  As much the film tries to show the extreme anxiety of aging, it left me feeling hating aging for myself even more rather than feeling opposed. 

  Film was super entertaining and Demi was amazing, however if it was supposed to deliver a message, it should have felt more disturbingly tragic rather than funny. Hearing all the hype actually made me thought the gore would be very bad and uncomfortable but the ending was just ridiculous as it broke all logic and was just unnecessary.

  "The moment you said you loved me, your love is over. The moment your love ends, my love begins."
  I never thought this ‘Detective’ story would tug my heart so deeply. We were thrown deep into the ocean with this one.

  -Tang Wei ‘s performance as another complex femme fatale is astonishing. 
  - The Korean song ‘Fog/Mist’ the film is inspired by is also perfect. 
  - and locations and cinematography based on this quote??! 
  “Confucius said
  ‘The wise take pleasure in rivers and lakes, the virtuous in mountains’ ,
  I am not a virtuous person”
