One of the more emotional, disturbing films that Kim Ki-Duk has ever written and directed.

The magic of his film-making is that he takes the viewer to understand how certain worlds operate and how his characters set their rules that apply to that world.

I became curious for more films by Ki-duk-Kim, who has a reputation for delivering movies that are pretty edgy about relations between men and women. And this one is pretty edgy. Viewers are lured by a speech-impaired, low-class pimp Han-gi (Cho Je-Hyun) who after being attracted to middle-class college coed Sun-hwa (Seo Won) sitting on a park bench, violently kisses her in front of her boyfriend and then is beaten in public by a few soldiers and forced to apologize.
