Desertman84 Diary Of June tells the story of Detectives Chu Ja Young and Kim Dong Wook, who must solve a puzzling murder case involving a string of deaths at a local high school. Their investigation eventually leads them directly to a middle school student who has long suffered abuse at the hands of school bullies. In fact, each murder occurs just as it is described in the student's diary. On that evidence alone, one might think the detectives have an open and shut case. However, there's one problem. The student is already dead!The movie was above average. Not great but no ordinary as well. Typical Korean psychological thriller.

kosmasp If you are not that familiar with Korean movies/cinema, you might be in for quite a surprise. But for me, it didn't really work. The English title does play a role in the movie, which is apparent almost from the get-go. But of course, that's not all there is to this movie and quite a few things happen.A pretty decent movie, that I can only recommend, if you have an affection for that sort of movies. Still there are better (Korean) movies out there to watch. So it's up to you, if you want to take the time and watch this over other movies. Just read another comment on here and then decide, before you waste your time.

Florian Peter Hilgers Saw this movie at the „Fantasy Film Festival" at Hamburg, Germany, yesterday and I just want to suggest to everybody: if you get the chance to see the movie, just take it!This movie is not perfect or outstanding, but it is quite an experience to see it, because there are so many differences between this movie and a police thriller made in Germany or the U.S. I mean, most movies dealing with serial killers do it this way: there are one and two good cops dealing with a lot of simple characters, hunting the bad guy and going through a lot of scenes with high gore, while everybody in the audience is asking their self: „Who dunnit?"This movie is the other way round! At least the last 45 minutes everybody knows who and why committed all the murder, the murders them self are shown very shortly without any real gore and if you expect an unexpected twist at the end – there won't by any! But the thing is: you just do not care! Because in this movie there are so many touching and well drawn characters, plot lines and funny and dramatic scenes, you just do not want this movie to end...So if you want to see a Korean version of „Silence of the Lambs" or „Red Dragon" - skip this one. If you want to make some gain in movie experience, this one is definitely the one to watch!

DrVenkman-2 "Middle school student Inwoo is stabbed to death on the street. When his classmate Kangtae commits suicide, a capsule containing part of a diary is found in his stomach saying "June 13th, I killed Inwoo on the street". In Inwoos body another note is found: "June 15th, I killed Kangtae, disguising it as a suicide." Tough detective Chu and her partner Kim suspect that the killer belongs to the school but they soon discover that the owner of a mysterious diary has already died in a car accident long ago...An original attempt to rewrite some od the clichés of police procedurals and serial-killer pics... What makes the pic so different is its soft-pedalling of the usual cinematic mechanisms of serial-killer movies, from action sequences to grisly detail." (Variety) Great performance by Kim Yoon-Jin (Lost) and Shin Eun-Kyung!
