Fantastic Style. Too much style.

Kim In-Shik uses great stylish pictures to deal with the story about a tracgic love and especially the broderline syndrome. If you can accept this way to tell the story in a very artificial way you'll see an intense movie with excellent actors and fantastic pictures. But it is a little bit too long. And Kim seems to have laid more emphasis on style than story sometimes.

Little SPOILER!
And the lousy splatter effect at the end
did not shocked me. It made me smile.
End of SPOILER.

Take a look at yourself. I think it is worth a look.

I agree. The ending was stretched out for no apparent reason other than shoehorning in some more cool effects and superfluous scenes (we get it. Seok-won is a broken man).

Also the random fact that Ji-su can apparently see ghosts that went absolutely nowhere other than providing cryptic clues as to what the doctor's true history is.

I've just watched this on my current hypnotism in mystery movies kick. Nice looking film. I could have done with a bit more mystery. It's good enough to put on my watch again list.
