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: If you count yourself among anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street, this one's for you. Power and ambition drive every scene.
The mood: Gritty, eye-opening.
The pace: Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 48 min.
What might put you off: It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The Grand Canal project was one of the key pledges of the former President Lee. He first said that he was carrying out a project to save the four rivers but it was a lie. He eventually proceeded the project which was a hotbed of all kinds of irregularities. After ten years, now the river is dying. Some people collaborated to the past regime, and some resisted it. On whom will we stand?
