Review of PSYCHIC:
Do not judge the film by the handsome faces of Kang Dong Won and Ko Soo

The meeting between handsome leading actor Kang Dong Won and good looking actor Ko Soo (also known as Ko-vid) in PSYCHIC has been hot topic.


If you think the two actors are chosen merely for visual effects, then you have made a mistake. I was focusing on the acting abilities of the two actors rather than their handsome faces when I watched the movie. They are excellent. Moreover, it is not possible to take one's eyes off the screen, even momentarily. As this film is a low budget movie, it is different from a foreign sci-fi film. One could feel the tension in a static scene which is not unlike a thriller. Though it was a bit draggy towards the end, but the excellent performance of the two lead actors as diametrically opposed characters and the comic acting of the foreign actors made up for it.


There’s one thing I’d like to say. Go to the restroom before you go see the movie. This is because you will not understand the ending of the confrontation between Kang Dong Won and Ko Soo if you were to take your eyes off the screen, even for a moment.


The final reversal and the excellent acting abilities of the 2 handsome actors will astonish audiences.
