The film has a good premise, but the runtime is too long and the pacing is somewhat slow, by the time the movie reach one hour or so, you are already bored to death. the plot is not that complicated, it could be told in an hour and half at best.
There was a forced twist halfway through the movie, that made the whole thing personal to the protagonist. The chances that the protagonist's father and the bad guy having an accident in the middle some road, are gigantically low but it sorta just happened here. The movie gets overly dramatic sometimes, and the protagonist is somewhat unlikable, at times I find myself rooting for the bad guy. I don't understand why some characters have to behave irrational to prove a point or to show their disappointment eg hitting someone with a book, slapping a person, pushing them etc this is common in Korean movies I don't know why they have to act like, so irrational.
The characters are well-developed, and the actors did justice to their respective characters. the cinematography was excellent, the cool cars and awesome car chase scenes were a treat to the eyes. There was a hint for a sequel, which I highly doubt it's going to happen.

One day mad driver killed his father by car accident, then Seo is seeking his revenge, but some situations do not let him to do. What is the end and you can see the movie. Good story and good action. Car chasing scenes are fantastic and highlight of the movie. Characters are having uncertain behaviour and wonder you often. Acting by bad boy is brilliant and rest are just okay. End is open for might sequel, but it is Korean movie and Korean gets sequels are rare.
A decent action thriller
It's an entertaining movie with interesting characters and some great action scenes. Sometimes it's a bit over the top though and the "tough female cop" feminism thing is tedious and off-putting, as usual. I was never bored so you can definitely give it a watch, however, like some other reviewers said, it's nothing special.
