| I was just wondering if anyone has seen the Korean movie of this. If you have, should I wait to see it until I complete all of the manga or does it not matter? |
| I have seen it, and it's really quite different to it, finding the building he was captured in is the same, but pretty much everything else is different. Personally I'd go manga then film, only because I loved the film and the manga felt disappointing after watching it, but it doesn't really matter either way. |
| Yes, I have. Several times. I love it. And I've only read the first volume of the manga....after I saw the film. So it doesn't really make much difference. |
 |
| Ok, thanks! From what I've heard the movie is much better than the manga. And since I'm already through the first volume I might as well finish the manga first. |
| Korean Movie >> Manga >> American Movie You should definitely not watch the movie first, if you intend on reading the manga. i read the manga first, thought it was pretty good, but then i watched the movie, it's amazing. |
 |
| Oh shit. So that movie was based off this manga? I saw that movie a long time back. It was a great movie, but man, that was one of the most fucked up ending I had seen... |

It was a great movie, but man, that was one of the most fucked up ending I had seen... 2003 or 2013 Oldboy? The original ending was more effective and I felt the American version just made things edgy for the sake of it. But yeah it was pretty fucked. The 2003 Korean movie. Haven't watched the American one. |

| I just finished the 2003 movie and damn the story was very good. it has some good direction like the hammer scene but sometimes you know the typical early 2000's transitions and camera shots is cringy and bad. the acting was really great, overall a great adaptation. I don't know if I'm going to watch the remake or read the manga cuz this sh!t slaps me in the face and drained my energy. I honestly just wanted the story that's all. just gonna leave this comment here so I would know when I finished the movie |
