Detective Soojin's Several Scenes Crack Me Up All Over The Cinema

Comedy genre tag should be added in the genre tag. Soyoung (played by IU) & Detective Soojin (played by Bae Doona)'s scenes are actually comic, comedic reliever. When I watched this sat beside with my muggle friend, the cinema was filled by audiences half of the cinema, when there were physical & literally tad bit funny scenes, literally funny scenes in the first half, most audiences of half of the theatre laughed because of that LITERALLY funny scene, while I did not.

I admit, I wasn't bored at that time. The movie wasn't bored me hell out. BUT! personally, this movie was vvvvvv extremely slow to me which spent the first half of movie alone. This movie had slow pace, This movie is slowburn movie has slow paced walk. I haven't watched any director's previous work either know who he is. I just know him as a smart & brilliant director. Yes. ok. Actually not that interested to know him (the director) further & farther. I don't care who he is. It doesn't matter who the director is, where the director comes from, What kind of future masterpiece he will serve to us. I am not interested, well. I am quite netral in this. This movie moved extremely slow to move & trigger the plot & hint. The slowness of the pace. I wasn't bored, but perhaps I was in the condition where I was so exhausted at that time, I watched it after work, I did fasting, thus the first half makes me feel sleepy, my eyes were heavy, and forget to add that actually this movie is 'turn on your braincell, full of concentration, full of focus to spot on the meaning, what this movie implies' type movie kinda. Heavy movie I can say + slow paced movie, thus the first half of the movie is hard to watch personally. As I have said this movie required, pulled me to force my concentration & focus in, because the first half of the movie I can say, it contained of, carried plenty of hints to move, to lead us to understand what this movie tells, implies about. plenty of hints, clues, 'why?', reasons, backgrounds, answers to answer & move to the next scene, and this movie just could answer my 'what is this movie trying to tell about?" just could answer my all of questions in the second half of the movie. I mean, I have said, this movie is slow paced, and all of those hints were existed in the first half. the first half : introduction, where the hints are put, then to answer all of those on the second half.

Not a great job tho. Yes. OK. Pretty good. Not a melodrama, why people who watched this said this is a melodrama movie??!?! *getting me eyes twitching*. Why? something missing & lacking to me :

Demonstratic, emblematic issue which this Broker movie is such a hard & heavy to understand to watch, the issue, the problem to understand, conclude, sum up what this Broker movie tells me about :

When Soyoung (played by IU) dropped off her newly born son baby at a "baby box". Yes. Soyoung left her newly born son baby at a baby box, then her newly born son baby was picked up by Sanghyun (Song Kangho) & Dongsoo (Kang Dongwon), then Dongsoo deleted the recorded surveillance cctv video the process of dropped Woosung. Then by these 2 Sanghyun & Dongsoo secretly underground-ly sold babies to several arranged adoption process, bypassed the long & bureaucratic processes of orphanages. Sanghyun, Dongsoo, & Soyoung then went on a long road-trip in process to find the new & most proper best new parents for Woosung (the name of Soyoung's newly born son). Sanghyun, Dongsoo, & Soyoung then went on a long road-trip in process to find the new & most proper best new parents for Woosung (the name of Soyoung's newly born son) to find the most suitable adopters, best parents for only beloved Woosung, while a couple of chasing detectives (Soojin (Bae Doona) & Detective Lee (Lee Jooyoung)), while the detectives eagered to press child-trafficking charged trailed them. At some point, those gangsters then appeared & has been gotten involved.

Personally, in my pov that the director, Mr. Director Kore-eda Hirokazu fails, little robbed, little failed to balance the multi-threaded plot involving multiple storylines. This factor made me so baffled, dazed, confused because too much stories happened here. He failed to balance the multi-plots involving multiple storylines. Broker movie dropped in momentum when every time it cuts to the cops, as they only served as mouthpieces weighing opinions on the situation. I almost fell asleep because too much details here. An eight years old orphan kid, Haejin (played by Im Seungsoo) joined this central characters odyssey long journey finding the most suitable, best new parents for Woosung for no reason other than to earn cute points. Failed comic reliefs, meaningless presence of gangsters.

