Eating Octopus is as customary as eating sushi and sashimi.

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2004)

Some Koreans enjoy eating living octopus though other Koreans don't. It is just as the same as eating sushi and sashimi. You may not be used to eating it or even seeing the scene. Anyway, it is not so shocking to Koreans as to Western audience. You may want to feel 'living things' or 'something fresh',
to feel what the life means by eating which is the basic human
instinct, if you are prisoned 15 years and eat just one item

fried dumping for 15 years. How about canned Ravioli for 15 years or Big Mac for 15 years? Or French Fried for 15 years?

For me, Oldboy to Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is what Koryo Blue Porcelain to Chosen White Porcelain. Each film has its own attraction but OldBoy is much more decorative than Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance which shows the beauty and power of the simplicity.
I still prefer the latter, though Oldboy is still great.
