This is the best roll I have seen for Lee Kwang Soo thus far, he play a brilliant dumbass. He is the type of person that is so smart in certain ways he does not know how to behave normally in most social settings. At first it seemed like this type of character wouldn't work well but his delivery makes it so convincing. The rest of the cast is also very well played and most of them have a carfully crafted complex background and odd personality which makes figuring out the real suspect difficult.
My favourite characters were Ahn Se Bin as Yul and Park Ji Bin as Fish (Saeng sung). The delivery of Yul's complex character was just amazing for a child actress and Park Ji Bin's character was just adorible.
All in all I would 100% reccomend to watch

Great CGI & Story!
Really enjoyable movie, especially for casual watching. I started watching because I liked Song Joong ki, stuck around for the story and the other actors. The story is a bit slow and predictable in my opinion but enjoyable nontheless. I was especially impressed with the special effects and the action scences. The CGI was very realistic which is really crucial for sci-fi themed movies. Although it is mainly an action adventure movie there are many emotianal scenes, during which I definitely had to cry. Highly reccomendWas this review helpful to you?

This was one of the best Korean movies I have watched so far, and currently my favorite movie. It started of nice and slow, but build up in such a way that it would keep me on the edge of my seat.I loved the two main charecters and their chemistry, especially the quirky bits from Jo Jung Suk. He really deliverd his character well and gave the stroy a bit of comic relief.
About the stroy, would I call it a thriller? No. It was more of a comedic action movie with thirlling scences. Also there were a few holes in the plot. The stroy sometimes skipped forward a bit, which is understandeble, but this left some questions as to how they got there as in the scene beforehand it seemed as it it was impossible for them to make that jump or continue on that path. Also at the beginning they introduce Jo Jung Suk's character as someone who's girlfriend died, but it does not add anything to the story and it is not eleborated any further so this was just an odd remark. But luckely, for me this did not take away from the enjoyment of watching the movie as these were not massive things and the story even with the holes made sense as a whole. The story builds the suspense really well. Throught the story there are multiple points where you are wondering if they are going to survive.
In short I would definetly watch the movie if you are looking for a disaster movie without all the cliches

As for the characters, I loved them. The dynamic between the two main leads Ko Sung Tak (Kim Bum) and Cha Young Min (Rain) was great. I loved how their relationship develloped over the course of the series. Also both characters had great personal development and learned how to deal with their short commings and they helped each other grow. I also loved the playfull yet sweet relationship between Sung Tak and Oh Soo Jung (Son Na Eun), though I wished she would have had a more present role in the show.
However, the antagonist where a bit lacking they were portayed as big bad evil people but reminded me more of bullies. Also I found the chemistry between Jang Se Jin(Uee) and Young Min a bit awkward, plus the relationship she devoloped with Sung Tak was a odd and leaning towards becomming a bit creepy.
