On repeated viewings, you begin to appreciate the little scenes the director has put in and i didn't pick up one of the running gags until the third time though, they add little to the plot but are enjoyable and fascinating as the director chooses to move at his own pace. I rarely watch films twice and never watched a film again without getting bored. I simply cannot find the words to describe how great this film is. The cinematography is outstanding with a haunting score worthy of the film's amazing direction. I'll leave it at that in terms of plot as it the film beautifully pulls you in until it's frustratingly simple conclusion. As the murders continue they find themselves powerless to use whatever clues they have to find the murderer. The story about a detective in a small countryside town who finds a serial killer yet it's the incompetencies of the police force in general and human error which leads more and more murders. However, I was blown away by the fact that I never found this film earlier and while Song is excellent in it, the film and nearly everything about it is flawless in execution. Having seen a lot of good films this year, I picked this up after watching Thirst and wanting to see more of Song Kang Ho, remembering him being great in the Host.
