Thriller, suspenseful with good plot twist

•HOW I CAME TO IT
This movie was in my PTW for a long time because I didn’t find the source to watch it. I discovered it on Netflix yesterday so here am writing my review.

•STORY
Movie open up with the scene where a med student finds a dead body. He takes it up home to learn about human body more efficiently as earlier he only got dead animals for learning. He later discover that dead body was an elite official’s son and he was murdered. The police was trying to trackdown the murderer. To avoid being the suspect he hires a low rent detective, who is working to hunt for women cheating on their husbands. There is interesting plot twist which leaves the mind blowing.

•PLOT VIEW
The movie gives a feel of sherlock and watson duo, but am not going to compare the movie with them. Just because sherlock holmes is famous, its still a fictional character and there are lots of detectives who are there out in real life. So let Hong Jin Ho be it. He takes up the job seeing the money but he does his job seriously. He uses pre-electronic gadgets hand-made by an elite lady, who is like a modern day forensic expert. While tracking the murderer he discovers a horrendous bitter truth. With the med student and forensic expert woman, hong jin ho gets to make a trap and very interesting action scene takes place.
The Plot is solid and captivating since the start, and suspenseful with a good plot twist. I think it would have been more better with split personality thing rather than twin.
Near the end, one can see an opening for a sequel which, I wished if it had

•ACTING/CAST
Hwang Jung Min as Hong Jin Ho is not famous but a detective for family spats. He grows up in the character and becomes a hero at the end. He is kind of a hustler, not particularly sharp nor heroic, yet clever than he appears.

Ryu Deok Hwan as Jang Kwang Su was marvelous. His face had the innocence of youth who is worried to become a murder suspect and also he had the passion of medical student to become a good doctor. I had seen him before and he is surely has one of the finest actors whichever character he plays.

Uhm Ji Won as Soon Deok is an elite forensic expert, her role is small but still she stands out in her character. It seems as she has some kind of equation with the detective.

Yoon Je Moon as Eok Kwan  gives the standout performance as a villainous circus performer .I had seen him in some villain role before too and he surely keeps the level of villain above par.

•MUSIC
I didn’t really get engaged with the song, I was so much into the movie. But BGM were mostly natural sound effects with a minimal music, which was fine IMO.

•REWATCH
I am not into so much of spy or detective movies. But this movie can be rewatched .

•APPRECIATION
The film sets a thriller plot reflect the times of that period when Korea was occupied by the Japanese at the beginning of the 20th century. It has a completely different vibe. There are mixes of Western, Japanese, and Korean influences in the clothes, as well as language and sets. undertones of political tensions were done brilliantly which gives chills.

•CRITICISM
The main fault for this lies with the editing which deprives the action scenes from some real dynamic, the action scenes at the last were also very confusing. A chasing scene through the streets was unbalanced, as villain is running in roof top and detective is behind .

•AFTERTHOUGHT
The movie also has its comedic moments which worked naturally into the plot. even with its flaws. it's a story we have all seen before told in an unique manner.
