Despite the action and pacing feeling a bit lacklustre at times, I found it intriguing enough to carry my interest on from the premise. I'd say it has established itself as refreshingly different from the typical korean movies that I have so far encountered under the thriller/suspense genre. There's some charm to the grunge and isolation that they show through this film and left me curious enough to abandon my usual bent of trying to predict the ending and basing my satisfaction off of that.

Also, I usually would also refrain from mentioning but it's quite nice to see non-native actors playing actual characters this time instead of nameless filler roles. Hollywood with its self-congratulatory pride on filling out diversity quotas could take note.

The description of this movie alone convinced me to watch it, and the cover said it was better than any superhero film, and I'd say they weren't far off.

It reflects a very Korean style; kind of unsure about what genre it wants to be, switching between drama and comedy, but having just enough character development to have you care about the important characters but not explaining anything you don't need to know, held up by great actors.

There's some very memorable scenes in this film, and some very memorable performances, along side a great story, similar in some ways to American films like Unbreakable and Chronicle. The score to the film was also good, and quite fitting, while not necessarily memorable.

Overall I give the movie 8/10 and recommend it to anyone wanting to see a semi-dramatic movie with many entertaining, exciting, superheroesque themes.

What did they mean by this? None the less if you like really dumb and over the top films that are so bad they are good, this makes that cut, would make for a good watch with a group of people to make fun of the movie while watching it.

No answers as to how he gets the ability, no backstory to the protagonist, no nothing, lmao. Most of the film will have you just laughing in disbelief...... Should really add a comedy tag to it too, it does get kinda "serious" to the end but then again a few scenes later you are just laughing.

Not a bad film at all. Very interesting ride that kept to a nice pace. I enjoyed the story and I liked the actors. It felt a bit like anime so I wouldn't be surprised if it was based off of an anime story. I enjoyed it.

One of the best original super hero movies I have ever seen. Excellent from start to finish. This was made like a Origin story, and the two main roles played their parts to perfection. First you get a bit of a origin on the nemesis of the film. Then you meet Kyu-Nam, the quirky but lovable hero of the film. Kyu-Nam is backed up by his two best friends, and their relationship is incredibly memorable and cute. To me, this felt a bit like the American film Unbreakable. The film had a few minor issues, but they couldn't take away from the charm. Fans of superhero films will love this. Also, other reviews speak of the two main roles having the same powers, but their powers aren't even close to similar. 8/10 stars.
