    A HIDDEN MASTERPIECE

    I kinda get why this didn't get that much attention in Korea as this topic is pretty taboo and I preach the writer for the genre and storyline they choose.

    The cast may not be those actors and actresses you see everywhere in a drama but I'm really impressed by their portrayal especially the main character. The emotions and characterization every actor in this film showed is one of a kind, this may come off as a comedy film at the trailer but this story is much more than that, the realism of every situation is kinda scary because you know this really happens in real life. The story speaks a lot for the teens and young adults who struggles and it portrayed it very well.

    Young adult matters.

    Painfull and necessary!

    This movie show the reality of many peoples in a very artistic and cruel way. From the start to the end, the violence, depression and. Marginalization presents in the movie, make the watcher think about the value of.life. The whole scenes presents in the movie are so perfect, and the lights in the dark night of the city while the group walks by, match perfectly with the propose of sadness and depression. During the movie, theres isnt much dialogue, but the silence speak loud in every scene. I guess, this movie fulfill your proposal. Make the viewer reflect about the meaning and value of life. To end, i drop my 10/10 for this film, for the cinematography, quality, courage to portray a very sensible theme. YOUNG ADULT MATTERS!!!

    A true masterpiece

    I rarely find a film I can get so caught up in anymore, I'm usually stuck knit-picking at the smallest of issues like lighting or sound but literally everything was perfection. I could literally write an entire book on why this film was a masterpiece and how much thought the director had put into each detail and scene. From the connection to the things teenagers like to the biggest of problems they can face. The entire film was about pushing the boundaries of korean morals and how young adults who have gone through trauma can react to certain situations. You literally need to watch it at least four times putting yourself into each of the four main characters shoes and even then you'd have to watch it a fifth time to connect all of the pieces! It's so brilliantly put together and the ending was amazing. Usually films aim for a big ending, a happily ever after or a cliff hanger but that ending really brought the idea that it was meant to represent life and how sometimes you don't get a happy ending.

    Reality Many Ignore

    This movie crosses all the topics most millennials are dealing with, and even adults. This was only rated a 7.5 on Viki, and I can understand due to the nature of the film being very taboo in Korea. However, I loved it.

    just wow

    Very depressing, very true.

    World is a scary place, but this film shows us reality of many people through cinematic lens.

    Cinematography and lighting were amazing, cast was top notch, more people should see it!
