Similar to Dick Cheney story. Chilling precisely because the story is occurs in many places and because people most affected continue to drink kool aid. Excellent acting!!!

And new knowledge about south korean history, their 1997 financial crisis, a government pushing the economy down the loo and becomes bait for the imf and according to the film the usa.won they still have allthough ive seen its inflating tendencies, they couldnt take that away from them...

its a good film, very nice production quality and score, though a bit stretcehed out playtimewise, but its absolutely a recommend, by the grumpy old man

A film with a stellar cast. Based on true events, a captivating film. I loved every character and their connections. I found Yoo Ah In's character so brilliant, I was enchanted by her. She's ironic, intelligent, and mesmerizes you with her ability to deliver dialogue. It may seem slow, but it becomes compelling as you watch. I really loved Kim Hye-soo, brilliant as always, a headstrong character who holds that storyline together. A film that's absolutely worth watching and will keep you glued to the screen.

Very well done, compelling movie, that challenges one to consider what is the roll of: financial policy, credit in an economy, labor policies, foreign investment, and about 10 other strong economic related motifs and crisis management amid a market collapse in the late 1990's.

The movie elegantly mixes in macro and micro story-lines so you consider/see a series of events unfolding at all levels, to consider the different sides.

It's well worth a watch if you enjoy econ/financial movies

If you are a global financial news/history enthusiast, then you'll enjoy this film. Though the film tends to oversimplify the actual events, it is still informative and entertaining. Very good production, good performances from key members of the cast, and well placed newsreels from the actual crisis give the film a realistic feel without coming across as a documentary.
