It may be that the expectations are too high, and I think it wasted two hours after watching it

Maybe it’s because of high expectations for this movie. After watching it, I felt that it wasted two hours for me. At the end, I was praying that the movie would end soon. Why is it not over? It’s not my favorite type, but it’s fatal. I guess I don’t like this style. If you say suspense, you can’t talk about it. It’s just a bit shocking. If you like real suspense, don’t waste time watching it. The plot is too procrastinated. Many shots are disgusting. Of course, this It is my family's words. If you can see a profound truth from this movie, don't make a brick. I guess the director wants to express something profound, but in my opinion: it's not worth it!

Dae-su Oh: [Dae Su is on his knees. Begging] Please. Don't tell Mido. What has she done wrong? You know it was all my fault... I have committed an unforgivable sin, against your sister. And I also... Did you wrong. Please leave Mido alone... If by any chance Mido finds out the truth, you son of a bitch, I'll tear you limb from limb. And your remains will never be found. Why? Because I'm going to swallow every last bit.
[Crawls over to Woo-Jin and starts to grovel to Woo-Jin]
Dae-su Oh: Woo-Jin! Please, sir, I made a mistake. Please forget what I said. Sir, Woo-Jin!
[Raises up on his knees to face Woo-Jin]
Dae-su Oh: We're Evergreen Oldboys, remember?
[singing]
Dae-su Oh: With the energy of a green pine tree/The Great Sangnok High...
[Grabbing hold of Woo-Jin's leg. Begging, and weeping]
Dae-su Oh: I'll do whatever you want. I'll do anything, I beg you. Woo-Jin, if you want me to be your dog. I will. From this moment on, I am Woo-Jin's dog. I'm your bitch.
[Starts barking maniacally like a dog]
Dae-su Oh: Look, I'm wagging my tail. I'm a dog, I'll guard your house. I'll be your slave...
[Starts crying frantically, and falls to Woo-Jin's feet. He begins to lick his shoes... Humiliated... defeated...]
