Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

[James]

Just watched this tonight. It's a good movie, but I NEED to see it a second time (at least) to figure out what the fuck was going on.

Part of the confusion is because none of the written documents are translated, and they're all very integral to the plot. Another problem is so many Asian people look alike. I'm sorry, but it had to be said. I'm watching the movie, and only after I checked IMDB did I realize there were TWO main female characters, when I watched the whole movie thinking there was only one.

So having the knowledge I do now, it'll make the film a little less confusing. I'm still concerned that a few moments STILL won't make sense, so I'm scouring the boards on IMDB (God help me) for more explanations.

Has anyone else seen this? It's the first in a revenge trilogy. The second in the trilogy is Oldboy, and the third will be Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, to be released this year.
