Yes this is that bad - if i could, would give this minus 10 stars!

like WTAF was this plot and i get that in manga world, Everything goes - but when ur adapting it, shouldn't u rewrite this mess?!? i should've "listened" to other commenters warnings, not to waste my time on this - but laughed at their comments and curiosity made me watch - wondering "...how bad could it get..." - Oh it was as bad as everyone said, heck it was worse -

i donno in which universe, infatuation and love is an excuse to rape - even if Tonoin for a sec though Yuuki was gay - is that the go-to(?) gay guy's just force themselves on the person they find attractive(?!?) and that's how the relationship starts? - really? like WTF is wrong with Tonoin that he comes-up with this kind of logic, and then he not ashamed, but calling Natsuko - why? who she too Yuuki, talk about adding insult to injury - considering how she acted -

as is from the start the over-acting was hilarious - yeah Bad acting - but it was funny and wasn't taking this seriously, as also found some of the character's likeable - not Natsuko (who just went from bad character to worse!) but other character's in that orchestra where quirky and fun to watch. and then that out of the blue rape scene where Yuuki's acting was killing me - like come on, he not serious - its not like he a teen girl that can't over come the body-builder Tonoin. and yet he can't cause that's how its written and then he actually falls asleep in his rapists bed?!? and the morning after he still lounging about in his underwear instead of legging it?!?
guess someone should rape the writer, so they get how illogical that whole scene was (let alone how insulting it was to real victim's out there and the trauma they have to live with for life) - but the idiocy was just starting - of course after u get raped u fantasize about "getting it on" with ur rapist - and then the cherry on-top, a drunk Natsuko taking Yuuki out for drinks and telling him "so what if u got raped once" saying "he won" i seriously would've slapped her sober, if i was in the pub and not just looked on shocked like the other patrons -
a woman talking this kind of crap and down-playing rape - telling Yuuki he was making a mountain out of a molehill was infuriating to watch - Yuuki actually taking Natsuko's words to heart and acting on them, just added fuel to the raging anger in me, watching this crap -

of course it doesn't get better... and seeing Tonoin side doesn't exonerate the f*cker and Yuuki (at the end) making some grand sacrifice for the orchestra, makes this a total disaster of a movie - that i wish i had never wasted my time on

this was adorable - well the ending was & hilarious to boot. ironic, as quarter way through, was contemplating stopping, cause of the snail-paced start (talk about slow-burn ugh). add to that, the "look" which puts this somewhere in the earlier 90's with the dated acting skills (was shocked when Keigo tells Tadashi "...they in the 21st century, so u say gay not homo...") & the disjointed plot - was totally disinterested in what was going on.

but then Keigo comes on screen & the dude is such a mood the life of the party (quite literally) he's funny & shameless. hard not to love him, so totally got how Tadashi instantly warmed up to him. when, while reading the description, thought the ones he would warm-up to & confide in, let alone seek advice from would be Hiroki & Sinji.
this was 3 different stories intertwined in each other & it was good that each was wrapped up with a positive conclusion.
but i feel like the plot didn't flow in bits (maybe cause of this, still don't feel elated after watching). Yes the ending was a hoot & loved that Keigo got his dream wedding. that was fun & funny - a Very positive ending that leaves a smile in ur heart, not just ur face.

BUT this far from perfect & it's a shame, feels rushed or lacks polishing ... so more a miss then a hit - but fine for a 1 off

until that ending, i was thinking of rating this 3 stars

well this was "interesting" for lack of a better word, disappointing is a more fitting word & given the cast we got here, will say that again - idk what the writer's/director were thinking - but this was a mess at parts & at others, just illogical b.s.
used to seeing incompetent cops that can't find their head with their own 2 hands, let alone shoot a gun when needed. but can/will lookover most of the glitches - even the plotholes until that whack end - like seriously?!?

