Personnally, I didn't care bout the mandarin or cantonese languages... I always prefer to watch actors speaking in their mother tongue anyway.
Although I don't understand Korean, I enjoyed watching the movie very much (not to mention the hottest erotic scenes between the lovers!!)
"Menage a trois" or adultery is not a very original subject in the industry. As a result, it makes the attempt of any director to make it captivating and intriguing very difficult.
The success of this movie lays more in the way it is beautifully and romantically filmed, and the way it is spontaneoulsy and well acted, rather than in the story itself. The spectator will like each caracter, because one can easily relate to each of them. They are just "every day", working, middle-class people, otherwise very sensible and likeable, who are caught in a dangerous path which they didn't choose. None wants to act soon enough and escape from this path, until it is too late.

The movie picks some momentum during the first half, but runs out of puff during the second and culminates with a fairly dull end. It is essentially a 'a day in the life of' kind of a movie. Lots of movie time has been spent shwoing people chopping vegetables, working in office, driving to work and watching TV instead developing the characters and making the simple story a wee bit interesting.

The DVD quality and the dubbing is poor.

this is a korean movie and it is somewhat mysterious why its audio track is in cantonese and mandarin dubbing only... the dubbing usually need to match with the lip movement and therefore it is hard to match the original script. that said, the mandarin dubbing is not bad. if it can have the original korean audio track, would be one more option for the viewer.

for the video, it kind of feels like a VHS to DVD-R transfer work.

this movie has quite a bit of suspense and the details are quite nicely filmed... a bit grotesque kind of movie but if you like story with original plot and don't mind grotesque movies then you may like it.

This movie just shows you what can happen when you have someone with "power" that's just a little...crazy. In the end, it's another murder story. Three stars!!
