No glamorous, highly classy gangster story. No sweetening of unrealistic heroic gangsters in this movie. This shows corrupt cop, a parasitic life of gangsters. Somehow, the story deeply moves your sympathy of a human tragedy.

The main character is a 29 year old petty gangster who is burdened caring for an ailing mother, a brother who wants to become a gangster and his family is about to lose their home. He realizes that he cannot continue on like this. He finds himself in a web of murder and betrayal in a world where trust and mercy doesn't exist.

compared other Korean gangster movies, this is one of the top 5.

I am a hopeless Woody Allen fan. This movie is a must-see for them. Simple story in anyone's life but convoluted confused mind shows funny but somber.

The actors are not funny but they end up making mistakes being trapped by own stupidity. Anybody's story but well developed in sophistication.

This drama comedy shows the high level of story telling and character development.

The actors/actress are not familiar faces in other Korean movies but they are better than most Asian actors.

Highly recommended.

Sophisticated. It doesn't mean boring. Very well written and executed script. This movie shows the maturity of Korean movies as the top in the world as of now along with some German, Dutch, French or Italian movies or some Iranians.

The story line evolves on a couple with a daughter. Non-eventful marriage is well depicted with mundane detail but very humorous and comic. It tries to show your married life.

Whole movie is narrated by a third person. Very minimal dialogue but full story engagement.

Highly recommended for anyone who likes a well-developed story.

A boring, non-eventful, very content lower level civil servant in a local government employee got involved an exciting event inadvertently. The leading character is very good showing an earthly life rather pursuing non-lucrative dreams; even he despises any who pursues their dream without economic means.

The movies mocks fast moving money oriented society and it mixes with comedy. No traditional happy-end but a realistic message in the movie.

Highly recommended.

The leading character is a strong character actor in many Korean movies. He is good at his comic act and many other roles as bad guy.
