Looking at how industry people are reacting to <The Great Flood>, only one thing comes to mind

"Korean cinema really is in a crisis, for real."

We've had plenty of huge letdowns like <Real>, <Illang>, <Um Bok Dong>, <Psychokinesis>, and <Woong-nami> that got absolutely nuked by the public...

But this is the first time I've seen industry insiders and cinephiles being this vocal, telling people to lay off the 'raw' criticism.

I would've understood that kind of reaction during the early days of <I Can't Help It> instead.
