Fascinating

True life murder is puzzling and controversial to this day. Two 17 year old American friends blame each other for a random killing of a Korean student in a toilet in a hamburger joint in Seoul. Only 3 people were in the bathroom. So one of the 2 teens must have been the murderer. All the uncertainty of memories and perception come into play. Reminds of the Amanda Knox killing. Except one of them is the killer for sure.

Famous star Song Joong Ki in an early role as the victim. Usually sweet actor Jang Keun Guk shows a different side here as one of the suspects a half Mexican half Korean son of an American military contractor. A bit more background about the suspects would have helped.

Worth a watch. Read up about the murder details and the implications this movie had on what happened after that.
