Life is Easier If You’re Handsome

[Brutal but Not Brutal]

• There are definitely a lot of brutal scenes, but they don’t feel that way.
• It doesn’t have that gory feel at all, and there’s no horror vibe either.
• More like watching a documentary? Yeah.

↳ Exactly, lol.
↳ It’s like how you don’t think a lion tearing apart its prey in Planet Earth is brutal. That kind of feeling.
↳ Probably because the acting makes it feel like they’re just naturally killing what needs to be killed… The actions are brutal, but the execution feels peaceful.
↳ Yeah, “peaceful execution” describes it perfectly.

• (Photo of actors greeting the audience from the stage)
• I had to run six computers and mobilize my whole family to get these tickets.
• My mom’s hands must be divine…

↳ Can I borrow your mom? I need her.
↳ (OP) Fuck off.
↳ Haha, sorry.
↳ I got so immersed that I started seeing the Hero and Kim Donghu as the same person.
↳ If someone called him a criminal, he’d probably just put on his knuckles right then and there, lol.

[Kim Donghu... You’re Back]

• After wasting time shooting dumbass rom-coms, he’s finally returned to his true self.
• Donghu, you are cinema. Cannes, the Academy, Venice, and Berlin are all just waiting for you to show up.

↳ Ffs, we can’t even stop Donghu Gallery from turning into a drama vs. movie war.
↳ Mods, do your job and delete this trash.
↳ YOU BASTARDS!!!!!! KIM DONGHU IS A ROM-COM ACTOR!!!!!!
↳ You mean the rom-com that broke 40% ratings? Final was 45? 46? Yeah, I get it. But don’t even think about comparing it to film.
↳ I don’t care how well he does in dramas. Can he take them overseas? No. Cinema has the impact.

[Breaking News! True Hero Opening Day Audience Count Is In!!!]

• 500,000 on day one.
• 2 million expected by the second day.
• Faster than Yi Sun-shin by a full day.
• Might break the record for the fastest 10 million admissions.

↳ If this really happens, it’s going down in history.
↳ Beating Yi Sun-shin isn’t easy; don’t get ahead of yourselves.
↳ Still, the speed is already legendary.

Back when movie tickets still cost 12,000 won,
when watching a movie was just another casual date activity,
when films were still considered decent entertainment.

With the right discounts, a ticket could even go for under 10,000 won,
so if word got out that something was worth watching, people would rush to the theaters.

Plus, True Hero didn’t rely on excessive gore for its impact.
It kept the door open for families to watch together, which was a huge advantage.

[Wait, how did this even get a 15+ rating?]

• It does have human trafficking in it, but maybe because that’s not the main focus?

↳ Korea’s always been lenient with gore ratings.
↳ Yeah, unless it’s drugs or explicit content, they’re chill.
↳ It’s brutal but within the standard action movie range, so it’s fine.
