I'm yet again going to tick the spoiler button because toward the end of the review I am going to give away the ending. SPOILER ALERT
Now, I love Korean movies and that as well as the great reviews this movie has been getting may have been setting me up to watch this with way too high expectations.
For me this movie bombed. a 7 out of 10 in any other movie genre is not a bomb but for me, for South Korean movies 7 out of 10 is a loss.
I found the plot maybe a little to contrived, set out way too precisely and by the time they got to the huge twist I really did not care.
SPOILER BELOW!! The thing that got me the most was that the main character went to so much effort to obscure the murder of the x-husband that he hid the x- husband's body where no one would ever find it. Killed a homeless person the very same way and hid their identity so that the police would think that it was the x-husband's body.
A] The first part of this plan would have done the trick.Hiding the body where it will never be found without killing another person seems like an okay plan. B] No one care about the dead homeless person. "Oh you really love me, you killed a homeless person for me" I think the movie really fails to make a distinction that homeless people are actual people and killing a homeless person is still murder.
