Worst friend EVER

Agreed, I couldnt get over how selfish and cruel the friend was, I wanted her and the Aunt to die a very miserable death. Even when she was fighting the husband her useless friend just stood and observed like a mannequin, and when they showed the other messed up thing she did......just plain evil.

A Fantastic but grim film with a fantastic central performance from Seo Young-hee. She totally is the heart and soul of this film. The last third is the most brutal I've seen in a film.

Onto Hae-Won, I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that they were hoping that she died. I can see what they were trying to do at the end, but for me she was past redemption at that point. When she read those letters, i felt bad Bok-nam more so then anyone else. Her punishment is she has to live with the guilty that she was one big main reason her friend died, sure she didn't beat or rape her but she betrayed her friend in many other ways. Also before she went to the island the way she slapped the young employee (then tried to save her Job by texting that she was sorry rather then out of guilt, great that she was fired) and the old lady with the loan was disgusting.The bit that made her beyond hateable was when Bok-nam with her daughter dead looks up on the hill and sees her friend watching not doing a thing and walks off in disgust. Even when she was young she was horrible to Bok-nam.

But that's what i loved about this film, in a Hollywood film a character like Hae-Won would be redeemed by saving Bok-Nam when she was been beaten at the end by her husband and getting her off the island with her daughter. But nope not in this, she's no hero and i don't think the director or writer were saying that she was (i hope so anyway lol). Even the scene when she shopped the villains who beat the woman to death, I didnt care either way cause she was unredeemable by that point.

Even though she killed many people (all scumbags in their own way) i still felt more sorrow for Bok-nam then Hae-won.

I agree with all of you, and as much as I wanted her to be killed a horrible death, I actually understood why she was unwilling to help. Anyone heard of the bystander effect? She had good reason to be afraid at the police station. The gangster threatened her and being in her situation I wouldn't know if police protection would be enough for me.

She also had a reason to be afraid at the island, even if she did tell the police officer, the islanders would have outnumbered all 3 three of them. While it doesn't justify her actions, we don't know what other people are capable of. I think her being a bitch was her way of protecting herself.
