Amazing Film
I was pleasantly surprised by this film. The acting, the plot, the progression throughout the film were absolutely amazing. The ending really shocked me and it came to a clean and pretty decent close. The twists you never saw coming and when you thought you knew what was going on, it changed. I loved it. I thought it was a sci fi movie at first but it came together so nicely and to think back on it, you are able to put the pieces together. It was refreshing seeing this amazing movie. Writing, acting and I am sure directing was spot on!Was this review helpful to you?

A Masteful Psychological Thriller In the Hitchcock Tradition!
This is a fantastic psychological thriller reminiscent of some of the best films of Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense. In fact, I’m sure he would have been delighted by a plot that has so many twists and unexpected layers that I seriously doubt that most viewers will be able to figure everything out until the final reveal. When a writer can keep the viewers on their toes, you know you’ve done your job well. This film is simply a work of art.The film opens in a seemingly generic plot of a family of four moving into a new house. Jin Seok has a strange sensation of having been there before, but he quickly dismisses it as a mere afterthought. However, he’s puzzled by a single room on the second floor that he’s told is forbidden to enter under any circumstances. From here, strange workings begin to occur. Noises in the middle of the night. Sounds that seem to come from the forbidden room above make Jin Seok wonder what is really going on. Things culminate one evening when he and his brother, Yoo Seok step out for the night when Yoo Seok sees that Jin Seok is unsettled. As Yoo Seok walks back to the house, Jin Seok witnesses several men abducting his brother by tossing him into a van and driving off. Yoo Seok returns 19 days later, but Jin Seok immediately notices that something isn’t right.
The film truly takes off from here because nothing is what it seems to be, and the viewer begins to struggle with Jin Seok and the reality of his situation. Is he hallucinating or dreaming about what’s been going on? Who is involved and why? Trust me. This movie has as many layers as an onion. Just when they’ve pulled back one layer, and you think you’ve got it figured out, a whole new layer is presented, and you’re left with yet another plot twist to unravel.
The writing, directing, and acting performances are all top-notch. Frankly, this may be the best thriller I’ve seen since “The Game,” which is another thriller that literally has the viewer guessing right up until the very end. That is a hallmark of masterful storytelling at its finest!

I’m confuzzled ?
this movie ruined me physically and mentally bro. I shed so many tears in this one movie and the fact they both died in the end. It’s like I didnt want them to die. I wanted them to stay alive even though he was wrong for killing his parents and his family. He did it because he asked to and I gave it 9 stars, but I wish the ending was different. this movie did so many mind tricks so me my face was like “😲🤔” the whole movie cause so many plot twists. but I low-key love this movie but I wouldn’t watch again.Was this review helpful to you?

1) tht the fake family acc made him refresh or make him forget the night he killed his brothers family the fake brothers but it wasn acc him who killed him but the fake brother himself and make it look like he was the culprit and get him killed or smthng like tht and in the ending the ml recalls tht night but i was too late and dies
2) Tht his brother was abducted and a guy came acting like his brother and thn whn the ml caught him tht he was not acc his brother so he abducts the ml and thn he tortures him in tht no entering oom and thn he makes him forget all those things he witnessed and the only thing he remebers is tht he was tortued but wont remeber where who and why and thn tht guy pretending to be his brother acts as is he found the ml and lives with the family as the brother

Great Movie
This movie kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and kept me intrigued till the very end. I thought I understood what was happening but the writer added such a good plot twist that made everything that much better. I'm not a big romance fan and am always searching for crime/thriller whether it be a k-drama or k-movie and this definitely lived up to my expectations. I would definitely recommend to people who love thriller/suspense.Was this review helpful to you?

The theme is important
This film has many layers but underneath it all there's one main central theme that people keep overlooking because all they talk about is the "twists" and change of events. The main theme is that this is a TRAGEDY.Once you see the last scene where you see laughs, smiles, an innocence that abounds in the lake countryside, this was a huge tragedy and once you see know how it ends you can't help but feel bad for them. I know everyone wants to talk about the turn in direction, or how they predicted or did not predict the outcome, above it all is how it ends.

it was just perfect
literally just what the headline says lolTiny spoilers? Js adding to make sure
This is a movie you should watch without knowing anything beforehand
9.5 because I was really sad at the end but perfect regardless, I feel like if the ending went any other way it wouldn’t have been as good. Because we know the how important it was to both characters . Still made me feel empty inside like omg..🥲
it was confusing and it had me on edge the whole time, but it was super exciting and the story was really good. I wish I could rewatch it again for the first time.

WHAT DID I JUST WATCH
The story starts out calm when suddenly the atmosphere changes. Just when you through you had figured out the plot, a new twist was added. I loved the many turns the story took, which never created a dull moment. Especially the end took me by surprise. I had to sit in silence as the credits rolled to process what I’d just watched.One of the things I liked the most was the acting between the characters. The development of them and their interactions were very interesting to watch. Normally I would never rewatch a movie but for this I think I’ll definitely have to, to get a different perspective.
10/10 recommend!

WHOA!
This is my first Korean movie in months! I’ve been in a K-drama/K-movie slump for such a long time and I didn’t know what to watch to end it. Until yesterday, a friend told me about this brilliant movie she just watched, “Forgotten”. When she told me that “the plot twist was amazing”, there’s no way I wouldn’t watch the movie! Plot twists are always my favorite!This movie was super unpredictable. I thought I could’ve guessed the plot twist, but dang… I was so wrong! The acting was spot on! Kang Ha Neul and Kim Moo Yeol deserved awards for this movie! Just. Brilliant. The music was suspenseful and everything was just perfect!
I would recommend this to anyone who’s searching for a suspensful mystery/thriller with DOPE PLOT TWISTS! Overall, 9 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing plot twist!
Wow. Really good movie, this is truly what I expect when it is said that there’s a plot twist in a movie.Actually, I was expecting just a simple thriller film about kidnapping and it completely blew my mind and broke my heart.
It was great, at first intriguing but then the plot twits into a tragic and devastating story, I was heart-touched; I wanted to cry about 4 times.
I even felt terrible for the main character and what he had been through during all the movie.
Also the acting was excellent, I totally recommend this movie!