Alpha the invincible machine was taken out, in that insiginificant way? why?!? why he the only test subject to get his eyes wired shut?!? how it go from japanese guys doing human experiments, to the test subject runing the show?!? just to make a antiaging drug? and if that wasn't enough, we got that rotten cherry on top (finding out Lee Do Il's son survived) but he being kept locked-up - why? why that CEO keeping the successful experiments confined, to what end?!? and as Lee Do Il doesn't know this fact, why we got this reveal?!? so "they" can make a part 2 - to this mess?!? (ノへ￣、) plz...

pity, this had potential. it was ridiculous with the water-slide of blood used in every kill, let alone the cruelty at how each kill was implemented - overkill IMHO - just revolting (get it, they were bad-guy, still just nauseating). or those exaggerated foot falls of Alpha ¯\_(ツ)_/¯(like plz) so much could've/should've been cut short, so we get more of a story to the main plot. ironically or not the only one i rooted for (even before he came on scene) was Alpha. the rest were meeh (also the one i wanted dead from the start was the nurse (¬‿¬) OMG she got under my skin, i applauded her kill).
anyway like i wrote above, this plot needed to be rewritten, with a clear end & some answers about the main charecter's/plot, that would be appreciated (let alone make this a good movie), as is - it was fine for a 1 off. but still a bummer

enjoyed this, won't say it was perfect. but it was fun & don't get anyone trying to compare this to Bullet Train, John Wick, Hitman's Bodyguard, Kingsman etc... cause this wasn't trying to be those movies.

what i really loved here was the personal relationships between the character's. even though this tagged action, everyone (who's criticizing this) seemed to forget this also a drama. i loved those aspects of this movie. the mother daughter dynamic was spot on, great acting by all, but Jeon Do Yeon is really talented, have seen her in quite a few movies, so versatile. also loved the new young cast, the intern & the daughter - their story was also very relatable n engaging (in the intern case even less of a story and yet very endearing character IMHO).

i aint into action movies, so don't care for the fight choreography, but even i noticed that it wasn't that mind-blowing (not that there weren't entertaining fight scenes) but on a whole, it was nothing out of the ordinary. and here i think the trailer did a disservice to the movie, selling it as the actions movies i mentioned above.

also there's NO incest to speak off, yeah Min Hee crazy n very possessive of her brother (& lacking a back story, got no way to back my thoughts) but from my POV, Min Kyu didn't treat his sister as anything by a needy, spoilt child - he suffered n indulged her, didn't lust after her! the one he truly loved was Gil Bok Soon. from the 1st moment they met, he was hooked, that's why he did everything he did - for her, until the end in-spite of her going against his instruction's (what she did to his sister) he still didn't want to kill her (basically letting her win).
it wasn't perfect & i can be nitpicky, find potholes but on a whole this was a fun watch. i would rewatch this just for the fun off it anytime...

ugh frustrating ending!!!

from the word go Hyehin seemed suspect to me. everything was too convenient. her first reprimanding Minzy cause her skirt was too short, then letting her off with a smile. Minzy then finding that weird pic of herself changing in the locker-room among they books. Hyehin informing her, that she put it there and knows who the culprit was... everything just tooo "well timed," one thing falling into a slot after the other. like them then watching Mr. Lee with his polaroid camera - it "smelt" to high heaven -

but u don't get all the answers at once - u notice slowly that Minzy might be infatuated with Hyehin. that's why she's going along with her - blindly. kept wondering why Hyehin target her - cause there a ton of other girls in that class. but it's cause she knows Minzy smitten - easier to manipulate. and that's what all this boils down too. Hyehin using Minzy to get what she wants - back with Mr. Lee? or to start something idk (unsure off that) but for sure, she as smitten with him as Minzy is with her.

the ending is Minzy realizing, she has been used. Hyehin used her from the start to get at / back with Mr. Lee and he folded (either taking her back - or considering/accepting her offer). seeing them together and then to get called back and reprimanded cause of lying. cause Hyehin admitted "they made it all up" - does she blow the whole thing exposing Mr. Lee having affairs with students and why Hyehin suddenly found a "conscience " or what....
but considering her holding the evidence in her hands, there zero options then for the truth to come out - so guess this Not an open ending - and yet frustrating cause u wanna see it through.

