Day 76 - Hello Murderer (South Korea)

"Rookie detective Jeong-Min (Kim Dong-Wook) finds difficulties with his new job. His boss doesn't like him, he has to secretly prepare for a public service exam, and the local residents are up in arms over a serial killer that the police can't catch. A protest is then organized in front of the police station by the local residents. To Jeong-Min's horror, his own mother leads the protest as she works as the general affairs manager for the women's association. The residents are particularly peeved that the serial killer is causing the value of their homes to drop. Jeong-Min then decides that he will catch the serial killer once and for all.
Meanwhile, Young-Suk (Yu Oh-Seong) is an unemployed man who recently went missing, but suddenly appears again in the neighborhood. At crime scenes Yeong-Seok always appears before the police. Yeong-Seok is a bit of an amateur Sherlock Holmes. Jeong-Min quickly takes a dislike of Young-Suk and a rivalry soon develops between the two men to catch the serial killer first. "


Not that bad though not that good. Yu Oh-Seong is way better of an actor and somewhat better to watch. I feel like the film wasn't used to it's full potential. There wasn't a whole lot of events in the film which almost gave an empty feel. Not all of the relationships were given a lot of depth and some weren't really explored at all. It is almost an depressing film rather than a comedy at times.


1/5
