Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
演员阵容很强大，但故事总体上还是弱了些，特别是开头和中间，结尾部分还不错，挺温暖的。最喜欢姜河那和李光洙那两个小故事。
很无聊，也就姜河那演的那个角色有点意思，其他人的故事一般演技也一般，找那么多有名的演员结果就这种垃圾剧本，如果放院线的话只能说是想圈钱。
但是能在岁末的冬夜里让我看到所有故事的美好
温暖桥段大杂烩也还是让人挺开心的 李栋旭还是和小时候一样帅啊
帅哥美女在好看的地方swtich partner算是partofmyfantasy
导演在好言规劝我们千万不要踏进这爱情的漩涡，没有人能独善其身，哪怕风流浪子或老实诚恳，都经不起折腾。镜头语言，音乐绝美，甚至剪辑都是太棒了。
新年电影，韩式温情。再多的苦难都会在最后化成好的姻缘。再见2021，你好2022。
很像酒店宣传片，但合家欢是我永远的爱。
一个假如出现时，假如里的我就不再是现在的我，我是另外一个我，爱上的也会是另外一个你，世间不稳定的关系，时刻可能改变的观点，初见欢喜甚是喜欢，也希望久处以后仍然怦然，只可惜我们惋惜初见之欢，无法保持久处仍有心动瞬间
在电影院看的很幸福 因为在女主角一样的职位工作过 非常共感 最后电梯里那段我真实落泪 还有女主弟弟的脸完全my style
跳楼意外收获林允儿哈哈哈/可以说几个故事毫无关联
跨年夜的环球影城和新荣记希望有人替我爱你。
插曲都很好听，剧情…很无语，轻快合家欢≠浮皮潦草不过脑
韩版《真爱至上》，
想拍韩国版真爱至上没有关系，但也拍得太烂了吧？演员也都是随便演演的感觉，最用心的地方竟然是音乐。
姜河那又是这种傻憨憨角色！！！ 承包了我的笑点(还有光洙 为什么他哭我想笑哈哈哈哈)
四人的排列组合来讨论soulmate挺有意思的，但出轨那一段的有种是为了论证“苹果论”而安排，因为两位女主面对出轨做出不一样的选择时，并没有符合两女主的性格。
7.0 可喜欢韩志旼了，李阵郁是我觉得斯密达里吻戏太可的前三。李光洙…终于演了经纪人，小迷糊也终于发达了。最后一直在等允儿出场，是美丽的，和姜河那得那条线也是搞笑的
在听觉方面真的不错，叫醒服务真的很…暖…“你是这世上最珍贵的”这样的歌词也真的很打动我…谁懂…也许你在无意中就拯救了绝望的人呢。《废柴舅舅》里，舅舅说他曾经想过跳海，但是，突然闻到了一股味道，好像是很美味的东西，他想，吃了再死吧，结果吃的时候就觉得很委屈，凭什么放着这么好吃的东西去死。我们啊，都是靠着一些小小的理由活下去的。
无缝切换，陕西话这就是“”乱爱“。看的迷迷糊糊，想法挺好，但是因为文化差异，加上故事剪切，有点乱炖，看得晕乎。
