Really Surprised!
Beautiful, moving film.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
THE LEGEND OF 7 CUTTER is a typically quirky South Korean high school comedy, about a student who is mistaken for a legendary fighter with a penchant for cutting seven centimetre-long wounds into his victim. What follows is a low budget mix of knockabout comedy, romance, and larger-than-life situations, kept lively thanks to the efforts of an enthusiastic cast. I found it all a little too silly to be too effective, but undemanding fans of this genre will enjoy the action, the laughs, and the hijinks.
The Legend Of Seven Cutter is a comedy in a High School setting. The plot is about a student who is mistaken for a martial arts experts known as the "seven cutter". It is the stuff of legend around high schools across the country. His name is Han Su and he remains unbeaten throughout the school system. Whoever tries to fight him not only faces the indignity of losing but is left with Han-Su's trademark 7cm scar to remind them of their loss. When innocent new kid Han Su starts at Seong Ji High School, he is instantly mistaken for the "Seven Cutter". He is blissfully unaware of why the other students are giving him such an icy reception, and so when the toughest boy at Seong Ji challenges Han Su to a fight, he has no choice but defend himself. And when he accidentally wins, things start getting really confusing for Han Su. The plot is ordinary and it has some nice moments that provides enjoyable entertainment. Acting is average and plot is ordinary. Another reason to see this film is to see Yoon Eun Hye in her screen debut if you happen to be a fan of hers.
The movie begins with a school in terror for the imminent arrival of a new student, an urban legend, a bully called "the seven cutter", because he uses to carve a seven centimeters long wound on his victims. This boy is Han Su (An Jae Mo), but since the first moment he doesn't seem the right guy...As you can understand from the plot, this movie plays on misunderstanding. In the end it was a nice view, it has some funny scenes and cheesy ones too. Yoon Eun Hye, as the 'tough' girl, portrays a cute character. The weak points are that in some parts it was just boring, in the "i got it, move on with the next scene please!" way, and in the second half the plot twist's introduction was somehow confused.
