Golly. What a ride it is! It's beautifully shot, and it has a very immersive plot and extremely absorbing characters.
I was impressed with how well the Korean actors spoke Japanese – I read that some of them learnt Japanese especially for the film. All of their accents and pronunciation were spot on, which was nice to see.
Apparently this is based on a British book by Sarah Waters. I loved the idea of re-telling it in colonial Korea. Brilliant.
Really enjoyed this. 9/10
