Decided to watch it without any expectations and ended up enjoying it.It's a funny movie about a group of cops trying to catch drug dealers. I really like the part when they pretend like a family 🤣
I'm not familiar with the actors, but they did a great job portraying their characters.
The cinematography was nice, you could spot some cheap cgi but it doesn't really ruin the moment.
I didn't really noticed the music that were used.
Overall it's short and fast paced. a good movie if you to watch some comedy/action.

It is worth my time, yes that's what came to my mind while watching it.
●STORY
The story is engaging and written ingeniously serving action wrapped with comedy perfectly. The undercover cops got a big shot with the restaurant and their job. this undercover plays a big part in the humor but it also has a difference in opinion between the cops, because their actual job is of a cop. So in the end it is interesting to watch how they come together to complete their mission.
●PLOT VIEW
Well, I haven't watched the original Korean movie, Extreme Job but I was really happy to watch this. It has more action and less comedy which I liked as they were actually cops who don’t need to do comedy in that restaurant to impress the audience.
Also, there is no lobster in this movie its actual crayfish, although it looks somewhat similar those who know can differentiate. It's kind of stupid when the movie title is lobster and the production doesn't know what is a lobster.
●ACTING/CAST
Every actor did their parts really well and am really impressed by them especially Liu Hua who played the chef. He seemed to be the most unfit guy in the cop's group but he had the experience and patience to do his job.
●MUSIC
about the music, there is BGM, not any songs and ost are there. that small BGM is inserted well. but not worth remembering
●REWATCH
I would rewatch it again when I had forgotten the story.
●APPRECIATION
I really like the teamwork of cops, they cared for each other.
●FAV SCENE
When the big brother goes to find the younger brother in the gangster house.

Wasn't the best but still fun
I had no clue kit was gonna be in it when I was randomly scrolling thru netflix. His acting was actually way better than I expected (idk why i was expecting it to be bad lol). The plot and story was pretty stupid but it was still fun to watch. It made no sense and was all over the place. Maybe it was the food I was eating at the time that made me enjoy it haha. If you are here to watch a good movie with a good storyline and plot, don't watch this but if u just want something fun then go ahead. It was supposed to be like a thriller but I was laughing throughout the whole thing because of how dumb the characters were.Was this review helpful to you?
Hedonistic and Not For Everyone
Look, this is NOT a short film for everyone. It is a bl (boy lust) series rather than a BL. It is for adults. No romance here just pure animalistic lust. It is very well acted and has the classic 'bad boy' feel about it. We all like to pretend that this type of fantasy would never happen to us as we are sensible, have a moral compass, and have some boundaries. But this short film shows otherwise how easy it might be to succumb to a more lustful nature if the circumstances were right. Seemed almost too easy.Was this review helpful to you?

As deep as the budget allowed
After letting this movie settle in, I had an urge to write the review. Even though many might find the whole story kinda questionable, I think the overall idea was great. Rage, jealousy, sadness, and aggression could be psychologically explained, and I will try to do so in my own manner. Kurata is repressed homosexual and has an extremely deep fight within. We can see that from the very start. He has been in love with this boy since day one, but he waited for him to take the first step. I understand his character, being a person that does not go for what she wants due to fear of rejection, fear of looking weak… well just fear in general. I felt the character very well. And then, building a facade to keep himself safe, acting like he does not care about anything besides sex, acting out with rage outbursts when it is so transparent that he feels jealousy. All the emotions built into this character made me feel the movie intensely. As for Tozaki, I loved his gentle, kind, and patient side. I believe that these characteristics tore the walls around Kurata at the end of the story. I loved it honestly and I think about this movie a lot.Was this review helpful to you?
Never repay hatred with hatred, it'll never bring peace to mind
This was a damn unexpectedly satisfying movie. I was seriously mind-blown about how this movie turns out. It hit the back of my head like crazy. This is definitely one of the movies that I can say, you can never really tell until it's over. The movie started as stated on the plot and it wasn't even half of the movie so I was thinking, what else could be there to tell. I literally fell asleep during the first 30-minute of the movie and decided to continue watching it after I woke up.Apparently, there's still much to tell. The plot tells the point of view of the teacher however the latter part dives on the point of view of the students involved. The way they reason out things, the life they had that made them that way. It was very thrilling to see the story from their perspective. From this part it just went from 0 to 100 real quick. Everything became exciting and this movie became one of that movies that I will remember.
One of the biggest contributor for making this a successful movie are the excellent acting of the casts. I was a bit skeptical at first because they were just a bunch of teens and the plot is really dark however the young age actually made the impact even bigger. Kudos to them really. The very dark message of this message is definitely something I'll keep in mind all the time. If you let your negative emotions turn into evil deeds, everything will just turn out evil and chaotic. It will definitely come back to eat you alive.
I don't want to spoil the major KABOOM of this movie so it's better for you to just watch it. Trust me it will get better in the middle. Think of the start as the calm before the storm. I am so glad, I have found this movie.

