Slasher to watch with your brains off
Just what the synopsis says. Nothing more complicated about the plot. A story of vengeance.
Kibeom is a suspected serial killer under investigation for multiple killings, including the murder of an investigating officer who ends up dead in front of his young daughter. He is hastily prosecuted when arrested for the murder of his girlfriend - but with nothing solid to incriminate him for his other alleged crimes, he is only punished for this one murder.
Cut to 15years later, story parallelly follows the activities of this suspected serial killer after his release, the life (double life?) of Huijoo who is almost unofficially adopted by her fathers ex-colleagues, and another shady character that comes into picture.
The gradual peep into the psyche of the main characters is an interesting watch. While we get only a superficial look at what the killer thinks like (enough to diagnose), we also see the confusing thought process of the main character. For me, this character had more to them, than I initially judged. In contrast to my initial judgement, even when the end products are superficially similar, the motivations were different, making their psychological building blocks different.
What to watch for: Slasher with some twisted character, nothing much to think about. A slightly confusing, serene way one of the ending scenes was shot.
