I didn't watch the original, but I watched the US remake and I liked it. I couldn't finish this one as it was very similar, and I can't see how the identity of the villain would be a twist if you can recognize his voice right away, they didn't even use something to hide it, unless there is no twist which makes it boring. I don't think I'll be able to finish it.
Also, I feel bad to say this but Jo Woo Jin is no Liam Neeson.
It's not bad but it is quite long and boring. If you've seen any movie that touches the same subject as this, you have seen this one. It is quite predictable, and the characters are always doing what you expect them to do. The events don't gradually happen, they just throw everything the character needs on its way. I wish real life was this simple where everything gets solved magically by just living it. I know I'm being negative, but I just expected it to be better. This is what you expect from a Korean drama, not a movie.
please only make it about the kids. the rest turned it into trash
I'm pretty sure it's a taste thing. Personally, I preferred the adults' stories. I would zone out when it's about the kids because they were quite uninteresting to me since I don't like high school romance/drama. I don't think they would get rid of all these brilliant actors just because some people didn't like to watch their background stories, especially since they are the reason most people decided to watch it in the first place.
I think the director had to make a lot of compromises due to the long gap between releases of part 1 and 2. I'd…
The recap was needed believe me, I had to watch a summary video on YouTube just so that I can remember who is who. I lost track of who was evil and who was good. But I think if he just combined them into one movie he wouldn't have needed the recap. The first part and the second without fillers and recaps can make a 3 hour movie which is quite common for movies and not bad.
Hmm... people... people...low budget, high budget...did you give them money? You guys complain about everything
Technically, if you watch it on an official website you did give them money. They invest their money for the drama to garner attention to pay what they have already paid. No one is complaining about the drama anyway, it's just an observation.
I enjoyed it a lot, but I really don't agree with the final message. Criminals could be victims and victims could…
Yes, stalking is a crime, but he didn't deserve to be murdered for it. He was both a criminal and a victim at the same time. The detective isn't doing her job properly if she thinks otherwise.
I enjoyed it a lot, but I really don't agree with the final message. Criminals could be victims and victims could be criminals too. It's a scary world we live in, if once you commit a crime you lose your right to claim you're a victim.
It's marked as a remake in MDL which is weird. Hopefully this is not an exact remake. I just watched the original, and it will be boring to see it twice but in a different format. It actually doesn't make sense for the same actor to play the exact same story twice. The original wasn't even that old. Why not do a continuation? The story didn't really end in the film.
is this good or is it another pretentious netflix thriller?
Pretentious is actually the perfect word to describe it. It's a masterpiece-wannabe. Great actors, stupid story that only made to seem more sophisticated than it is, but in fact lacks logic and full of plot holes. The acting is the only good thing about it.
This is the type of shit one should watch when they are depressed
I know variety shows have their audience, but for those who are depressed, try watching Running Man from the beginning. It helped me plenty, and I know I'm not the only one.
Full subbed: http://www.dramacool.com/big-match-2014-episode-1.html Well, it's just action, but nothing original…
Just wondering after 10 years, have you changed your mind about Korea is no USA at the end of the day? Just curious as their movies got a lot better, some even would say that they are better than Hollywood.
