Yong-eui-ja X

I've yet to see the original Japanese version of this story, but the Korean version is one more reason why I feel Korea makes some of the best movies around.

A story of logic and math, this story emphasizes the relationships over the usual mystery. It's about why did it more than how did it, and the ending like a character says is happy and bitter.

The acting in excellent and the music is also a great part in why it's so effective.

I'm not going to give a lot of detail about the plot or the characters. See the move on Youtube with English subtitles and enjoy.

South Korean cinema, definitely one of my favorites. They manage to surprise me every time. From all Asian countries, they're by far the best. No overacting like in the other Asian countries, instead you get more than decent acting. Yong-Eui-Ja X (or Perfect Number for the English title) is a slow paced crime thriller. Good cinematography, engaging story, and excellent acting. Maybe not the best South Korean movie but certainly worth watching.

I won't spoil it for you, but its not the ending you would want from a movie like this. A powerful love story hidden behind a smart crime/mystery chain of events .. well crafted . Enjoyable movie until the very last part.. left me in tears. Watch at your own risk.

This movie was remade by vijay antony 'KOLAIKARAN'. But this surprised than tamil movie.. A brilliant maths teacher try to help of his crush to escape from a murder.. Climax was soo stunning and explained well.. Must watchable movie..

I liked this a lot. I've seen where this was a remake of an earlier film but this is my first time watching either. There were times when it seemed to be a bit slow, in my opinion, but over all there was a level of subtle suspense that held out through the whole film. It was sorta sad and I didn't really liked the way it ended even if it was the way it was "supposed" to end. It was worth a watch. Clever.
