What the audience says

Pandora has pulled the kind of numbers most Korean films never see. It holds a 7.5/10 on TMDB from 524 ratings, well above what most films manage. It runs a manageable 136 minutes. In South Korea you can stream it on Netflix.

Should you spend 2h 16m on it?

2h 16m of Korean thriller, leaning drama, not one for younger kids. A little over the usual, so start it earlier than you think.
