The shadow of Hong Kong movies can be clearly felt, and the frame is indeed very similar to the combined version of Infernal Affairs and Chilling. However, I feel that the rhythm in the front of the film is a little procrastinated, and the structure arrangement is a little abrupt. The soundtrack of this film has a lot of Hong Kong flavor in many scenes. However, the handling of details and the handling of human nature undoubtedly brought out Korea's own taste. This film is more like gray. There is no pure gangster and police division. Everyone has human weaknesses. I thought Li Zicheng would kill those Yanbian sticks, but unexpectedly, he hired them to kill Section Chief Jiang and Chief Gao, but it is reasonable, the first half of this film has fully exaggerated Li Zicheng. The fate of a chess piece, from the Go teacher played by Song Ji Hyo, seems to be alluding to this point. This is different from Infernal Affairs, Huang Sir is a little more tender, but Section Chief Jiang is obviously more like a policeman for his purpose. In fact, it feels that Section Chief Jiang is actually very helpless. For the plan that has already begun, he has to force Li Zicheng to include his wife. It is very true whether the police who do this to achieve their goals are righteous or evil. The final choice of Ding Qing and Li Zicheng in the movie and the death of Section Chief Jiang all throw this question to the audience.
Let's talk about the two heirs. Ding Qing seems to be a concubine, but he knows it well. Zhongjiu is not stupid, but his personality is slightly less attractive. The overall situation is not as good as Ding Qing. Ding Qing let Li Zicheng go. Of course, he can't say that the friendship between gangsters is better than the relationship between the police, but it does show the true humanity. Li Zicheng guesses that he has to blur his identity. Ding Qing is like a gangster. A light in the middle sometimes reminds him and sometimes inspires him. In the end, Ding Qing asked Li Zicheng to choose and be ruthless, probably because he had seen through the tricks of the police. The New World Project should be considered a success, but the new world of Kinmen and Li Zicheng have just begun. Will the police send another Li Zicheng to control Jinmen? It is said that entertainment writers and artists are fish and water, and sometimes I think that such big gangsters and police are also fish and water.
PS to add three highlights, Chinese cottages are really famous overseas, and Yanbian sticks, or the international reputation of Chinese hackers is so high.
