Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for armchair detectives and people who like their stories at full throttle. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. Shelve it next to True Romance.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 2 hr 5 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

Ji-wook is a virile detective with a reputation, but deep down in his heart, he always considered himself as a woman and finally decides to get a transsexual operation. However, his plan falls apart as vicious gang members start their revenge on him.
