Very funny! Oh that Korean humor we've come to know and love ... that they are now ripping off from Hollywood superhero flicks. Anyone who still thinks Korea does formulaic Hollywood crap better than Hollywood is in denial. I'm on my third try and can't even get halfway through this Buddhist Dante's Inferno kind of thing. The hero faces 7 trials in the afterlife. Each one starts out bad for him and then ... whaddaya know! There was a misunderstanding and they all turn out good for him! Wow! Didn't see that coming. Even Jung-woo Ha in a Matrix overcoat can't rise above a Ryan Gosling poser. The CGI in this thing amounts to blurring the camera a little bit. The Koreans are eating this up over there. We're doomed if the Korean Harvey Weinsteins don't get out of the way and let film makers make films. I'm angry grr.gif Summary: Having died unexpectedly, firefighter Ja-hong is taken to the afterlife by 3 afterlife guardians. Only when he passes 7 trials over 49 days and proves he was innocent in human life, he's able to reincarnate, and his 3 afterlife guardians are by his side to defend him in trial. |
