I'm not a big fan of Korean movies for the simple fact that it takes them too long to get to the point and then there's nothing in between.
I've seen one, though, that had everything that I love in a movie and when I saw that this had the same premise I decided to watch.
The beginning was dry. There was no lead up to why the beginning was happening. It just happened. I was going to stop watching but it started getting interesting so I told myself to stick it out.
It turned out to be pretty good but here's why my overall score is low: the ending...it left me seething as Korean dramas usually do. The veteran cop was able to take down armies upon armies of fighters but he let the main villain beat him to a bloody pulp just because cameras was around. Throughout the whole movie this man disobeyed a lot of things but in the end he gets his a** whipped because of onlookers and cameras??? Plus it ended entirely too fast. Instead of showing the main bad people getting their just desserts they just rushed it along in a 'news' story which barely lasted 60 seconds and....that was it. The movie just ended. I was like, 'what??' I wasted almost two hours just to have it end that way???
Now this will really keep me from watching any movie Korean related.
