Review of Byeonsan

Byeonsan (2018)
6/10
Disappointing direction from Lee Jun-Ik

The story itself and its development are okay. However, gosh, it's very slow-paced for some reason, feeling elongated and dragged along. Script is trying to be poetic, but the result turns out to be awkward, tear-jerking, and infantile. Two main actors do not meet the expectation of viewers because we know they are brilliant actors in previous works. Park's rapping is just so hard to watch and listen. Occasionally raps representing Hak-soo's mind are inserted on and off, and paradoxically they really interrupt the flow of the story and lessen the focus of audience. This interruption accumulates, and the final performance on the stage becomes even cringy.
