The Childe 2023

That was spectacular!! I went into this as a Kim Seon-ho fan (and also a Kim Kang-woo and Go Ara fan) but I never expected to love this movie so much! The casting is perfect, and I'd be remiss not to point out Kang Tae-ju specifically. If you enjoy noir, this film is for you.

THE POST-CREDITS SCENE LOLLLL THIS IS A PERFECT FILM FR.

Me at four in the morning halfway through the movie: Nah but Kim Seon-ho running after you like that is what nightmares are made of.

Equal parts silly and action-packed, this made for a fun watch.

Good script. One of the things I found interesting on this basic premise is that it was able to maintain the intriguing aspect of the whole ordeal the Korean Filipino kid was going through. I felt like I was on the same page as oblivious to what was happening. Because actually the structure of the movie was managed very well. As things went along, things started to make more sense.

I feel like this movie captured a few themes that elevated the scenes that utilized pretty well, comedic moments, serious and trilling moments, and this lingering mafia-esq mood the movie went with from the story side by one of the family members but, such mood felt short after a while and maintain only the action comedy aspect of it.

You can’t take an entertaining movie so seriously! It may have been watched hundreds of times, but it’s impossible to deny the charm of this strange “friend” of the main character, who takes upon himself all the burdens of self-mutilation! The mood reminded me of Belmondo’s chemistry with Delon, unexpectedly so. For once, quite

So refreshing seeing Kim Seon Ho as the Nobleman - his manic smile was positively unsettling at times. What a comeback!

Go Ara always felt better in action roles to me so this was a perfect fit for her too.

There are talks about a sequel, and I, for one, cannot wait!

Kim Seonho is completely stunning and carries the movie on his back. Kang Taeju is also great, but the script is weak, unfortunately.
