Movie Review
First thing that I want to highlight is that the number of F* was uttered throughout the movie plot. It’s just a daily conversation between the grocery products and soon I was immune to the word. The storyline was quite simple and injects some humour into it.There are quite a few scenes that draw laughter especially on the jokes. And the ending of the story was indeed a R21 food porn scene. Oh well, if you need to de-stress after work and chill, watch this and prepared for raunchy scenes to perk you up.

Movie Review:
This is my first time watching Korean action movie with inspired by true events. The plot drives the life-or-death struggles between the communism and the Korean love of family. “Ideology is thicker than blood” was mentioned several times throughout the movie. This appears to be one of the prominent idioms in the public representation of the Korean War experience in postwar South Korea.
A lot of intimate violence from the movie along the way with good plot except on the initial start of the movie that made us confused. We were thinking who the bad guy is initially but subsequently we get hold of the story. Many intense scenes that caught us off-guard and our eyes were glued on the screen all the time not to miss any part of the details. It is indeed a worth-while movie to watch and the war scenes and effects are well-played. The actors did a good job with the acting skills especially on their facial expressions.
