But why am I wishing for Dr. Kan to actually be the killer? ðŸ˜I feel like it could make for some interesting…
Yep, him and the shady nurse. We see the prologue scene where Thiu/Wasan kills that dying deer out of mercy. So, it be amazing if he gets into a moral dilemma over "mercy killing" and in the end starts supporting his boo.
If u read up on the actual case. this movie got so popular and there was so much backlash about the sentencing…
Exactly. When I say "harsher" I mean 2 of the 6 accused got life (they had gotten barely 1yr-ish, some fine and then reinstated back to their jobs) and the other 4 got off/acquitted because by the time of release and reinvestigation, Statute of Limitations had already passed. The abuse went as far back as 1960s, the movie came out in 2011 and final sentencing happened around 2012-13. . And the worst part is NOBODY was oblivious to the abuse, they were all involved and actively covering it up. Teachers, institution, local LE, politicians etc...the whole rotten system was in on it.
The biggest change that happened because of this movie was they took away the Statute of Limitations for Child/Disable Abuse cases.
Atrocious camerawork aside, it was weak but still not as bad some thai bls I've watched this year. I'll take sad music and a more or less complete story over garbled wafer-thing nonsense of a plot strung together with gratitous sex scenes. Just make a porn, no?
I totally expected it to have this exact ending maybe without qin xiao doing basically the same thingBut I really…
also, this is china. it's practically impossible to distance yourself from your bio parents, no matter how there are. it's basically a luck of draw if you get good parents. Filiel piety isn't just hammered into their heads since birth, it's also a law.
I'm sure you have heard of that news where the parents abandoned a daughter at birth, then tracked her down 20-25 yrs later and sued for a home because her adoptive parents had bought one for her (or she bought it for them) and they said her bio brother also deserved one. And they WON. Occasionally beating the crap outta your kid is probably not even in the top 100 worst things to be considered as child abuse.
Very hard to watch. And I think the scenes are too explicit for my taste.- The scenes when Min-su is being beaten…
This was based on the true events that happened, that were more or less covered up. This was their way of basically making a documentary about the ongoing issues, albeit with popular actors so it would get famous and the hidden abuse would come to light. It was SUPPOSED to graphic and horrible because the reality was much much worse.
The movie did manage to make a difference. They changed some parts of Korean laws, esp about child and institutional abuse (like capital punishment isn't allowed in schools anymore), and the teachers and institution shown here got harsher punishments for their crimes (yet, not even 1% to pay for the the lives they ruined).
Absolutely, not. This movie is based on true events - which were more or less covered up until this movie came out. If u want the happier version (not happy, but happier than the one shown here) it came about BECAUSE of this movie, and much much later.
I am absolutely devastated. The fact this was based on a true story makes me so unbelievably angry. I've always…
If u read up on the actual case. this movie got so popular and there was so much backlash about the sentencing - both local and international - that they reopened the investigation and some of the perps got harsher sentences. It's not enough - it never is - but at least it was better than what they got before. This movie is not suggest a movie, it's absolutely a vehicle of change and voice for the victims.
Jesus Christ. Stop making shit up. The number of baseless conteos people make here is braindead.First of all,…
Sometimes shows, not in China, but everywhere are realised to a small test audience (that why they have these early/first showings) and depending on the feedback they get from the test audience, they make minor or major changes. Extra footage is filmed if needed, shota are edited, soundtracks, maybe some reactions or dialogues. Sometimes even mystery plit twists and endings are changed. Even couples are changed if they are still filming, like, for eg, a multi-season drama like Friends.
If this show was taken out of schedule/release and then re-released, it means they got a feedback that some things needed to change. Censor board would review it again and rare accordingly. It's not a conspiracy, that's just how the industry works.

Scary Movie went with both detectives being the killers, but it's a parody, so....
