I had no idea what to expect when I started watching this movie. I was in a horror mood and I think asian countries produce some of the best horror movies and I found this and decided to give it a go.

I'm gonna start of by saying I really liked this movie mainly because I'm a big fan of any movie that has psychological elements and that can keep you guessing and this movie has both.
It's not a mindfuck movie but as soon as you think you know what's _really_ going on it takes a turn and then you think "_now_ I know what's actually true!" Nope, wrong again, there's another turn coming.
It's engaging and the acting is great.
It has a few jump scares but the movie doesn't rely on them and they are used quite sparingly. The suspenseful music in some scenes go on for a little too long and become a tad bit annoying but that's not really too big of a deal. The only significant complaint I've got is that the ending was a little too abrupt and I feel like more could have been done with it.
I happened to watch this on a rainy day which is really fitting considering how much it rains in this movie which really adds a great atmosphere(I was going to say that it has a relaxing atmosphere but the story itself is far from relaxing, maybe I just consider it relaxing 'cause I'm a whore for rain).
Highly recommend it.

Thoughts while watching the movie:
- (Didn't take a look at the actors beforehand) First visible moment of the movie: "KANG HA-NEUL!" Omg, I love this actor so much.
- I almost never even flinch at jumpscares, only really rarely (thanks to Pewdiepie for making me almost immune xD), but that woman got me at the kinda beginning.
- Okay, this hyung either has a multiple personality disorder or he's living a double life, OR perhaps it really _is_ all in dearest Kang Ha-neul's (Jin-seok's) head. That jumpscare woman definitely is, but idk about the hyung. Not wearing/needing his glasses, the limp disappearing, smoking, swearing...
- Either I didn't pay close attention (though I rewinded that part) or the hyung listed the taxi too at their fight even though Jin-seok didn't mention that to him. Hmm... [HA, I KNEW IT!]
- Okay, well, something is still wrong with Jin-seok too because he keeps seeing these weird dreams and hearing noises from that locked room. And I don't think that these have to do anything with Yu-seok (or "Yu-seok"), only if it's his torture room or something. :'D
- Ooooh, mom is in it too! Or, again, it's all in Jin-seok's head.
- Lol, "Mr. Park"? "Mr. Choi"? Are they doing some sick experiment on Jin-seok? Come to think of it, that mover guy even asked Jin-seok if Yu-seok is really his brother (Jin-seok laughing it off with an "I know we don't look alike" comment). HMM... At this point I'm not even sure if the medicine they give Jin-seok is _really_ an anti-anxiety medicine. [Hehe, call me detective. xD] He first followed his hyung when he forgot to take it, so... :thinking:
- I love that last time when Jin-seok stepped out after 12:30 AM, there were quite a few people, but when it's a chase where he would be in need of someone outsider, there's literally no one on the streets. :'D
- OH, SNAP. So I still bet either on the sick experiment or the brainf*ck. His "family" propped the house full of older stuff, they used flip phones, he even had a Discman... but how could he not notice all the modern sh*t when he stepped outside? Only when he went in the police station? And he never looked in a mirror before to not notice his age? Eh, maybe it _is_ his mind playing games with him, not actual people.
- Wow. The plot is becoming too wow.
- Uhm... yeah. No wonder why did he erase that period from his memories.
- I don't get why did Jin-seok lie and protect that scum doctor, but I'm glad that the hyung (well, now dongsaeng, I guess) didn't believe it.

Sooo... I came to watch a thriller and be spooked, but that only worked for about 1 hour of the movie, the other (almost) half just made me sad. The ending was disappointing for me; I was hoping for something more of an experiment or hallucinations (like I tried to guess above), but at least it answered the first half of the movie.
So let's see what we got instead. A car accident, a broke and desperate survivor, a likewise broke and desperate father, an unfortunate accident, an unfortunate following semi-accident, a quarrel leading to a fatal accident... then, 20 years later, a sick interrogation method, and finally a double suicide.

And all I wanted was some spooks.

Genre : Drama & Thriller

Little details in a thriller can actually make or break a pleasant movie experience. Exactly my experience with this one. Great story and mystery. Just a bit more of drama. Still a good watch.
