The film was released cinematically on 28 June, 2017,
and later digitally in mid-July in South Korea.
Taiwan became the first region outside of South Korea
to have a cinematic release of the film, on 4 August 2017. It was released

Real received
mostly negative reviews during its initial release. MaxMovie's review
stated that despite Kim Soo-hyun giving justice to his dual roles, the film's
plot is non-existent, the editing and special effects are amateurish, in
addition to its action scenes being boring. One critic felt the story was
confusing and named the film "one of the most distastrous films ever made
One critic proclaims Real to
be a "future camp cult classic" that "is the 'real' deal". Sitges Film Festival, one of the world's
foremost international festivals specialising in fantasy and horror films, has
included Real in its 2017 catalogue. The experimental adventure that
is Real is in Kim Soo Hyun's words, not an endearing film that is
easy for moviegoers to fall in love with. Yet, in the end, love it or hate it,
there is no denying that Real is "one of the most singular
Korean films to emerge in years".
When Real was
released for Digital Cable TV VOD and IPTV subscription in
South Korea, it topped the charts at its initial release. In contrast to its
box office response, the movie faired reasonably well on the VOD chart. While
it is released via VOD platform only in mid July, the movie ranked quite high
on the overall chart of July 2017.
Real received positive
reviews upon its opening in Taiwan in early August. Critics praised Kim Soo
Hyun鈥檚 acting, proclaiming that both main characters, despite looking
identical, were easily distinguished through his use of body language,
mannerisms, and voice acting.
Expat Korean Movie
Critic/Blogger Pierce Conran has included Real in his list of top 15
Korean Movies of 2017 for its uniqueness and originality.
