In 2015, we've all heard of Gangnam, the district in Seoul made popular by singer PSY and his Gangnam Style. But back in 1970, it was an unknown region in the middle of a development process. There we find our heroes, two orphans who manage to escape poverty by participating in a corrupt political conspiracy that winds up tearing them apart. (Sitges Film Festival)

Filmed very solidly, but the music was even better. Unfortunately, the footage is overwhelming, the story uninteresting, and there are so many characters that blend together to the point where it's just not watchable on the first viewing and you just have a mess (it's probably better on a second viewing, but given the running time, you can’t make me). So the bold erotic scenes were surprising, the over-the-top violence was not (it is a Korean gangster movie after all), but I still felt that some scenes were just extra and didn't say anything. As for Lee Min-Ho, he was basically the same as always – I don't care that he was a handsome gangster, what bothered me more about him was his voice, which just didn't fit this kind of character. On the other hand, his work with his eyes, which he used to communicate so much, was very good. Bottom line, an average film for me, but above average filmmaking.