interesting movie - love might be the word of the day, but is that the motivation behind every character's actions? in a distorted sort of way, i guess u can say that the motivation behind their actions was love - not the healthy, wholesome kind. and Mr. Lee as good looking as he is, is just a predator that shouldn't be allowed to teach children - no matter their age.

as the first part ended this started - not that it had any continuity/connection - it just started in the middle of a scene or so it felt. Nana being tied, this time to a chair in an unoccupied classroom. what bothered me the most, was the fact that the actress playing the FL seemed to be different - and spent a while wondering did she just change in a yr, enough that she seemed like a different person?!? as there's no info about the actress playing Nana in this or the previous cast& credits info on this site -
idk

this movie is more or less along the same lines as the prequel - Nana needs "breathers" that Kaoru provides. Kaoru's reactions make this hilarious - as he is also battling his own feelings towards Nana, feeling's - he feels will take away his "power" and make Nana reject him, if she notice's them - so he tries to put on an indifferent front, while still making sure he stocked-up on BDSM paraphernalia to satisfy Nana's needs.

this time around i felt more like Nana was too self-centered - it was all about her (as it was in the previous ep) but i guess Kaoru getting a chance to live out his fantasies is something - and yet he always pining for her, almost obsessed with her... and her being stoic and cold - even indifferent towards him, when around her group (heck when her bff was badmouthing him) was making it glaringly clear, that she had the upper hand - and worse she didn't really care about Kaoru, his needs or him as a person -
so this time around it was harder to like her. but the trip to the country side was much needed for them both as she realized she need Kaoru as much as he needed her (about love i'm still on the fence - as i feel to Nana, she felt they both were the same perversion wise) guess that's a type of "happily ever after" as that means it aint the end of them... and maybe Kaoru has a fighting chance.

like i mentioned in the first movie even though this BDSM themed, its for everyone as it's BDSM light (almost No nudity maybe a butt-cheek or two), and it's more about their relationship then pain and degradation - facing each other and the truth. so this as the previous part, was a enjoyable watch and i'm totally vanilla - so give it a chance i was pleasantly surprised (●'◡'●)

well talk about psychological mind f*ck - this that, on steroids. what can i say other then this infuriating - both Jungo and Hana Very messed-up individual's and u can debate about the why, from now to kingdom come - the fact that they messed-up(!) doesn't change - let alone them committing murder to keep living the way they were living.

sadly there's nothing here incomprehensible - the only bit that bothered me - well other then the blood bath scene, was like a WTF moment, as it didn't seem like their first time, that would be indictive off a loss of innocence or the slaughter of the familial bond or some such... maybe it was prophetic?!? going to show what was to come? the blood lust in them? idk, so back to the start of my sentence and what i wanted to point out - the first scene where they meet - Jungo asks Hana "where her family is" not parents, not identifying them by name, nor her for that matter - so i was sure they not related in the least and he just knowing she had no kin alive, found a good victim to train/adopt... and he did a "great" job - considering how f*cked-up she turned out -

Oshio was a good person, but i didn't get him enabling a man he said "wasn't good enough to have a family", raise a child that had just lost everything?!? and after him finding out, that was too late - him trying to take her out of the situation - like what was the point of running after her?!? the sec he ran after her i knew he wouldn't make it - stupid move, considering her reaction. not that it was justifiable in anyway - that's why the end left me infuriated, cause she out there now moving onto other men messing with them, as she will never be normal. bottom line this one messed-up puppy

overkill

talk about a bleedin tragedy - its like any sad cliché out there, all tossed into this movie to make it that much more of a tearjerker and astoundingly left me dry eyed - cause this was ludicrous !! overkill is the best way to describe this movie - even though now i'm shocked anyone survived - was sure lightning would strike, taking Eit out - for a finale. not that his ending wasn't sad - he all alone and old too boot, so what he got left to live for(?) vid's of Mehk confessing his love - big whoop
it just felt like "they" were trying to create this grand-tragedy, romeo and juliet equivalent - and it just never met the mark, in-spite of how sad almost every character was.

