    When it comes to thrillers, I love Korean films.

    Saw this recently on a pirated dvd. The moment I read its a Korean film about a serial killer, I bought the dvd without watching the trailer. God bless the Koreans for making some of the best thrillers. This is a predictable but entertaining film. There r no bloody kills n fast paced action. It's a bit humorous regarding old geezers aka senior citizens. The guy who played the grumpy old landlord acted well. The Alzheimer detective was good too.

    Loved it

    I have never watched Korean movie that disappointed me and this one was great...loved the fact there was a few comedic parts but still a serious thriller movie

    Good korean thriller.

    A very good South Korean thriller which makes us follow an investigation around mysterious suicides and a serial killer. Beautiful photography and good staging and actors in the hair, no complaints. if you like the genre go for it.

    It was okay

    To me it felt like a average movie story evolving a serial killer. At first the movie seemed so interesting but ended badly. Story was predictable, nothing new and shocking. Maybe I expect too much from Korean serial killer movies as they are suspensefull and quite interesting but it wasn't much. But I must admit, lead actors did a amazing job.

    Another great Korean drama/thriller

    Some of the same type of writing and ideas as other Korean thrillers I've seen, no that is not a bad thing. Great acting as well as character development.
