Review:

Where would you be without your Hallyu friends?

Holy shit. What a movie. This was amazingly dark. I don’t recall ever seeing Lee Min Ki in a movie like this before (but I must have seen him in something, right?). From start to finish the action was intense. Lee Min Ki played the BLANKITY BLANK out of this role. I don’t know what type of physical training he did to get ready for this but wow.

Look at his body. LOOK AT IT!!! *cough* sorry…. It’s just. I mean combined with the psychotic looks he gives his victims/family/everyone, it caught me off guard. Here’s the official blurb about the movie from AsianWiki:

Bok-Soon  lives with her younger sibling. She runs a street stand. Bok-Soon is slow, but when people angers her she goes crazy. That’s why she is known as the “crazy woman”.

One day, cold-blooded killer Tae-Soo  appears in front of her. To hide his secret, he kills Bok-Soon’s younger sibling. Bok-Soon then goes after Tae-Soo for revenge, but Tae-Soo goes after Bok-Soon.

Bok-soon was an amazing character in this as well. I wouldn’t want to go up with the likes of Tae-soo but once he killed her sister she was the one stalking him. I promise you I am not giving away all parts of the movie. Let’s just say that there is lots of blood, lots of skin and craziness from Tae-soo and yes, a happy (sort of) ending. All in all I believe this was a pretty good movie. Great if you are into psycho action-thrillers which I seem to be of late.

Check out the trailer below

Sorry there weren’t any English subs but the movie is available with them here. I really REALLY hope you check it out and let me know how you like it! Because sexy crazy leads aside, this is a fantastic action movie.
