Wow this movie just got worse and worse the longer it went on, almost like the writer himself suffered with real bad depression and wanted to write this garbage and drag the audience down with him/her. Just awful watch.

Joon-seok who have been severely bullied as a teenager in high school seeks revenge against the former classmate who ruined his life after finding out he is living a comfortable happy life in his adulthood with out any regrets from the past.

The two protagonists of this film are horrid people. The simpering "victim" and the arrogant "bully." The victim doesn't even get the full brunt of the bully's sadistic behavior but bears the pain of a wronged friend vicariously, never letting go and never forgetting his miserable high school existence. The bully is shown to deserve the campaign of pain the now grown up victim will bring by refusing to show the slightest contrition for his behavior. But the victim is so pathetic it is impossible to feel any compassion for his "plight" or take pleasure with him in his schadenfreude. And so these two bring misery and death to those close to them. (well one person gets off scot-free in the film's gonzo ending, but still...) Yeah yeah the movie's a "cautionary tale" about bullying and how revenge can make one worse than a bully but the message is hopelessly muddled in poor storytelling. The movie looks so good but the content is beyond disappointing. What a waste.

This is a film about young man who, as a teenager, was relentlessly bullied and abused by classmates and school officials. The boy who was his main aggressor and the "pack" lead of his bullies, is wealthy, cruel and rapes his girlfriend while the rest of the pack holds him while he has to helplessly watch. The following day, his girlfriend commits suicide.

Years later, and still guilt ridden and traumatised by his experiences, he is unable to live life the way he wants after dropping out of school to break free from his tormentors. He has a chance encounter with his rich, happy, engaged to a beautiful doctor, aggressor, who acts like it was no big deal. This intices the anger in our main character and he sets out to do what he can to find revenge.

It's not the best. The story has promise but in the end, I was left a bit unsatisfied. While I felt some sympathy for the main character in the beginning of the film, there were some bonding behaviors in the second half of that didn't sit right with me. This had nothing to with the acting and everything to do with the script. The bully got all my hate though. He was just straight A**HOLE all through the film. I wanted to see him get it.

I didn't like the end of the film seeing as how it lacked a bit of poetic justice and there was a little that was left unresolved. It wasn't horrible just not as good as I was hoping.

Very abusive. But it reflects a reality, when you are a failure from school, how to turn the tables? The protagonist won the first half in his own way, but unfortunately lost the second half in front of money. PS. Lots of beautiful women
