Yong-eui-ja X

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 paces of this movie is way too slow. The lighting is too dim all the time; too many night scenes and rainy night scenes. The leading male actor is so overacting to pretend that he is a geek and a loner. When her ex beat her so viciously, keeps hitting and slapping her non-stop, yet her face still looks perfect without any bruise, no swollen or puffy bluish purple wounds, her lips still looks perfect, no blood at all. The elevator scene of the movie theater is outrageous impossible without any logic. The screenplay is full of loopholes. This is a very slow, without energy thriller.

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 first saw this in 2012. Revisited it recently.

This is the second adaptation of the novel The Devotion of Suspect X.

This is the Korean version with amazing performances. Sorry, i ain't aware of the names.

Being a Korean movie, it has some melodrama but I liked the ending of this version much better than the Japanese version.

The hardwork of the math teacher goes futile in Jap version but here in this version it doesn't.

While the Jap version has the mother n daughter, this one changed it to aunt n niece.

While in the Jap version they showed the physicist's amazing problem solving skills where he solves a crime via the explanation of physics.

This version doesn't showcases his skills.
