Reviews
This review may contain spoilers
Another Kong Sang Ho movie. His acting is confirmed to be good. No doubt a versatile actor. One of the best Korean actor. The movie show a regular office workers that has been struggling and unhappy with job and life overall. Getting into evening sport somehow gave him sense of purpose and so much confident for his day job. Physical sport is not the strength of office worker, but his practice and determination put himself into the ring fight. He wasn’t the best, but he just keep going.
For people that have not gotten use to watching or involve in the ring fight, it might be hard to watch so much body slamming and hurting, wonder how a person can survive such horrible body damage.
Watch it as pure entertainment, its all just acting. It shows a day job office worker were able to stood up again his supervisor bully. He finally face those street bullies. . . He is still not perfect, still clumsy, still awkward toward ladies, still not success. I like that this movie is very raw and not making the main actor into a big hero or ultra unbelievable success.
Good watch
