i hate vampire movie . with that say and this one be very interesting to me . i do want to point out one thing tho . bakjwi literally mean bat in korean and we all know that in many classic vampire story and you see count dracula or vampire turn into a bat and fly away or wuheva . we also know that bat be mammal that can fly thus many categorizes them to be exceptional . a i watch the film and i realize that the theme of bat be deeply embed in this movie more than just to make the bat vampire connection . duality of human nature equal if you ever read aesop fable and there be this one fable where mammal and bird be fight and a bat just can not seem to take a side and it try to play both side to his advantage . mammal and bird find out what this bat have be do and banish the bat out of their land at the end of the story . the two contradict side of human nature be constantly at battle throughout the film ex . sang hyun blind priest friend and sang hyun effort to quench thirst and his sexual desire and tae ju play both side and her ordinary boring life vs. her thrill seek vampire adventure and etc ( would not ruin too much and u have to watch the film ) and this theme be beautifully present on a plate with delicious side of romance and sex and violence and religion and dark comedy and tragedy and vengeance and you name it . i feel like many would find this movie boring and too long and but this film be very fresh and new and something that i haven not see b4 yet . i wouldn not say this be cw park best work and but it be mos . def . the strange to comprehend yet darkly intriguing .
