Believer (2018)

Damn. Damn Damn Damn.

Excuse my language. Well for starters the story was amazing. Lot of people kinda guessed who Mr. Lee was half way through the story. It isn't one hell of an original plot. It was an ok plot but that's not what made me give this a 9.5 rating. It was the acting. Every. Single. One. were on point. Not a single actor did bad. Now let me get to the main point of this movie.

RYU JOON YEOL!!!

This is my first drama of his. I've heard raving critiques of his acting saying how good he is but for the first time I saw it. This boy can show so many emotions from his face without uttering a word. As the summary says he is quiet person but the amount affect he has on the story is amazing just by portraying his emotions. At first I wasn't that interested in him cuz he does not possess the typical K-drama boyfriend look but boy wasn't I wrong. I'm in love with him now. I wanted to watch Reply 1988 but after hearing who's the real husband I kinda didn't watch it. I love Park Bo Gum but after watching few FMVs I felt as if Hyeri had more chemistry with our sunny boy here XD But thank god they ended up together. Ok I'm going off topic but I hope we can see one of his dramas again. From here onward I will be watching all of his movies and drama. Mr. Ryu, you've found a fan here
The thing that got my attention the most.

HIS GODDAMN HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT LOOKS FREAKING GOOD> Am I the only one who noticed that?

this was good, i'm not into action movies but this was a thriller and the action (what there was of it) was short and to the point, not endless shots of people turning into punching bags. and no gory scenes...

i didn't like the detective, he wasn't a "good guy" others might say that the "end justifies the means" but not for me. i hate it when in crime dramas or movies the police r allowed to "get away with murder" just so they can get the bad-guy at the end. and everyone's so focused on the ending. that they ignore all the bloodied innocents that had to go through hell to prove their innocence. here the first girl that is murdered is "on" the cop/detective. what, cause she is already a junky she is expendable?!?
his conscious was acting up, so he just shifted the blame onto Mr. Lee - but he was the one who put her in danger.
same with the whole movie. Rak also was an innocent (at the time he was an innocent to the cops) injured and orphaned at that, and all Won-ho could see was how he could use him to catch Mr. Lee. So what is the difference between the good and the bad?!?

i for one don't care for an ending where Rak didn't survive, not cause i think he was trying to redeem himself or turn over a new leaf - and now be a good guy. maybe he was just laying low and would regroup the sec everything died down. he didn't kill Brian after all and scared the sh*t out of him - tortured him into happily taking the blame and saying he was Mr. Lee.
but cause there was no justification for the Won-ho to come seeking justice as he was no longer a cop, but just an average citizen with a grudge - u can't even call him a vigilante - as he wasn't any better then Rak.

btw i don't get why people r having a hard time getting that Rak was Mr. Lee - even after his conversation with Brian (1:39:40) before him getting tortured.