In the first half, there were several funny scenes which most of audiences of half of the cinema giggled, laughed, but I didn't find it funny. I was so sleepy, my eyes were quite heavy to try to focus because I know, the hints, clues were put in this first half, but I was so ff sleepy, I closed my eyes for several minutes, because I felt that the first half was nothing, nothing in the first half were solved. This story felt like rough first draft. There is nothing, there are nothing exciting, attracting & amazing, nothing attract me to watch stuff to be found, whose I felt nothing, in the first half of the movie, I questioned myself"is this movie really 'not for me' movie?" Because I was excited for nothing, there is nothing exciting to be found in the first half. UNTIL....

"Then, who is Moon Sunah?" ; "She's my obnoxious neighbour in my hometown whom I used to live beside"

When none of the audiences laughed. I cracked loudest filled all over the cinema?? (grinning opening largely & widely my teeth smiling). People around me then laughed because of me laughing out of nowhere, because I found that part was vvv funny & what a comedic reliever. When people remained silent & calm enjoying the movie, laughed as there were funny scenes, while I didn't laugh because I thought those scenes were not funny to me, when that Soyoung answered those, got me cracking!???? (multiple plenty of laughing cracking emoticons!). Yeah, had cute moments, but not that tickling & giggling me, only 2 scenes of Soojin (played by Bae Doona) & Soyoung (played by IU) got me cracking!

Also I had been suspecting Det Soojin since the first 10 minutes film started, my hunch toward Det. Soojin turned out right that it was her! I cracked my laugh? (cracking emoticons), because of Det. Soojin & my bet toward her turned out to be true! Answered & Unfolded my hunch toward her just exist in the second half. The second half is quite clear to me that I can understand what this movie tells about in the second half, bec the second half unfolded, explained the hints, clues I questioned for. The second half of movie is clear, easy to follow & comprehend, personally.

As in the contrary, as the person who use to be 'decent/ 'just alright'/just ok' with 'leaves deep meaning' film/series/drama's story. Yes it is ok for me. From the summary, brief explanation of the plot summary is understand to watch. Also, nonetheless as a 'petty film/series/drama' lovers. Turned out this movie is considered contains of deep, heavy meaning which I am in contrast against it. I just can say 'OK' because this movie turned out to be hard to watch especially as I have explained above, the first half required fullest concentration & focus because the first half is actually where all the bases, clues, hints are put, are existed. Then, the second half is easy to watch, because the I can collaborate, elaborate all the hints put in the first half, thus I can watch the second half easily, without hurdle, even though in the first half it was uneasy, I thought this movie was a tough watch to solve the hints put there. Turned out this movie suits with me, even though I am not used either do like watching heavy, tough series/movie/drama-s. it just means I am not used to watch heavy watch. Broker movie suits me even though. I feel it is just an 'alright' movie. I don't find any problem with the story, the story, plot summary, the plot are all 'okay/alright/nice/fine'! Lighter tone, not really a 'melodrama' movie, the lightness is considerably accessible & emotionally rewarding experience, regardless. The movie didn't judge anyone, they got the better view who they were themselves, instead.

Feel good movie with unlike-able anti heroes, duo anti-heroes (Sanghyun (played by Song Kangho) & Dongsoo (played by Kang Dongwon)) Either I ain't found issues, anything wrong with the acting. Yes, in the first half of movie, when Soyoung (IU) scolded, mad at the aspiring adoption parent/aspiring adoption consument, I found her, I found her acting as Hotel Del-Luna resemble. I saw that Jang Manwol renaissance, nonetheless after that scene, her acting was okay. No doubting anymore with all of Broker's involved, contributed actors, actress. When Soyoung revealed she murdered Woosung's father whom also her husband with the reason why. I also considered that her reason killed her own husband in empty hands were quite reasonable, could be accepted, could be approved despite of the wrong. When Soyoung revealed, she murdered her own husband, Woosung's father and it shocked the detectives! What a stellar performance & acting performance for all Broker's actors, actresses, including the cameos/special appearances. Final saying about the acting is, I don't issue anything, there is nothing wrong with the actors, actresses, including the special appearances's acting for this masterpiece. Sensitive performances for all of the casts & the visual show setting! Sensitive performances are all contained in this movie! As Song Kangho, no need to doubt. All the casts, including the special appearances have done great & spectacular job presenting this masterpiece!? (hands clapping emoticon)

For Music, I liked & enjoyed it as the tension & music were harmoniously increasing & it's fun tho! When the answer, in each scenes, there are these referred answers, solved hints, the climax-es the music's volume in each scenes was increasing as the tension also was increasing! Love the background music application in this movie!

