Synopsis

Hyuk-Jin has just broken up with his girlfriend and decides to take a trip to Jeongseon in the province of Gangwon-do. The next day, his friends are too hung over to get up, so Hyuk-Jin makes his way to his destination alone. A trip of opportunity takes a cruel and unexpected turn as misunderstanding and crossed paths occur over and over again. —IMDb

A young man is left adrift in the country when his friends who were supposed to meet him, to help him get over a breakup, fail to show. After showing up at the wrong "hotel" a nightmarish "after hours style" journey begins. A lot of drinking, being drugged, left stranded in his underwear and a friends's possible betrayal are just some of the problems to overcome. Regardless of other comments: never boring.

It took me about a week to get through this film. Whenever I got bored I switched it off. However, my determination to finish something I've started eventually got me to the end, that is the disappointing "apropos" ending mentioned below. I appreciated some of the bleak moments of contemplation... but there was no real growth or realization for hyeok-jin. Overal disappointing.

It's not a must-watch by any means but I enjoyed the story. However it does start off pretty slow. The pace and humour only really pick up halfway through the film. The humour is more chuckle inducing than laugh out loud. The ending was quite apropos.