first off Mehk the killer for hire, suddenly got a morel code cause he gotta kill Eit - really?!? and he cares so much for his sick mother and brother, but he doesn't know what kind of living conditions they existed in? or after the big get away, where Eit succeeds in taking a blacked out Mehk to his hide out? and they on the run, but not hiding or running for that matter - even after the assassin almost gets the better of Mehk - while Eit off phoning that annoying wife of his. and they still hanging around the same place(?) cause the boss gonna send only one dude? well he kinda just sends one, and then gives-up which was weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess it was more important to show us both lead starring off into space and playing hide and go seek...

which leads me to why Mehk react like that after getting it on with Eit?!? he wasn't drugged or forced, so why wake-up and act like he was raped?!?
the whole hide and seek was also annoying, grown ass men got nothing better to do - plus lets not forget they "wanted" men - but they not got a worry in the world, let alone Mehk not worried about his family that he their only support system - ugh the plot-holes r countless.

donno even if this good as a one off - the plus point hmmm this is the first time i saw a "sponge" bath that was justified - usually u get that annoying, ridiculous scene in ever BL just so one dude can feel up the one he is salivating over - here it made sense considering Mehk was shot and unconscious for what seemed like a while, it was logical that anyone who was taking care of him would do that -
and there were a few funny scenes, even though i doubt they were meant to be funny - like Eit's wife breakin down in tears cause she sees Eit sleeping with a rag-doll - OMO come on that was hilarious and ridiculous. or the more absurd scene where Eit and Mehk make-out in the middle of the street, putting on a show for the brother, mother and wife - aish really couldn't take this movie seriously. it missed the mark - bummer

first off donno who or what Nu'est r, so just by reading the comments came to know they a K-Pop group. and as didn't know any of the actors involved, didn't know if they newbies or have acted in other "stuff" (well the only one i recognized was Serizawa Tateto as seen him as a side-character in loads of stuff. Kinami Haruka also looks familiar, but for the life off me couldn't pinpoint where have seen her. as in which dramas or movies) - now that, that's off my chest i so didn't accept to enjoy this movie - heck reading some of the comments, though it would either bore or disappoint me. Not the case, this was really good and well acted, if we talking newbies - good job by all!

this the type of movie that's more mellow and snail-paced, dialogue is minimal and u have to give it - the character's time to unfold, and u little by little start to see who they r and what makes them tick. that was the case here, so if ur not into long pauses and reading facial expressions, then u might be bored - cause not much is happening on screen - or so it seems to people who enjoy fast-paced, dialogue packet movies.

loved how even though each individual that seemed like an island at the start, when the story developed u saw how they were all connected to each other - oblivious to each other's connection they still were changed and even evolved through their connections - when they got closer or further apart. its like they were all connected by an invisible string when one "pulled", each had a minor shift in their own lives . it was sweet and magical in a way. the cause and effect shown - how our actions be it a word or a look, effect others around us that we don't even know r connected to us -

for sure a rewatch as this is totally my type of movie - just sit back and watch the movie unfold - everyone takes their time - nothing rushed. clams me idk guess just my cup of tea - find these type of movies very relaxing. plus this one was sweet, funny and heartwarming - so happily recommend.

well this was "interesting" as in Not my cup of tea - and i like movies involving psycho's. Hasumi was a true psychopath, nothing endearing or redeeming about his character. maybe cause of that, didn't like this one bit - the cop's as per usual r not only slow, but stupid and cause of that he basically gets away with a massacre - and i aint only talking about the recent events (that go down in that school), but throughout his life, dude just went about his way - exterminating people for the fun of it, and not one person caught on?!? really dark and depressing outlook in this movie -

reading the description u think Hasumi is justified in a morbid sort of way, preventing bulling and helping the weak, while bring justice to the "evil"- psssh so freakin far from the truth - dude is Nuts that's the bottom line. (as there a drama that's a prequel to this, was wondering if i needed to watch that, so will have some back-story. now gonna forgo the "pleasure" as i seriously don't need to watch anything where the bad-guy gets away with murder - considering who Hasumi is, there is no justification). if anything this was sad(!) the kids were just that kids, acting stupid and childish and even the bulling was negligible considering things i've seen - and if there were student's really being "messed with" it was by the faculty - i.e adults and Hasumi just took advantage of the situation's, he came upon to further feed his own needs for suffering and blood.

