Sympathy for Lady Vengeance/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Awesome Music: Yeong-wook Jo's very baroque soundtrack only adds to Geum-Ja's grace and elegance.
  • Complete Monster: Mr. Baek. He seems to have been custom designed from top to bottom to be so evil and repulsive that his slow, horrible death doesn't send Geum-Ja and the children's families past the Moral Event Horizon at the end. Of course, the whole point is that the audience forms their own opinion on whether his torture was deserved, or if it just made the victims into monsters themselves..
  • Memetic Mutation: "Ni na jaraseyo." Which means, "Go mind your own business", became an extremely popular phrase in Korea.
  • Tear Jerker: Watching Baek's snuff movies where he kills the children.
