    Yes it IS a remake

    To the person complaining about it being a remake of Contratiempo - yes, that's what it is. There is no lying on the part of the makers of the movie - it's in the opening credits. If you don't like remakes you shouldn't have watched it.

    This is a middling remake of a middling movie. Neither is great or horrible, but both are highly implausible. Nice to see Yunjin Kim in this, but when I saw it was a remake I should have stopped there, because I didn't love the original. I love thrillers, and am always looking for something good, but this was not great. Next time I will not hope for a better version of a movie I didn't like much to begin with.

    Highly unlikely coincidental scenarios and

    Purposefully twisted plots that could only exist in Marvel or Disney animations or cartoons. The actors, one male and two females who played the three main characters all looked like their IQ were over 160 at genius level, especially the stone-cold young woman who played the mistress of that man. The overly exaggerated extremity of the coincidental scene after scene could only happen in lousy fictions or fantasies, unnatural, self-indulgent, self-serving and shallow. The chemistry between the man and his mistress was non-exist at all, albeit sexual relationship. There's no way to convince me or anyone with the least IQ would buy such ridiculousness.

    Twists are quite good

    Some good twists keep this thriller crime mystery interesting. Good lesson things are often not what they seem at first. The story involves a murder in defending it the investigation leads to another crime that stemmed from a car accident. Sounds complicated but the directing is good and the story evolves clearly enough to follow. The cinematography is good and polished looking.

    So Ji Sub is good at this role. He should play this type of guy more often. He has a face that would be an effective villain. Intelligent and sympathetic looking Kim Yun Jin is always watchable wish she would do more drama series. Nana is pretty in a modern way hope to see her in a modern romance soon.

    • Trivia
      The hotel number where the crime takes place is 514. 514 in Chinese slang translates to "I want to die." In South Korea and some Asian countries, the numerical digit 4 is considered an unlucky number and is associated with death (due to the words 4 and death sounding similar in their native languages). The fear of the number 4 is known as tetraphobia and is taken seriously in some Asian countries that sometimes floor levels or rooms with 4 do not exist in hotels and other buildings.
