Sinekatalog’s take

A man out of the army receives a desperate call from a former subordinate and old classmate, and the film opens a hard look at military hazing and its aftermath. Tense, bleak and morally unsettling, it is well suited to viewers who want a serious Korean drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
