About

If you like dark Korean revenge thrillers like The Beast or Voice of a Murderer, this offers grief, anger, and steady tension; Not for you if you dislike heavy subject matter or bleak, emotionally punishing stories.

Pros: strong lead performance; gripping emotional pull; bleak, tense atmosphere | Cons: straightforward story; overly melodramatic at times; drags in places
