We wanted to watch this last Fri but changed our mind as we didn't want to miss the opening. Today, since we have the time, we thought: "Why not?"

The beginning part was slow but things picked up pretty soon. This movie will blow you away with the actor's good looks and bod and good fighting scenes. Who doesn't like an Asian Jason Bourne - smart, handsome and infallible?! :) No wonder this movie bag the most prizes at the Korean Films Award in 2010!

DC thought that the police officer's roles were too small in this type of gangster show. This part could have been strengthened...

Some sneaks from The Man From Nowhere 大叔! :)

Nice Bod!

Nice Face! :)


Won Bin... This name sounds big but I can't remember him... So, I went to do some searches. If you are wondering who this Korean star is, this should help you recall:

Brotherhood of War 兄弟 One of DC's favorite Korean/War movies...



Autumn In My Heart 秋天的童话 This must have rung a bell! Everyone knows this Korean drama!
