Jang spoke his lin---es in English throughout the entire film, and Beyond Hollywood praised him as having "performed very well" in the role,[5] while a review posted on London Korean Links said: "The casting is cleverly done with Jang as the 'innocent' accused, his popularity allowing the audience to feel some empathy and warmth to an otherwise unattractive character.
