Seobok

Although there are some action scenes and the story is based on human cloning, the film is philosophical.

It has a deep core and asks deep questions.. Why do we fear death? Why we want to live forever?

Is "how long we live" more important than "how we live"?

Are we living well?

Is there a purpose for our life?

The moment our death approaches, will we say that we regret or that we are proud of how we lived?

What would the world look like if humans could choose to live forever?

The film indirectly answers all these questions. And in the end Ki Heon answers the most important question.... Do you know now how the world gonna be if humans could find a way to immortality? And he answers, "Yes, I know." Ki heon represents a normal human who fears death and wishes to live longer and Seobok is immortality sought by everyone.

If you are expecting an action movie, the movie will be disappointing. It is a philosophical movie about human nature, death and life. And how humans might destroy each other if they could control who lives and who dies.

...but somehow the script is not the best, and i think with the two lead actors they could've done so much more and better (because they are both great), but it stays a bit on the surface over all. Too bad!

I love both leads who worked hard to overcome a mediocre script. The film began okay, quickly became muddled, developed large holes, and then fell apart. But I did think the ending worked okay.

The two main characters have good acting skills, but the storyline is boring.

As another reviewer stated, it's not bad to watch once. It has some elements that make it engaging, like some very well done CGI (particularly the super-power scenes) and an emotional score. Gong Yoo and Park Bo Gum both nail their roles, but the plot was lacking, and it failed to connect on an emotional level. The premise was interesting, but ultimately I was left feeling like what exactly was the point of the movie. I think the overall message of what it means to be human is decent, but I've seen it done better. I felt this was somewhat of a disappointment, as it had all the right elements but they somehow failed to impress. I think it was a decent watch but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a huge fan of the lead actors and have nothing else to watch.
