Purely Joyful Movie!
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Wow the story of this movie is indeed good and could really be happening in a real life. The main plot was telling the story about Kim Tae Sik's (Uhm Tae Woong) life on the road through journey from get on success until how he can maintain his success. The movie's ending is vague but nonetheless the movie's script is good and the acting of the actors are great, no nude scenes also which I really appreciate from Korean movies. This movie seemingly gives morale lessons of the value of life and it really good to see a movie like this instead of just cheap sex scenes or even complicated yet no-morale value. How a success could bring a person on the top to quote from this movie "to be able on the top popularity you have to become a monster" is not wrong and it's all about choices that human's made. The main applause will be for the main actor who success to give audiences un-boring acting and real feelings of his characters Uhm Tae Woong. I shouldn't feel any sympathy to the main character who was falling into the mess after the climax of the movie and becoming villain but I felt sorry for his reasons and his way of living is totally understandable in the hard real-life world. Frankly if not because Uhm Tae Woong the movie will become boring since he is the life of this movie. GOOD MOVIE!
