An interesting tear-jerker story about friendship and character development for one of the most annoying protagonists in j-movies world.

A peculiar film full of raw violence and splatter, with a story that is quite familiar and predictable, presented in a rather complicated philosophical-ish and unbalanced way.
Thankfully, suave Dean Fujioka with a katana killing folks left and right, the old-style Kitano-like cinematography and the cleverly utilized music score saved the day!

An ambitious, tense and heavy thriller which was technically very appealing, but its story and characters were lacking...

As entertaining and funny as its prequel.
Always a pleasure to watch badass Ma Dong Seok beating the hell out of the bad guys, and a pleasant surprise to see Son Seok Koo in a dark, twisted role.
Perfect for a weekend night watch :)

Any time :)

The story had the typical school/sports inspirational and character development plot, but Kimutaku and Mitsushima Hikari made it more interesting and enjoyable!

Can a full action, violent film be so very funny and entertaining?
Yes, if it has badass Ma Dong Seok and smexy Yoon Kye Sang as the main leads!

The story is very predictable and intentionally tear-jerking, but it has Komatsu Nana, Kuroki Haru and Sakaguchi Kentaro, so it's not bad at all!

An omnibus of 8 women-centered stories (and their chairs).
Some of them were bizarre, some others touching, a few were dark and twisted, or symbolic and confusing, but this unorthodox approach was definitely gripping and challenging.
Definitely not for everyone...

Beautifully crafted thriller, with a solid web of fine threads of twists, cliffhangers and revelations during the fascinating journey to revenge of Kim Yo Han, a wrongfully accused judicial trainee.
Though the story may be a bit complicated and too dark and violent for some people, it draw me in since episode one.
Kudos to Kang Ha Neul's superb performance and transformation - he definitely knows how to pick intriguing projects!

I think none of the movie adaptations can beat the drama with Kuroki Haru's superb performance, but, like "Mio's Cookbook", it was an enjoyable culinary and historical ride.

An entertaining three women show, in a makjang chaebol revenge setting.
A promising premise that, with a more thorough script combing, would have been something more memorable.

Started strong and intriguing but somewhere in the middle became repetitive and draggy.
Perhaps trying to include so many different genres wasn't a good idea...
Too much crying, too many separations and reconciliations, too much back and forth.
But, despite its flaws it had some really good moments and the cast did a good job.

Unfortunately not as good as its prequel...
That uniquely bizarre, zany feeling and the character development were barely present in this one.
But, the actors' improvisations, synergy and bonding were clearly visible and praiseworthy!

Agreed! Both talented and charismatic.

Only for avid fans of Seo Hyun Jin!
Her powerful, elegant performance and her controversial persona was the best part of this average legal-revenge drama.
And, I must admit that I found her chemistry with the main antagonist played by veteran Heo Joon Ho so much better than that with her current or ex partner...

So good to see this lovely couple, their cooking, bantering and affection again! Cute and heartwarming.

A rare gem!
Deep, desperate, painfully personal, hauntingly beautiful.
Full of loud silences, unbearable loneliness, raw emotions and so much love wanting to be given...