There are no winners, none of them are correct.

I won't rewatch since I have said several times, this movie is considered as a heavy to understand the content of the movie. It was just 'OK', 'Alright!' Too heavy, rough, heavy driven for my preference, whose I am used to watch petty, illogical, stupid series/movie-s. Okay movie. When I had been writing this review since this morning, today, I even forgot the detail, include Soyoung's false name, Soojin's husband Russian name (played by Lee Moosaeng), Sanghyun's vision, hunch, sense turned out to be true, Sanghyun's ephiphany & reason that so far he just knew Dongsu didn't consider him. Forgettable because too much details put here, thus made me confused & dazed, however this movie doesn't attract me to rewatch again. It's something to see on a big screen moreover the background music, really challenged me! No extra shit, solid characters. This Broker movies is quite relevant! Nonetheless, I can say this is remarkable, worth to watch, memorable, enjoyable to watch, personally?? (hands clasping emoticons).

"I am a machine, but... I didn't come with an instruction manual or a label on me anywhere. I still don't know what my purpose of existing is. What was I made & born in this world for?"
"The vending machine says hi!" & "It's a life time warranty."

Ilsoon Sets The Bar The Way Too High & Worth for Younggoon. Younggoon Must Be Proud Having Him. Man Doesn't Make You Rice Megatron & 2 Static Gloves, Is Him Even Worth It?

Tips nonton : turn off your braincells, pakai sudut pandang ODGJ, menjadi 'tidak waras' untuk menonton ini, harus nggak waras, dulu. Ini film anehhh. Udah..nggak usah susah2 melogiskan film ini. Kita harus sama kayak mereka biar paham film ini mau dibawa kemana. Dan film ini menceritakan tentang apa tentunya harus jadi 'ga waras/insane' dulu seperti mereka.

Tips to watch : Turn off your braincells until the movie ends, Apply/use mentally ill person's pov as mentally deranged as them to understand, to comprehend, to get what this movie tells about. We have to turn off our braincells & we have to be mentally ill-ed, deranged, mentally sick, insane like them. Very unlikely psychological movie in general which mostly be serious. Throw your logic away!

*Warning, Disclaimer : This movie contains of TRIGGER WARNING : Eating Disorder.

As someone who is a devoted romcom series/drama/movie-s. I am sold into it! I love how the perfect Mr. Director Park Chanwook told a story from mentally deranged people's perspective without misinterpreting, misrepresenteing the characters. Anyway the pschyaters, psychologists here were really lovely & endearing hearing their patients, served them as their most beloved bestfriends. It really crossed the thresholds by delivering deliriously unique absurd surrealistic daft romantic comedy movie story that definitely eccentrically very unusual. I think, it seems that Mr. Director Park Chanwook's take on the romantic movie couldn't stray away more from the norms of the genre, as he managed applicating, implementing his style even in this category. Mr. Director creates unusual & very brand new stereotype of the genre by using, applicating, using humour & exhibiting his subject with his peculiar sense of irony. Best of him, he could managing balancing all the elements, basic essential foundations between the serious-ness of the subject, object & humour is truly elaborated & veeeeryyy synchronized! The film's twee comedy mixed with the occassional burst of sci-fi, or violence a highlight. As ever, it looks enchanting! it looks endearing! Quite high quality from film which came 16 years ago, as ever it looks pretty, enchanting, pastel looks as expected from the direction from Mr. Director Park Chanwook & regular DOP, Mr. DOP Jung Junghoon.

