부산행

I had wanted to see this movie since beginning of summer when it was annouced. Not that I'm a fan of zombies but it looked like a fun movie to watch. It grew stronger as it got more interest in media and it became the highest sold movie.
Although it is supposed to be scary I found some scenes hilarious. But some things really annoyed me too, as they became so Korean, I wondered, I hope they can see that they do have a problem in the society. And not only look at it as "this is just a movie". Some scenes really showed how Korean the movie is. Not that it's bad but more, this needs to change!
I think the movie was well made and it was interesting to see it until the  end! Worth watching for sure.
