Just saw this today. What did Sup Forums think? I liked it but was a bit caught off. Was expecting a thriller.

I fapped like 6 times
Same. It had a lot sexiness instead of violence not that I'm complaining. The film is pretty forgettable.
I thought it was sweet with the romance. Forgettable seems a bit strong?
Not a Titanic but noteworthy I thought. The sex scenes seemed excessive latter half though.
It's all right.
I was annoyed as soon as I recognized the plot and story from "Fingersmith". "Handmaiden" was quite a lot sexier though.
Third act problems abound.
Despite all his hype I really think Chan-wook is the least consistent of the "big 3" SK directors from the noughties.
I liked it. Not my favorite from Park (I like Stoker best) but it's still very much his style.
Dem sex scenes tho, wew.
The end of part 1 had me gutted but the reveal was nice. After Old Boy I expected a sad or horrible ending but was happy. I thought the final boat scene spoiled the mood however.
Someone post the webm. You know the one
>Happy
But the best character died.
I didnt like him. He was an asshole. My favourite was Sook Hee. Actress herself was beautiful and looked like she had not undergone surgery which was a huge plus.
I found him to be the only sympathetic one honestly.
Sook Hee was good. I found her opposite miscast however. I guess casting an actual Japanese actress would have been out of the question.
>only sympathetic
Guy planned to screw over a seemingly innocent woman/ maid into a mad house for his own gains.
Guy was an ass man.
>opposite miscast
How so? I didnt read the story the movie was based off but she seemed alright. Only way id cast it is to get Sook Hee a dead ringer i suppose.
>Guy planned to screw over a seemingly innocent woman/ maid into a mad house for his own gains.
He was a wannabe Casanova. And he had the best lines. I'm not judging him morally I just found him the most interesting/human.
>How so?
tbph I just didn't find her very attractive.
Fair point on the Casanova comment.
>tbph I just didn't find her very attractive
That too. Honestly I felt Sook Hee's actress looked a fair bit younger than her but supposedly thats not the case.
the twist has a twist on the twist
and what a twist it was!
Yeah but idk who they should have cast instead. I guess someone as cute as the lead like Lee Da Hae or IU would've worked. Would have given the romance a more childish tone I guess.
Of course it would've been extremely hard given the subject matter but I would've taken less sex for a cuter Lady Hideko.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Interesting genre bending, great production design and cinematography.
At least he got to die with his dick___ intact.
The maid was cuter than the lady
