After all, I immediately realized that this is a remake of Velvet Fingers, which I liked so much earlier. I'm not against remakes, it's always interesting how a familiar story will be shown from the other side. But, alas, the fact that I was familiar with the original did not play into the hands of this film. And this is not only because the main plot twist did not come as a surprise to me. The director simply did not reveal the characters enough to make the motivation for their actions look compelling enough. As a result, their reaction to what is happening in places looks too affected. The picture is certainly very beautiful, but it does not cover the rest of the cons. Park Chan-wook definitely went too far with erotica, turning into light pornography, that you involuntarily begin to be embarrassed by what is happening on the screen - this transition is so swift. It would seem that the film should talk about love, how pure and beautiful it is, that it can literally save a person. And so it would be, but the emphasis on sexuality and inappropriate humor does not make the right impression. As a result, there is no sympathy for the difficult fate of the main characters, and it is almost a pity for a simple swindler. England - Korea 1:0.… Expand
