    still a great korean gangster movie

    This one is not great as the first one. But still very good compare to other gangster movies.

    It have depth on story and details. There are so many things connected each others if you rewatch on several times. And the movie still have unique joy things. As well as keep the atmosphere like the first movie.

    The charactersare well-build and play. For both main characters, as well as the opponent.

    I'm still watching it several times. It feel satifised to see how the story is going and how things be solve, as well as looks back to reaveal the unknown questions. It's good ending story for the first one.

    I don't say much

    My rating star will tell you my thoughts, this movie just sacrificed the first ep for MONEY. They shouldve leave the story, but greed wanted to make them this horrible movie. Acting 0, story didnt even connected that good, dragged too much. Modern Korean movies just lost its way.
