Ma Deong Seooookkk!!!
Got bored at work and surprisingly, I was able to finish a movie. LOL. 😂
I’ve seen one scene from this movie everywhere on my social media since IDK when, but I always knew I wanted to watch it one day. Well, today is that one day. 😂 And honestly, I had quite a lot of expectations going into this.
First, it’s made in Korea. Second, it has Ma Dong-seok. So yeah, I was expecting something good. 😂
And well, it did NOT disappoint.
It was such a quick watch that I didn’t even notice I was already done. The pacing was good, and even when the story slows down a little, there was always something that kept me interested.
Acting-wise, no questions. They did great. The cinematography? No questions again. Everything looked good, especially during the intense scenes.
For the storyline, I’m not really familiar enough with the subject to say whether everything was realistic, but one thing I know is that while watching it, I actually felt like, “Yeah, this could really be happening.” The way they delivered the story made it believable enough for me to get immersed in it.
Some might say the plot is predictable, and I honestly won’t disagree. You can probably figure out where some things are going. But even knowing that, the tension and the way the scenes were executed still kept me hooked. For me, that’s what matters. A predictable story can still be enjoyable if it knows how to build the tension and keep you invested.
And of course, having Ma Dong-seok there definitely helps. 😂 You already know you’re going to get those satisfying action moments, and he delivered.
Overall, this was a really enjoyable and easy watch. I came in with expectations because of all the clips I had seen online, and thankfully, it actually lived up to them.
Not bad for a random “I’m bored at work, let me watch a movie” decision. HAHAHAHA. 😂
