Trivia:
"Haeundae" has the highest budget of any Korean film to date (approx US$11 million), and is Korea's first foray into the disaster genre represented by such 1970s star-heavy titles as Airport (1970), The Towering Inferno (1974), and The Poseidon Adventure (1972). more

It was alright I guess.., 20 October 2009

I watched this film with such excitement. but I'm quite disappointed of what I saw after expecting so much from the trailer.

First I'm Korean myself and was surprised to see such high CGI effect movie from a Korean director.

Although D-war had quite great CGI , haeundae was the first disaster movie from Korea.

The first part is just drama style comedy plot, which is not that great. It get's boring, and I tend to forget that I was watching a disaster movie. About hour later the movie past, first real disaster occurs. When the tsunami hit Haeundae, it was quite something, the effects were well done, and outlined the problems that would occur well. But I'm disaspointted to see only one disaster occurring. After all this wait in the movie, there's only about 10 minutes of the tsunami. Rest is just back to normal drama plot.
