Very well executed

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Characters are interesting and believable. The storyline is also interesting and, although I've never been part of a loan shark operation, what happens in the story makes sense and is also believable. The movie kept my interest throughout and I was definitely rooting for the main character, who definitely had more than her fair share of hardship and misery in her life. Although she's a loan shark gang member, her basic humanity shows throughout and made me like and sympathize with her. She was fundamentally decent and human, in a good way, throughout the movie.Strong ensemble cast also helped establish the believability and credibility of the characters. One of the best movies I've seen in a while.

This movie sort of reminded me of the the movie "Hwayi: A Monster Boy", except I liked the story and direction of this movie. Even if there is less action in this one. I just thought the story as a whole worked better and the character actions was actually kind of interesting. I a pretty predictable movie, but I didn't really get bored or anything like that from start to finish. So the plot is about a baby girl that is found in a coin locker and is raised to be in a loan shark group. That interact with one another like a crazy super dysfunctional family. However she falls in love with a boy that owes money. The plot does get sort of emotionally depressing, but it didn't really leave an impact. It didn't really hit the core to the point it left an impression. But what this is, is a dark psychotic distraught movie about a girl turning to the dark side. Not really a character, but how the environment and parents can play a huge factor in a child. Overall, this is a movie that is quite watchable, but only once.7/10

Although this is not horror, I saw this film during a horror festival. Their idea was to introduce "horror" that was more related to crime/violence, rather than real horror. Was it a success? Yes. I usually lack words to describe what I like about films, especially when I really like them. I wanted this film to be good but I thought it would end up being a normal film - I was wrong. The acting was really good (from main to secondary characters), the crudeness of a life of crime was very clear, the confusion of the main character when facing a clarity that wasn't there before was heartbreaking and your heart will shrink and shrink an shrink as the story goes on. This is not a pretty story and it's not embellished. This is about a girl who was brought to a life of crime, dealing with lack of love and working to survive. It's a film about a human being that is trying to find her spot in this world of horror - horror done simply by people who are just evil. As a last note, I would also like to add, since this is a Korean film, I was worried my friends wouldn't enjoy it (since a lot of times cultural differences are plastered in the films but unless you understand those differences you won't be truly able to appreciate the work before you), but they actually did. If you want to introduce yourself to Korean films (and if you like action and violence), this is a really good film. If you know something about Korean culture it won't hurt, but if you don't you won't find yourself lost in translation. Totally recommend watching this.

This movie for me is almost flawless, the story is showing us how's the life of a girl when everything goes wrong. With this movie you won't waste your time it lets you with a weird mood, maybe you're confused, sad and overall a bittersweet ending, nothing is perfect just life as life it is. If you're expecting romance or a comedy you're in the wrong place so go and search other, this isn't a light movie it's kind of heavy in some aspects but I don't regret watching it, very good movie.The acting of the movie is perfect I mean everyone was so good and I wanted to watch this for Park Bo Gum but when I saw Kim Hye Soo I was blown away she has been always one of the best Korean actress in her range but wow just wow for me this was almost her best role, Kim Go Eun keeps being the actress which I keep looking for. The rest was great as usual but the funny part is that I think someone watched Park Bo Gum and Go Gyeon Pyo and thought "omg let's put them in reply 1988".The music well it fits the movie nothing outstanding.Rewatch value it's a movie you can re-watch but not a movie to watch if you're just bored.If you liked Hwayi you will love this movie, kind of similar just that this movie is with a girl and hwayi is about a boy.