the last massacre was a megalomaniac thinking he could get away with murder, as he had his patsy set-up (and the curious student following Miya up too the roof botched his plans for that passing as a suicide). so in for a penny in for a pond - he just wanted to up his death count, as he needed to move on to a new kill arear - this was basically a slasher movie - killing for the sake and joy of it. so not for me

this was hilariously bad - like what else could one do if not laugh at the things going on in this movie - the first part wasn't stellar but at least it made some kind of sense - the rich kid got sent off and the poor one had to tough-it-out and bare the brunt of the humiliation, from his family and his soundings - ironic that the same guys that were egging Lu Feng to kiss Xiao Chen, were the same ones shaming Xiao Chen when they found out they were in a relationship - guess its cool being gay as long as its just fun and games - stoopid logic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

but this was like WTF is going on - for one that brother of Xiao Chen's who was so gay(even before we saw this part of the movie i guessed to that fact in the 1st part) so why he not support his brother and his bf(?), when they got together why he and his bf treat Lu Feng as the bad-guy that wasn't worthy of Xiao Chen - and shouldn't be around him??. considering they in the same boat - shouldn't these morons commiserate? or just cause they weren't outed, so not their problem?!? that's why i kinda got Lu Feng losing it on the pair and going after them, when Xiao Chen ghosted him out, cause of that annoying mother - talk guilt trip - this woman was a master in that crap - everyone should've informed her that Lu Feng's money-bags rich and a boss to boot, pretty sure she would've been all smiles and open arms then... plz

and then from ridiculous to absurd - think the person that wrote this crap was the same person that wrote Addicted - Lu Feng drug's and then basically confine Xiao Chen in his place - raping him on the daily?!????? guess this a new type of romancing and foreplay?!?? like WTAF - who comes up with this sh*t and people loving it - guess stockholm syndrome is the new way to get ur man?!??? which considering Xiao Chen saving Lu Feng is - idk i'm at a loss at the absurdity of this plotline

so the brother walking around scot-free after shooting a person - brother or not he took a freakin gun from a cop and shot someone, who ended up in a come - he not doing time ? guess his bf indeed connected.. and that not enough that ending aish, guess "they" wanna milk this for a part 3 of this travesty? well read enough comments of people rooting for it, so idk what's to say - other then this will never be a rewatch or a recommend. one off was fine but nah this not even mildly good

a good coming off age/out of the closet movie, but freakin depressing - first off the bullying aint for the faint of heart. also didn't get why Gi Woong who was friends with Yong Joo and Gi Taek, not only distanced himself, but turned into this bitter delinquent. it takes more the half the movie to show u what went down and why he changed. plus found it ironic that he and his new crew of bullies, worked for a thug "disciplining" - well threatening/beating-down other bullies for pay, to stay away from kids they were bulling - ironic cycle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

there were bittersweet parts like Yong Joo still trying to communicate with his friend - and i get that some of the motivation was his infatuation - given some scenes it was mutual (before Gi Woong went through the transformation" = normal kid to thug). even his closeted friendship with a gay kid from another school, that he met through a gay-app, was sweet and heartening - that he at least had one friend he could be "himself" with.
also the scenes with his mother, who was more like a friend was a balm to the soul, compared to what was to come... loved how accepting she was and his coming out without actually doing so, and her blind acceptance of him - did the soul good.

the rest - not shocking to guess, as its more or less written in the description - Gi Taek the geek is the typical victim turned bad-guy, who the sec sees a way to get from oppressed to oppressor, he takes it throwing his bff to the wolves, quite brutally and literally - this was sad and distressing in many ways
seen comments that this a good ending and i guess the mains finally being there for each other, showing solidarity is positive but considering what goes down before the end - still Gi Woong has to "pay" for his crimes. and what will Yong Joo do while he is serving his sentence? go to the same school with the guys that brutalized him?!? so this open end wasn't satisfying. still good movie

OMO i saw this a while back on the tube and have to say - this is good - This is a really cool concept and I loved the execution! Three different couples performing the same dialogue and scene, seeing them play it out slightly, differently according to the couple involved, was really fun to watch. each was funny and sweet in a different way.

