I wasn't bored at all (sometimes the pacing did seem slow) but I liked the plot twist that was slowly revealed as the movie went on, and I'm glad he kept his signature look and feel. I thought it was a great take on vampire lore that was less about trying to destroy these evil creatures, but how one would survive in modern society. I quite enjoyed the film, and so did my friends.

But this is bad Asian cinema. I was bored out of my mind, and looking at the other faces sitting in my row, I wasn't the only one. My group walked out in the middle of the Q&A cause even that was boring beyond belief. Park Chan-wook spent like 10 minutes explaining "i picked the old music because she's the mother, and the modern music because the other characters are younger." OH REALLY?! Yeh, Olde Boy was great but he didn't write it. Coincidence? No. Yes, you should support Asian cinema. But this is bad Asian cinema.
