I agree with everything you said, but I feel you were too generous. I gave it a 4.0. There have been lots of movies geared towards teenagers with the same "feel" about them that were just as well made. I am totally flummoxed by the adulation that this has gotten.

Complicated story. You have to make the effort to remember the names of all the people and places, so this is not a brain-dead movie. Lee Byung Hun had the richest role, but he is a superb actor and handled it well. I saw the original cut when it came out, but enjoyed the 3-hour version more. Lee El is one of the most beautiful women in the world. There was no effort in looking at her. Worth the price of admission.

I just finished episode 1. It was depressing. Is there any happiness or justice anywhere in the rest of it, or is it like this throughout?

I enjoyed the movie until the ending. I was not convinced that the bad guys would not get away with their misdeeds, since all government officials are portrayed as evil in Korean movies. I guess that is due to their real-life history over the last 60+ years. I want to see the cell door slam before I believe justice was served.
I always enjoy Son Ye Jin's work. Sometimes I like Hyun BIn, and sometimes I don't, but I felt that he did a good job here. Kim Sang Ho usually plays a dunce, and started out that way here, but changed to a competent cop about mid-way. A nice change.

WOW! 2006 -- It was difficult to find. Kissasian did not have it. Dramanice had 3/4 of it. I finally found the entire movie on Asiancrush.
At first I found Kim Rae Won's awkward mannerisms a bit strange, but later I did not notice them any longer. Heo Yi Jae was very good. What became of her? 9.0. Hurry and watch this before it becomes unavailable.

I love Ra Mi Ran, so I thought that this would have a chance of being fun. Not so. I will be generous and give it a 6.0.

Two hours lost.

I am really puzzled by the high average rating. I wonder if people liked it because they liked the two stars. There was no point in the movie in which I liked Park Bo Young's character. Kim Young Kwang's character seemed to be wasting his time from the jump.

Everything about this movie was 'cute.' That is not a bad thing. Park Bo Young and Cha Tae Hyun have built their careers on it. Not a bad way to spend two hours.

I assumed that this would be boring, judging by the description. The only reason I gave it a chance was the high average rating. I am so glad that I did. It was great. There was a scene near the end that gave my whole body goose-bumps. As others have written, it starts off a bit slowly, but it gets engrossing soon enough.

I cannot find this anywhere. Please help.

I was crying at the end. It reminded me of what the people of Hong Kong are now going through. This movie, Taxi Driver, Ode To My Father, and a few others have taught me a lot more about recent Korean history than I knew before. Throw in Juror 8 as well.

One of the first Korean movies that I ever saw. Right after I Saw The Devil. They had to stretch it a bit to make it last for two hours, and I kept wondering why Kim Yoon Seok's character was allowed to keep walking around instead of being placed in jail, but a taut drama none the less.

A powerful film. I wonder why so few people have watched it. It has only recently passed 250 reviews to get on the MDL list of Top Movies. 9.5.

Finally watched it for the second time, after a year. Still love it. So many thoughts running through my head. There were so many ways that the plot could have gone in different ways at different times. I wanted everyone to be happy somehow. Was the ending happy or sad? It all depends on how you look at it. This movie has a mystical hold on me.

I spent a lot of time in fast-forward mode, but I did like it overall. I agree that it should be made into a series. 7.5

Bless you, fatema. I see that you put a check on your herd instinct. I agree with your summary.

4.0 -- I agree with 'fatema' below.

I gave a '10' to the movie, so I was afraid to watch this, thinking that it could not compare. There are some weak moments, but also some very good ones. Still, I was thinking of dropping it, until episodes 9 and 10 came along. Wow! Bringing in the great actress Ra Mi Ran was genius. I doubt that the rest of the episodes can maintain this high level, but I will watch to the end.
