I don't know what to say except that this movie is absolutely fantastic. This is one of the best movies I've ever seen, Asian or otherwise.
The acting is fabulous. Lee Jun Ki is wonderful, as always. I haven't seen much of his work, but oh boy is that gonna change. Lee Jun Ki brings the right amount of toughness and vulnerability to his character, making it so that you can't help but sympathize with him.
As for the other major player in this movie, Lee Mun Shik is also fantastic. His ability to portray the emotion and pain that he's going through in this movie is incredible. His transformation throughout this movie is quite moving as well.
The writing is fantastic, pacing is very well handled, and all in all this movie is definitely worth watching over and over and over again. I will say though, be ready for the ending, because this is one of the few Asian movies I've ever seen with a happy ending, and I cried anyway.
