    Had potential, but lacking in many ways

    I just watched the movie Real and I can only give it 4 stars.. For me the movie was confusing. I understand that they want to bring complexity and create space for people having their own interpretation. But for that to happen there need to be enough elements to form a decent plotline. For me the narrative was so little and it focused too much on the aesthetics. Although it was pleasant to watch and I liked the color schemes, It simply is not enough if the story is lacking.

    Besides all the negative aspects Kim Soohyun's acting was really refreshing. It was nice to see him take on two roles for this movie. Both were very distinctive and it was a pleasure to see him in different roles than I've seen him before. I always appreciate actors/actresses who show how versatile they can be.

    Despite the positive points like acting, visuals and music these will not save the movie if the story is lacking.

    Dont even try

    A classic case of actual villan of the movie turns out to be the director of the movie..

    The story line is about helping beggars and giving them a life. .

    Infact if you really cared about your movie plot.. instead of making this worst movie ever you should have used that money towards beggars uplift.. atleast we would have been spared.

    I don't understand how such big actors with so much experience fail to see they are going to torcher audience with such screenplay.

    Please next time if you ever think of making a movie please enact with junior actors or use some AI tool to make the movie first .. watch it yourselves and feel the pain you are going to leave on moive goers.

    Not the best, but definitely not the worst film in Korea's history

    The plot is confusing and a mess however, every single action sequence in this movie is fast-paced, fluid, intense, and beautifully shot. It kind of has a John Wick-esque to it. It is visually stunning. But the one who carries the film is definitely the main character, actor Kim Soo Hyun. His performance is nuanced enough to elevate the film, and he is able to eliminate the image of an innocent good guy from his previous works such as My Love from Another Star. Kim Soo Hyun does not deserve the critique he gets, he should instead be applauded for his performance.

    Watched it since it popped up as a recommendation...

    It is my first time watching Kim Soo Hyun (he reminds me a lot of Apo from the KinnPorsche show), I am very impressed with his acting. You could easily tell the characters he played apart by their mannerisms. I understand the story and it is definitely unique but I just wish it would've focused more on the story/plot and less on the mimicking process. It was pretty obvious what the one guy was doing half way through the movie, I feel like the actual story should've started coming together by then. The movie was over 2hrs, I think there was enough time to explain everything "behind IT" but instead the ending was rushed. I have many questions, especially how, who and why?...

    The visuals were very nice. Sulli was very pretty. The actors were good, just a very poorly put together story/plot.

    Great story, complex brain game, however lacked artistically.

    I saw a scene from this movie while surfing on instagram, I was intrigued. Doing research beforehand I was informed what this movie was made of and was excited to see a mpvie where I, the viewer would have to dissect this story and put the pieces together. Watching the movie I was thoroughly impressed by the beautiful design of this futuristic world, and the performances given by this incredibly talented cast. I also appreciated that this film has its own genre and cannot simply classified as Action, Noir, etc. The plot was very interesting and perfect for the psychological roller coaster that this movie went for. However there were things I did not appreciate. Again, I loved dissecting this film and analyzing this plot, however it comes to the point where the director, a young director, was simply making certain aspects complex, for the sake of being complex. Much like a young musican may write highly complex and dazzling compositions to impress a crowd. The movie lacked substance, or that which makes the beautiful art of film thrive. Leaving out certain key bits of information are great for leaving the audience in limbo until it is revealed which will relieve them. However i disagree with the directors choice to hold everything back. Some of the characters have unknown origins or motives, which causes the audience to have a lack of connection to said character. Why havent we addressed clearly who are the rivaling parties? To simply address them briefly in conversation takes away from the effect of the film and added suspense and tension that could have been utilized. Hopefully this young hotshot director will grow and use his talent to write complex, unique stories to write with much more substance.
