Good movie. Very long, but doesn't drag. As another reviewer commented, the title really does make you think by the end who the villain actually is. For me, the young girl at the beginning and her fickle boyfriend are way worse characters! Yuichi is flawed and he does some awful things, but there is growth from him by the end. (Which also initially confused me until I realised what his motivation was). Basically it's a doomed romance between him and a quiet girl who works in a menswear store.

This is a movie that grows on you. It starts okay but just gets better and better. The characters are just so well developed. Wonderful ensemble film well, don't let the length bother you: it's worth it's time. The title Villain is very well chosen since at the end you will wonder who the real villain really is.

A meeting through a dating site between a young man and a woman ends in tragedy, and this film examines the dramatic repercussions on the lives of the people surrounding the meeting. It's too long and leans towards cliché all too often, but Lee's direction makes the film look good