The first were the girls - and there was no aggression there, but more attraction if denial and then intrigue, that made them come together. with that sweet kiss.

The second couple were male and female and i laughed more cause the girl was the aggressor and seeing the guy panic was funny - but it felt short, just cause the kiss was bleeh - brings me back to all the kissing scenes in Kdramas where the FL turns to stone and can't react - cause if u react ur basically "the whore of babylon". so that takes u "out of the enjoyment of the moment" - and was a bit disappointing after the first couple.

The last couple Aish :D maybe its the fujoshi in me, or the let down after the straight couple - but this was so good, funny, cute and yummy (yeah XD i know) but y'all get it - its two guys and they were funny, cute and aggressive verbally - tough-guy act hard to let go off... and their kiss omo made my cheeks hurt, i smiled so hard... and the only kiss that had butterflies going haywire in my stomach... it was short but Very sweet -

as someone who has "come" after watching Bad Guys the drama series (season 1) this was wack... and dunno if the vid that was uploaded was the prob or what. cause there were scene that just jumped from one to something else and maybe that was also the problem in me dis-liking this.
i guess the movie was made cause the series was such a success, if so why they rewrite so much?!? they completely deleted Lee Jung Moon's character as if he didn't exist. which given as he was one of the favorites (going by all the commenter - me i favored Jung Tae Soo, the Hitman lol ) was a WTH moment. mentioning Jung Tae Soo, he found religion in prison, so saw him for a shot or two, not enough but - it is what it is.

they also changed the original story, revolving around the big bust of the human organ trafficking not the sick, nut-job Prosecutor (i would think that was a way bigger story, but again whatever).

Mi Young also got a mention, and ironically her she was supposedly one of the good-guys that kicked-ass in the drama - total B.S. but i guess if u r already rewriting "history" why not go all out. and as she wasn't a favorite of the viewers, she was injured at the beginning and that was that of her.
instead of her we got vixen Gwak Noh Soon, a.k.a Jessica the annoying. her sexy seductress ass was freaking annoying, so glad when "sh*t hit the fan" she acted like a normal human, without all the femme fatale sh*t - that got old fast.

even Oh Goo Tak, another annoying f*cker from the series, was way toned-down. that's cause he was sick - B.S. lol

the story is what it is, bad-guys killing other bad-guys, the cops unable to do sh*t. so we turn to the notorious 4 to save the day - which they do and then get sent back to prison. not boring but not better then the series, and that's saying something for me, as it wasn't my fav.

i haven't fallen for a ML so fast as i fell for Kang Dae Man, he was so sweet, funny and big hearted - can't help but love him. he is the best friend everybody wished they had, no matter how many obstacle were put in front of him by his wife and Noh Tae Soo, he kept "fighting" just to help out his friend. and yeah he was totally enjoying playing Detective, but that only added to how hyped he was, at doing the "job" well.

the wives were brutal, all the hitting was really annoying, get it was to add to the element of comedy, but i for one didn't find it funny, let alone hilarious. even the verbal abuse was overdone and pissed me off. Lee Mi Ok - Dae Man's wife even hit her son on the head a few times and i saw red. this sh*t slapstick comedy had it hay-day in the early 1800's time to move into the present, where hitting people aint freaking funny - but retarded.

but ignoring the females (which without the violence, u get where they r coming from, as they r worried about supporting and feeding their families. and as working women they want their hubby to do their share around the house - acceptable. but being a mega maniacal, sadistic b*tch isn't the way to go), this was a great movie, very very funny and not a boring moment.
once Detective Noh Tae Soo loosened-up and accepted Dae Man's help - it got way better, the bickering wasn't a deterrent as it added spice to their relationship. totally gonna add to my re-watch list.
