    A Masterpiece of Perfect Acting

    The lead actor's performance in this film was truly a testament to their immense talent. While the fact that this is their final work brings a sense of deep sadness, I was profoundly moved by their portrayal. Seeing them deliver such a passionate and heartfelt performance, reminiscent of their earlier TV appearances, brought both joy and nostalgia. The film's unique focus on cryptocurrency, combined with the grounded nature of its true-story basis, added a compelling layer of depth, making it an unforgettable viewing experience. The cinematography and pacing further enhanced the emotional weight, leaving a lasting impression.

    really miss actor Song Jae-rim

    It was so much interesting to deal with the coin, and it made me miss actor Song Jae Rim. It was nice and nice to see actor Song Jae-rim. All the actors' acting was soooo great. And I was really immersed in this movie. Actually, I didn't expect much before, but I enjoyed watching it until the end because the actors' acting was good. It was also more interesting because it was a true story. It was shocking.. I think it'd be better to watch it at a movie theater. I'm going to watch it again next time if I have a chance. This is a movie that I want to watch when I think of actor Song Jae Rim..!!!

    A movie based on a cryptocurrency crash.

    A movie based on a cryptocurrency crash that affected victims not only in South Korea but around the world.

    I watched it with interest because it was inspired by this shocking incident.

    I sincerely hope that those responsible for the crime are brought to justice through proper legal procedures and face the consequences they deserve.

    The acting in the film was outstanding, and I understand that this is the final work of the Korean actor Song Jae-rim.

    While it's heartbreaking to think about, the actor's performance and the story were truly captivating and engaging.

    I hope this movie reaches a wide audience and gets the recognition it deserves.

    An Unexpected Gem from South Korea

    I must confess, this was my first foray into Korean cinema, and initially, I found myself rather bewildered by the unfamiliar educational landscape and social dynamics of Seoul. The first thirty minutes, with all the talk of school districts and educational privileges, felt quite foreign to my British sensibilities.

    However, darlings, once the story shifted into the cryptocurrency scheme, I was absolutely riveted. Song Jae-rim (who I've learned, tragically, passed away after this film) delivers a performance that transcends any cultural barriers. The way he portrays Do-hyun's transformation from an ambitious young man into something far more complex is simply brilliant - rather reminds me of Michael Corleone's character arc, if I'm honest.

    The mother-son relationship particularly resonated with me, despite being set in a different cultural context. Kim Hye-soo as Ok-ja is absolutely magnificent - every British mum who's ever pushed their child toward Oxbridge will recognise that steely determination in her eyes.

    What began as a curious peek into Korean cinema turned into one of the most engaging financial thrillers I've seen in ages.

    The latter half had me perched on the edge of my sofa, clutching my cuppa gone cold. Even my husband, who typically dozes off during foreign films, remained wide awake throughout.

    A splendid introduction to Korean cinema, though I'm told this is rather different from their usual fare. Quite gutted to learn it was Song's last performance - what a tremendous loss to cinema.

    Slow-Burn Brilliance in the Age of Quick Profits

    Che, let me tell you something about Korean cinema - when they take their time to build tension, they really know what they're doing. Song Jae-rim's final film (yes, sadly his last before passing) is exactly that kind of movie that makes you settle in, maybe grab a mate, and just let it simmer.

    The pacing might seem relaxed for some, but that's exactly what makes Do-hyun's descent into financial manipulation so believable, no? Each decision, each moral compromise feels natural, like watching a pot slowly boil over. Song nails it with this subtle performance - you can see the transformation in his eyes way before it happens in the script.

    Look, I've seen plenty of films about corruption and greed, but this one hits different. Maybe it's the way they portray the cryptocurrency scenes (mad respect for making boring computer screens look intense), or maybe it's just Song's magnetic presence. Either way, I found myself completely hooked, even during the slower moments.

    The ending... well, no spoilers, but it's the kind of conclusion that makes you want to grab a drink and debate about it all night. Not your typical Korean thriller, and that's exactly why it works.
