Review of Seobok

Seobok (2021)

Drifts into sentimental nonsense !
27 February 2022
This starts off with great promise and ambition but just dissolves into a sentimental mush !

The basic premise is good, we have a potential 'savior' and a non deserving victim and the bias keeps shifting between the two which makes the outcome uncertain until some background facts are revealed and it all turns to sentimental slush ! Yes you should expect a certain amount of sentimentality in Asian films but this felt like it didn't know which audience to play to so tried to cover as many as possible !

If it wasn't for some of the overdubbed voice acting this might get a better review from me but to be fair this was probably the worst part, it would have been preferable to just have subtitles !

Predictable, nonsense with really bad voice overs !

Don't waste your time !
