Just one word: MASTERPIECE
This movie has to be one of the best,if not the best, mystery/psychologiac thriller in the history of movies, ALL MOVIES not only the Kdramas. There is too much to be told about this movie. At the start, I just thought that they had done something with his brother's brain, maybe someone took control of his body? maybe someone hypnotized him in doing this? But oh God it never came to mind how the whole thing was gonna end. The plot twists were unthinkable, I would never think of such a thing, the director has to be some kind of genius. And did I mention the actors' acting? God it was PERFECT! My boy Kang Ha Neul did such an amazing job ♡. The music? The way it made the suspense scenes even more suspenc-y; and scary was just amazing.Truth to be told, I actually watched this movie bc of Kang Ha Neul (I love him sm) but I'm so glad I did. And Kim Mu Yeol, hello? His acting is perfect, I need more of him, please. ( Kang Ha Neul too, GIVE MY BOY MORE MAIN ROLES!!!)
Don't just put it in your watchlist to watch another time. Stop looking for more series/movies in this platform. Go watch it NOW! 1hr and 48mins is one and a half episode of a drama series, it won't hurt to go watch it now...
or...
maybe it will hurt in the end..?

Amazing Movie
I have watched so many movies and tv shows (I mean American and Korean) and to be honest out of all of the shows I’ve watched I would say Forgotten is the best piece of entertainment I’ve watched. For me it tops all kdramas I’ve watched. So beautiful.Why I liked it:
It was executed amazingly. It had me questioning myself. I remember at one point I thought I had missed a piece of information because I’d gotten confused but it’s just part of what makes the movie amazing. You really don’t know what will happen. I won’t lie I did predict out some of the things that were gonna happen but that’s doesn’t mean it didn’t have the shock factor. Building up all that confusion and then just revealing everything close to the end was just *chefs kiss*. Acting was amazing, cinematography was great and production was 👍🏾
Why I disliked it:
I don’t have much to say on dislike to be honest. It’s just one of those movies for me where there isn’t really anything I can dislike. At first I did question the ending.
SPOILER:
I’m not necessarily one for having main characters die or anything but to be honest in some shows that’s probably the direction that makes the most sense. I mean they basically had no family, had done terrible things and probably really depressed. Just the fact that the guy whose family died had been investigating for all those years only to k*ll himself in the end.
I normally watch Romance and some thriller but Forgotten has just made me want to delve deeper into thriller kmovies like Forgotten.
Overall:
I would definitely recommend. 10/10. Even if you don’t really watch thriller that much I would watch anyways. Because majority of my watch history is romance dramas but a thriller movie is my favourite out of everything I’ve watched including kdramas, so 🤷🏾♀️

Unrealistic review?
According to my personal taste. As you see this movie got a solid 10 from me and I know it seems I did that lightheartedly, but I did not. From beginning to the end, it doesn't fail to hold the interest of the viewer. Soon we realise that something is wrong and we learn everything in due time. It's going to jump-scare you, shock you, keep you on the edge of your seat and even move you to tears. The acting was great, the music was beautiful and I've watched three times, enjoying it every single time. This is one of my most favourite movies ever.Was this review helpful to you?
nerve wracking and mind blowing
Rating: 4.6/5 starsForgotten is a cinematic masterpiece that takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Its plot is so rich and intricate that it could easily be the foundation for a gripping drama series. The numerous plot twists are unexpected and mind-blowing, keeping you on the edge of your seat throughout the film.
The narrative is psychologically satisfying, with hints of suspicion subtly planted throughout the movie, such as the protagonist's pill-taking habit. The pacing is well executed, starting steady, and then fluctuating, mirroring the emotional turmoil of the characters. The climax, where both main characters meet their end, is a poignant reflection of their shared pain and trauma.
The film's aesthetics are noteworthy, particularly the use of lighting to distinguish between reality and memories. The colorful, vibrant lighting of the memories contrasts sharply with the dark, grim reality, enhancing the impact of the plot.
Forgotten isn't just a thrilling suspense movie; it also delves into serious themes such as crimes committed out of desperation and unsolved cold cases. It's a movie that turns its viewers into detectives, encouraging them to piece together the clues and unravel the mystery.
The acting in this film is commendable. The cast delivers high emotion scenes with intensity and brings subtlety to the quieter moments. Their performances contribute significantly to the overall impact of the film.
This movie is a must-watch for fans of dark-themed movies and psychologically twisted films. It's a thrilling, suspenseful, and horrifying journey that hooks you from start to finish. Forgotten truly deserves all the praise it receives. It's a film that leaves a lasting impression and earns a well-deserved rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from me.

TWISTY, SEMI-DARK - unfolds in a very mysterious way
Moments of eeriness, goriness and tension are brilliantly scored and backed by. Performances do stand out here by Kang Ha-Neul and especially Kim Mu-yeol, who takes the most amazing piece of the cake.Forgotten is that film that won’t be easily forgotten and even after the credits roll down, it will stay with you. It has its emotional share and mysterious thrilling part, combined well to land a good thriller on its proper runway. A good mysterious thriller with a pinch of emotional moments to fill your visual kitty.
VERDICT _ The mystery reveals that are enough to hook you around. Yes, the latter half or the third act of the film dips but still provides a fair share of curiosity and the answers to inquisitive questions built in the first half.To conclude, this is a film which succeeds in striking a near-perfect balance between both revelation and suspense.

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!