The two monks may have traveled together, but their roads to the top of the mountain were slightly different. One monk, Poban, adhered to the rules, the other, Jisan (who had been kicked out) seemed to go out of his way to break them. In their duality of thought they were not that far apart, both were seeking to let go of attachments and find the real meaning in their faith and how that should be lived out in their lives. What was more important-prayers or action? Avoiding temptation or facing it head on? Being attached to the rules or breaking through them? From time to time their pasts and mistakes caught up with them, crashing through their thoughts, forcing them to deal with them and answer some of those questions. The conversations were dense with meaning and would take a third or fourth viewing for me to truly grasp the deeper elements.
Though years passed, it seemed ever winter in the landscape, cold, gray, and austere. This movie truly needs a loving hand to re-master it, saving it from the graininess of age. I'm sure the images were originally crisper and clearer.
Mandala isn't for everyone. It is slow, focusing narrowly on the two leads and their conversations regarding life and Buddhism. As Jisan said, "Attaining enlightenment is easy, putting it into practice is difficult." Forty years after the release of this film and countless world events since then, this message still found and resonated with me reminding me how timeless some films can be.

I mean...Come on? Really? What the hell was that even supposed to be?
Notes:
*Terrible sex scenes*cringe*
*Porn without plot & it wasn't even good porn. Oh no! Because if it was good porn then I might have just accepted that it fulfilled it's intended purpose. I mean, nobody watches porn for the plot now do they? But it couldn't even get that right.
The problem was that the sex scenes were god awful! & I mean really really bad & the kissing.... well that was even worse.
*Total cheese! Ridiculously corny.
*No chemistry between characters.
*Just weird & cringe worthy.
I can't believe I just wasted a couple of hours of my life watching this.

While Pong has a one-sided love for the pretty cheerleader, Ming, May, also, is experiencing the same for the ever handsome and popular school heartthrob Fame. Through their shared one-sided love and being outcasts in school, Pong and May becomes friends. They tried to help each other out with their love life. As Pong starts to like May, Fame also begins to take notice of May. Now, we have a full-on love square. What I love about this movie is that in 2 hours it was able to connect me, as a viewer, to each character, especially the two main leads. I love that interspersed throughout the movie are the cartoons/anime which only adds to the depth of the storytelling. The movie is funny, sweet, heartwarming, and playful. The happy ending is cherry on top. Was this review helpful to you?
The plot is complicated and at one point it goes to full on action mode. It could have been stronger with fewer elements, just concentrating on making those as strong as possible. Still, this is a good crime movie for those who been spoiled by watching the other one that inspired it.

a classic romantic comedy
I love watching romantic comedies more than any other genre. This was your very typical one.I liked how the two main leads became close to each other, gradually, by working together. I totally adored male lead's character. He was a gem really.
Also I think that the place where they went for a trip and the whole philosophy around it was so nice! A quietly stunning place. I loved wathcing places from there.
To summarize, I would recommend this movie to anyone like me who prefers a classic romantic movie to relax.

Good Action, Poor Story
Available on Netflix and with its great cast, i wanted to give it a try. I am an amateur of action movies and this movie has its share of action, violence, combat scenes. Unfortunately, this is all it got. The story stays vague, the doubts of the main character, the love story, the political issues ... nothing is elaborate. The way it was filmed gives you this melodramatic vibe while the viewer will have to slalom between the violent action scenes. As a result, this movie did not make sense to me. It was not entertaining enough as an action movie, nor it was melodramatic or romantic as it tried to be.Was this review helpful to you?
Something to ride home about
This show opened with one of the most heart-breaking and upsetting moments I have ever seen in a movie. Where children are forced to register as suspected homosexuals, I swear. Not to mention they were sent to a military camp... Gay, straight or alien, bishhhh, you will have to kill me and anyone that is friends with me because you can't take them neither. MAKE MEH CAREThe story takes place in a time when homosexuality was obviously taboo to the point of it being a crime. In this we find the two main actors who literally became friends by accident and became close enough to wonder if they are just friends. The story progresses through a series of moments that are simply beautiful for anyone to experience together, I mean anyone in any type of relationship should have these moments, the cinematography wasn't top-notch but it was still captivating to see the simple yet beautiful moments these two friends shared. I loved how they were allowed to remain innocent throughout their entire screen time with some clear fan service up in the mix. They got on with being two teenage boys loving each other's company, doing what teenage boys do without being typical sex addict portrayals.
Love and family also had a good contrast here, where emotions run high and things happen and things are said that may not be true but are meant within the moment. In the heights of the drama (pun intended) everyone starts to wonder what really exists between them and one thing that leads to another results in an actually heart-breaking disagreement between the two boys. If teachers were really responsible for the mayhem that ensues, WOW you all need a jump-kick or two. However, this was not the worst part, the worst part was Dew never making it to the Phop in time. I was honestly lost for a little while during the story, but when that flashback came, I wished I was still in the dark about what happened.
These actors did an amazing job and some of their best scenes happened to involve a telephone... It made me celebrate, it made me cry, right along with them. All the actors did a great job and I believed in their story so much that I had to yell at the screen a few times. The ending wasn't what I had hoped for, but the story was worth the watch.

Very heart-warming!
Absolutely the cutest movie ever, it had everything I personally needed. A lot of characters and a lot of different stories is something that’s never going to get old and actually should be done more. The happy vibe surrounding the movie and then later us the viewers is on another level.Every character was portrayed by the cast with such delicacy and each one had their own charm that you can’t stop smiling at. One more thing I really enjoyed was the OST, full of happy Christmasy songs, making the movie even better.
If anyone’s looking for something light, happy and overall sweet, that is the one!!
