteção ou algum sentimento em alguma pessoa igual o personagem principal faz.
