One fine day, I’ll have to check out LADY VENGEANCE again. Even reading my review, I can’t remember much about the film. I just remember it being the weakest link of all three films. But my tastes have evolved since then.

I was going to go on the defensive and say that my review prior to this one was for the 1982 old-school Korean kung-fu flick ‘Incredible Shaolin Thunderkick’, then realised the plot involves a guy who gets his crown jewels pulverized and tries to live as a woman. So yeah, I got nothing.

My favorite of the trilogy is always on rotation. Chan-wook had the way he subtly incorporates pitch black humor into his movies really down pat with ‘Sympathy for Lady Vengeance’, giving it a slightly different tone than ‘Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance’ and ‘Oldboy’. It was one of those movies that I wasn’t completely endeared with upon the first viewing, but it’s grown on me considerably over the years.

How come Paul’s reviews always involve Korean female leads and/or their children.

I was in disbelief when I read what you said about Lee Young-Ae being out of the spotlight since SFLV. But you’re totally right… I can’t believe she hasn’t done a single thing since 2005! Another shocker is that SFLV is your favorite out of the Vengeance trilogy. lol Mine will ALWAYS be SVMV. It’s the first Korean film – after sitting through shit like Siri or Swiri and Attack the Gas Station – where I said to myself “These guys have balls”.
