The first half is enjoyable, it is well-grounded Korean melodrama than works in and of itself and doesn't exist solely as a set-up for the impressive but often silly and very cloying climax. I have some more ideas on it in my own review: http://modernkoreancinema.blogspot.com/2010/08/tidal-wave-haeundae-2009.html Would love to hear your thoughts!

In fact, I thought the containers scene was very funny but a little out of tone with the second half of the film. It definitely seems to be a film which divides its viewers!

I came to it with an open mind, and found it to be a huge disappointment. Maybe it was the international edit, but it all seemed a bit disjointed. I loved it when it started raining containers from that big container ship though! I watched Haeundae on R2 DVD the other day.
