How could anyone like this? SPOILERS


What people seem to be complaining about is the character development which is something I actually enjoy. I've watched dozens of Korean films, and hundreds of other international films and this one nearly tops the cake as one of the worst.

This is a disater movie. It wasn't represented as a disater comedy like the film "Airplane". There was a stupid character who would just get tapped on the head by a 90 year old lady and would fall to the floor every single time. Yes, I understand these are the films Koreans like to watch, but the movie takes us out of reality far too often.

Characters on a roof the tallest buidling of the resort city die by the second wave, yet the main characters who are hanging by telephone polls surive. We never even see the results of the second wave on the ground.

The bumbling buffon character causes countless of deaths with his stupid actions, but every time a crate falls it's nearly an inch away from his face? How is this a disater film and not a comedy?

I could write an essay on how idiotic this film is in representing any sort sort of realistic depiction of anything. I understand Koreans want comedy and three stooges slapstick in their disater movies, but at least market it as a slapstick comedy so those who are interested in watching a well though out film will actually enjoy it.

I don't want to watch a film where the mentally incapicated idiot survives 50 close calls and where the person who actually knows what they are doing actually dies for a tsunami that doesn't seem to be on the same planet as everyone else.
