Good backstory but lackluster horror

The overall narrative is pretty good in providing a nice flow of storyline and adequate structure for its backstory, though the visual impact on its horror elements might be a little lackluster and falls short in terms of attention to details. Despite that the logical reasoning at the end is relevant enough to justify the grudge held in the train station, and it even comes with a spy-like mission ending for the final resolution, which is a pleasant surprise and a fresh take for Korean horror films.

This review may contain spoilers

May contain some spoiler. Beware.

Basically the story is about a curse at the train station. A junior reporter and her best friend who worked at the train station decided to investigate the story. During the investigation, the best friend got the curse. Now, it's a race against time or the best friend will die. Had some similiraty with The Ring right? Once they break the case, the best friend found a way to break the curse. Here is where I'm so angry.

The best friend transferred the curse to the junior reporter. Yes, his best friend.

That one bit of plot, override the entire story because I'm waiting for the reporter to go bat-shit crazy and take some revenge on him. And it did not happend. Instead, she transfer the curse to someone else who deserve it. The end.

interesting plot with the children and the well that falls flat towards the end to lead to a total snoozefest when all is said and done. the twist and symbolism at the end was fun, but this was the longest 80 minutes of my life. writing this a year later and even with my hyper specific memory about the things i've seen i genuinely don't remember a single scene which means this was seriously boring as hell.
