Later, Mi-Jin comes to visit Woo-Gon who is now working as a parking attendant. Mi-Jin asks him to work as his manager. Woo-Gon accepts and works hard to land parts for her. Soon, Mi-Jin is cast as the lead female character in a television drama series. Just as things seem incredibly promising for Mi-Jin, a shady tabloid scandal breaks out. Mi-Jin is identified as the woman involved in a sexual relationship with a well known politician (Ahn Sung-Ki). The source of the leaks are completely unknown. Woo-Gon tries to explain that the tabloid rumors about his client are completely untrue, but nobody listens. A few days later, Mi-Jin is found dead in her apartment. Woo-Gon then decides to find those responsible for spreading the false rumors about Mi-Jin. "
I enjoyed the film quite a lot but found many flaws. Kim Kang-Woo's Woo-Gon character was interesting to say the least as he represents an everyday man who is ambitious about getting the things he wants. As someone who has seen Kim Kang-Woo act before, he is always the one to get beat up and often can never even throw a punch. The plotline was quite interesting as it has to deal with the world of information and the internet. The director did a great job with relating the plot to the modern Korean society but was able to relate the story with the whole world. This is not a "happy film" so don't expect everything to go right and don't expect everyone to be a good person. This film is about the bare truth that are found in lies but no one ever cares to fully investigate the real truth of the matter. If you like information gathering thrillers then this movie is for you.
2.9/5
