2006 / Moon Seung-wook > Talk about disappointing: Maybe the reason the film fails to grab a genre (or fuse multiple genres) is because it has four scriptwriters behind it, including the penwoman behind the blockbuster Silmido. Or maybe it’s because I expected quite a bit more from newly famed actress Kim Ji-soo and her follow-up to the quiet but engaging This Charming Girl. Whatever it may be, it brings forth the ridiculously annoying trend in Korean cinema where there’s a 180° turn smackdab in the middle of the film. Is this really necessary? Can you not be a little more skillful in pacing your film and story development? I could understand doing this once in a while if it wasn’t so common in an industry, but the technique runs rampant in the land of kimchi. And that’s just rotten, as Kim and Kim Ki-duk veteran Jo Jae-hyeon were putting on quite a show until the lights went out.
