Whoa, I don't know what to put in the headline

This is one of those movies that makes you question reality. I had to go read the spoilers in the comments to actually fully understand what had happened. Not predictable at all.
How do we deal with pain and guilt? We all deal with it in a different way, don't we.
The cast was very well chosen and they each fulfill their roles perfectly in my opinion.
I thought it was going to be just another ghost story but in the end it had a lot more to it. There were so many questions and twists and turns, that I couldn't exactly keep up. But the story kept throwing you off. Just as you think you had it figured out it to another turn.
I really really liked it although I had to go read up on it a bit and when I had it figured out I realized how brilliant it was.

If you are looking for something unpredictable this one is for you. My brain was on fire trying to come up with the next solution.

Starts really slow, but in the end is really moving!

Not sure if it's for anyone since it really is slow and makes you question things you see. Kind of weird (and I love it).

Visually pleasing. I liked the set design, the clothing design and the overall mood. I could watch it again just for the visual aspect.

I would have liked it more without the horror elements. They where kind of cheap and I'm not sure if they even added anything. Also I kind of wished it would have concentrated more on the oddness than the horror.

OST was amazing!!!!

CRAZY UNPREDICTABLE PLOT TWIST!!!

I love love love a great thriller. Especially when it comes with a good plot twist. When my friend told me that the plot twist was shocking in this one, I knew I had to watch it immediately.

I’ve tried watching Korean movies and dramas below the year 2012 and I don’t think it’s my cup of tea. This movie was from 2003 but it was surprisingly easy for me to watch. The acting, the BGM, and man… the storyline were satisfactory. I’ve seen a lot of thrillers with plot twists which means I’m pretty great at guessing on what comes next, so if I couldn’t guess it, that means it’s great. All in all, an 8.5/10 for me! The ending could be summarized better, but the movie was great!

This was my first korean movie even before I was into koreans or kpop. I was very impressed that I watched it several times later. I noticed moon geun young (younger sister) from this movie. She's talented as well as the rest. The dad is also a good actor as av seen him in other shows. The story is a thriller and from the beginning its confusing and dark. I loved the ending I was screaming. Anyway must see

Excelente filme!
Esse filme me surpreendeu muito, mesmo já tendo visto o remake estadunidense e sabendo mais ou menos o que ia acontecer (e diga se de passagem o original pisa no remake, o original é muito mais sombrio e realmente é do gênero suspense).
O roteiro é super original e as atuações são ótimas, a gente nunca sabe quem é são e quem não é, também não sabe se aquele fato aconteceu daquela forma ou não. A aura de suspense foi muito bem construída, fazendo com que a gente leve vários sustos ao longo do filme.
Filme recomendadíssimo!
