This is a fun movie if one doesn't take it to seriously. Best not to go in expecting an Asian version of The Prestige or similar movies. This is basically a subtle comedy with some good characters, good acting, and good directing. The script is a bit confusing at times as one tries to figure out exactly what is going on, but for the most part everything holds together.
I wouldn't call this a great movie or even a "good" movie, but it was fun enough to hold attention for a couple of hours. I came close to giving this 7 stars, but there simply wasn't much that stood out here to make this special. Six stars is my "better than most" rating, which is about where this sits. The actors and the characters they play are the best part, so kudos to them. All in all it's worth the watch.
