(Je-gyun Yun's) epic, silly tidal-wave melodrama follows the template of the Western disaster opus to the letter.

Roland Emmerich had to be behind Tidal Wave, right?

... if this South Korean blockbuster... has anything to teach us, it's that the only thing cheesier than American disaster flicks is foreign disaster flicks.

I love how critics on the box calls it, "Spectacular... A non-stop barrage of special effects... Some of the best seen outside Hollywood" and another said, "A disaster film that is grand in scale". My question is to them is they only watch the last 20 minutes of the TWO HOUR running time? Because that non-stop barrage doesn't start until almost the end of the movie's runtime. The rest is unlikable assholes in all of Korea. Most disaster movies has foreshadowing of the upcoming event. In the case of a tidal wave, maybe some foreshocks or the ocean reseeding. But nope, other than one announcement of a different tidal wave, no foreshadowing. Also, unless the critics only watch Asylum movies then he hasn't seen good CG. This CG is bad. Bad effects, bad characters and a boring pace. The only part that's spectacular is the level of it's failure.

Haeundae is a cheesy drama flick until suddenly a tsunami happens. The effects are ok, the acting is not so good. Why does it seem like the tsunami was so large yet they can't even climb onto a power line when the tsunami has hit. The only good scenes in this film are when each character dies. This movie is probably a parody of natural disaster movies because its too dumb to be serious.