Post 'Vengeance' Trilogy, Mr. Director Park Chanwook released, presented this movie tells about 2 mentally deranged people whom they were institusionalized into psychiatric ward, movie tells about extremely surrealistic & absurd mentally ill-ed people with their unique character + behaviour their each. Younggoon's grandmother suffered, got a schizophrenic illness, imagined herself as a mouse, that rubber waistband xD! Younggoon herself as the filial granddaughter, heired, inherited the schizophrenic illness, suffered the delusional illness as imagining herself as a cyborg, which led into her refusing to eat with usual human's foods then licked the battery to produce the electrical, electricity energy as her imagining herself as a cyborg.

"I have my reasons for stealing. I am afraid I will be vanished. I am anti-vanishing."

Then in psychiatric ward then Younggoon met Kleptomaniac Ilsoon who used to brushed his teeth, as he could be vanished such a dot, such a dust. Ilsoon here were written to help & encourage Younggoon to make her eat normal human's food again as usual as it should, as it should properly be human's food. Non cohesive plot, not cohesive story, messed arranged plot, with unique premise, nevertheless the excecution is immaculately fabulous as expected Mr. Director's master-craft hands. Comedic, whimsical, goofy, & quirky. I was funny without purposely in fun purpose of the characters & slipping into problematic notions especially because of the topic. The movie tells us that all our feelings are valid & it's always right to feel & acknowledge them. Ilsoon & Younggoon's love journey, love story depicts cute, not forced, natural, naturally funny quirky goofy petite cute & very adorable relationship. From what all I had learned from the movie, what I had learned from them is despite all of the circumstances, you just need one great support system which, who, that will always believe, believes you & believe what you can, believe what you believe, can respect, can understand you walk forward every step the way ahead.

Mr. Director Park Chanwook crafted a lovely little piece about mental illness awareness, mental illness, introducing mentally deranged-ill-ed people's perspective to the audience, taboos, grief, trauma, delusion, schizophrenic delusion. It had its moment of delightful humour, sweetness. The movies is absurd & abstract in terms of premise & presentation. a bit sci-fi genre whether the sci-fi genre, sci-fi elements were literal. The comedic, zany scenes bordered the absurd-ness were quite awesome. The unexpected moments of compassion were & are totally my type favourite, my liking! What a wholesome movie! Overstyled to the point of being grosteque in some parts. It could be that, It can be that, It can either leave the viewer wondering about what the heck they just watched or hit them straight to the heart. Many scenes were subtle as genuinely filled with much plenty emotions. It is tough bet to make a light-hearted movie carrying the issue of mental illness awareness, showing & introducing us the taboo of mentally ill-ed people's perspectives. Obviously seems Mr. Director Park Chanwook seems handled the situation well & best as expected, with his distinctive, unique, different, special as his style & passion.

Love the creativity, innovations, creations involving the design elements, her faithfully cyborg-ian self & set design. Pulls off the way beautifully merging with heightened style & surrealism stuff. I like & I find interesting, the quiet understated love that grew out of acceptance & understanding the sympathy-ness for one another, for each other. I got into the film, I really appreciated what this movie tells about. Ilsoon (Played by Rain) was very willing in the first place, he was very willing to make, to do anything, to do everything the best for Younggoon (Played by Lim Soojung) by making her a kinda rice megatron kinda. Ilsoon protected & loved Younggoon so much (with the rice megatron, the wine bottle cork which he placed on the top of the aerial on the lightning storm) without exposing her vulnerabilities or trying to change her. He even got her back, He kept encouraging, helping, supporting him, supported her back, that what is the meaning of, "quiet understated love that grew out of acceptance & understanding sympathy for one another."

Deliriously daft bizarre absurd psychological romantic comedy movie. Aggresively, derangedly, passionately, frankly my type of movie. Not cohesive, gritty, quite odd whimsical odd bizarre zany peculiar absurd strange wildly illogical type of movie. Took me fast to get fully warmed up to it, got its scoring & footing. All its eccentric charms, goofy madness really works fully, it really worked to me! , it really works to me! Even though the story is too meandering. I love it as deliriously daft most surrealistic masterpiece! I'm A Cyborg But That's Okay is full of technical flourishes which are pleasing, satisfying, gracing personally!
