starting was difficult to comprehend and extraterrestrial like.. but as their relationship developed i could feel the sincere feeling for each other ( especially from the male lead and his sense of responsibility) and devastating pain, and cruelty of love , compassion.
this is not for fairy tale lovers or someone who likes fast paced story.
this is deep, dark n uneasy to relate in real life... on one side but on other side, ... beautiful , humane n sacred.
eventhough, i liked the movie, i won't be able to watch /want to watch it again, bcoz it is somewhat disturbing for me

Was taken back by the picture quality at first as it is made in 1999 and also lead to few initial confusion as i could not detect some context difference .
Nevertheless the story keeps you gripped down .
Mystery is build up smoothly early on. You constantly get questions on your mind and want to keep watching.
In my case i did not see that reveal coming.
While i did find some scenes lackluster overall i found it very interesting and intriguing. Few scenes and interactions were brilliantly done. I was not excited about the romance part but did not hate it since it served to develop the story.
I did not pay attention to the music.it does its job to keep viewers on edge . Rewatch value is less because the mystery is already solved so surprise factor will be lost after but still i would like to watch again to see if there are more clues and details that i missed the 1st time.(not anytime soon since its pretty gruesome)
Not an avid watcher of horror thriller kind movie .
May be that could be a reason why i have enjoyed this movie so much but would highly recommend (especially for Halloween month).

Gun women is not your typical movie and definitely not for the general or weak hearted. Let me warn you , it is very low budget movie with disturbing brutal scenes, lots of gore and exploitation , nudity, bloody, and violent. Also don't expect awesome acting talent.
But regardless of this all, it is a smartly done revenge story . I liked how they told the story and how the revenge is played out. This is a very specific genre of movie created for a niche audience. Runtime is on the short side which is long enough to keep the story neat and tight. Perfect for some pastime when you at are in the mood (not for weekend family movie)

Watching ep1 was truely terrific !! It made my expectation rise.... perhaps i had too much high hopes for this one (-_-;) that upon finishing this drama, dissapointment was enormous (T_T)
What i liked :
= Excellent idea of the story .... the plot was fresh !!! (don know other drama having similar storyline) , it was intigruing ... got me reveted in no time n it was unpredictable largely
= great acting by teen twins (good job Park hyung sik !!! ) n other characters
= creative way of storytelling .... each episode projected a little bit of experiences that the twins went through... which shaped their respective personalities to adulthood ..... and this help explain their change of behaviour ..... but it was done little by little ..... so kept me guessing as well as gave new insights to the character's personality
What i disliked :
= main actor Suh Joon Yong's acting .... it was okay until these brothers got swapped . I can understand that the story needed the viewers to b confused over the twins , but even so i cudn't find any demarcation betwn the elder n younger twin ..... the brothers were supposed to have completely different persanalities but he acted same to same for both ones when they got exchanged
= Irresponsible n incomplete plot .... while i liked the story idea, till i finished watching found plot mismatches here n there.... i cudnot help but getting the vibe that the makers were a little bit careless only giving attention to ill karma between the two brothers....
= lack of character development ... well,, this may b greatly bcoz of so few episodes
even then this lacked a lot in character development for me
=Time n Event relevance ..... it was very difficult to understand the flasback's time order (what i mean is, which scene happened first ?? for eg . was the visit of mother in jail was before she got addict with drugs or was it after ... )
= the ending .... first i will make myself clear that i am not biased with happy endings or any other kind ...
Its ending was Sad, Unclear n Pessimistic...... it wud have been better if at least they showed some downfall of drug world
So all in all , despite having a promising start n great story , this was a huge dissapointment. I wud not reccomend it proactively, but for entertainment purpose only its worth watch once for .
