This was my first non-rom com Korean movie I watched and I absolutely fell in love with it. To this day, this is still one of my favorite movies. I love how the characters were complex and even I wasn't sure on how it would end.

One look at the cover and you wonder what you're in for, I was completely taken by the movie. If you know of Park Chan-wook and are familiar with his work and you've enjoyed any of it, then you owe it to yourself to give this film a look.

I have seen this movie before and I want to see it again with Japanese subtitle. So please release this one with Japanese subtitle.
