If you live outside South Korea, you may very well have watched the international cut which is 16-min shorter than the theatrical korean cut. And there's many short differences between these 2 versions;

Thanks for that, I was looking for a comparison. There's a gorgeous HDrip of the shorter director's cut (taken from the Korean blu-ray) that's doing the rounds on the internet now but alas no one has created subtitles for that version yet. I've got it tucked away until then. I wanted to wait for an HD version but I broke down and watched a dvdrip of the original 156 min cut.
