I wish this type of revenge on all adults who hurt children and take their innocent lives.
A cross between the Ghostbusters and other early '90s horror movies where kids and new houses are involved. The ML isn't very good at playing a dad. Very emotionless.
A very incoherent story; nothing is ever properly explained. There are too many plot holes that remain. First, you waste two hours trying to understand, then spend more time diving into random theories that still don't explain anything.
It's also amazing how many Korean horror movies are xenophobic. It's always the other who's responsible.
The husband's girlfriend is the worst. I don't mind cheating but holding a cat captive is wrong on many levels. My blood was boiling,shouldn't have watched this movie.
I still prefer the Japanese version. They tried too hard to make this movie into a too positive flick and had too many shots of her training and showing her beautiful body but this didn't add to the story. They also tried to give it some weird humour.
I normally would agree as a staunch Feminist but in this case I think you need to revisit what happened. I don't…
Present where? Where you part of their marriage? Did you know them personally?. NO!!! It's time to đ€, you have nothing new to add to this conversation.
You literally admit youâre âjust guessingâ and then try to pass it off as an educated stance. Thatâs not feminism, thatâs bias with a loudspeaker. Listing off feminist checkboxes like pro-choice or equal pay doesnât mean you understand how gendered narratives actually play out when a woman is messy, outspoken, or refuses to be âlikable.â
Youâre not âpresentâ in their marriage, youâre present on gossip forums. Big difference. Quoting her texts without context and calling it abuse isnât evidence, itâs you projecting your own history onto someone elseâs life and pretending that makes you objective.
And no, pointing out that women get vilified for speaking up isnât the same as saying she was silenced. Itâs about recognizing the smear tactics used when a woman doesnât fit neatly into the role people expect. The fact that you keep throwing in words like âgreen teaâ and mocking mental health just proves youâd rather score points than actually think critically.
If this is your idea of feminism, itâs performative at best.

Do you even hear yourself? Youâve written an essay of recycled gossip and armchair diagnoses and think it makes you sound insightful. Spoiler: it doesnât. It makes you sound silly and clueless.
Following a list of women in entertainment doesnât make you a feminist, it just makes you a fan. Feminism is about recognizing bias and double standards, not collecting girl-crushes to name-drop when you want credibility.
You admit you donât know what really went on in their marriage, but still feel comfortable labeling Gu Hye Sun âbipolar,â âabusive,â and âirrationalâ because you read a few text snippets and internet commentary. Thatâs not evidence, thatâs gossip consumption dressed up as analysis.
You admit yourself you donât know what actually happened between Gu Hye Sun and Ahn Jae Hyun, yet you confidently throw around words like âgaslighting,â âcontrolling,â and even speculate about her mental healthâbased only on gossip and curated texts. Thatâs not critical thinking, thatâs parroting tabloid drama from Koreaboo and Allkpop, who profit off manufactured scandal and one-sided narratives. Youâre not exposing truth, youâre just regurgitating clickbait.
You demand "justified anger" but provide no metric for what would ever satisfy you, which is the entire issue. You have already decided she is hysterical and therefore anything she says is invalid. This is not analysis; it is prejudice. The fact that you see a woman describing controlling and suffocating behavior and your takeaway is to side with the alleged controller is a window into your soul, not the situation. Your "chills" are a reaction to a woman refusing to be silenced, not to any actual evidence of abuse.
Your understanding of power dynamics is laughably shallow, and your defense is a hollow checklist of celebrities that only proves your hypocrisy. Do better.
And the irony? You keep ranting about how she wonât let it go, while youâre here dragging her name through the mud five years later. You donât see how ridiculous that is? Please. If anything, the only thing youâve proven is that you donât understand feminism, relationships, or your own bias.

âSo what?? What gives you the right to keep dragging it up five years later? This isnât about feminismâitâs about how no one outside their marriage can truly know what happened. Itâs also a very common tactic to frame outspoken women as âproblematicâ or unstable just to discredit them. That says more about societyâs discomfort with women speaking up than about her.â
Text Messages" and "Painting Herself in a Bad Light":
· People in immense emotional distress, especially during a betrayal or divorce, often do not act perfectly. They may send erratic messages, overshare, or seek validation in ways that look "messy" to outsiders. Judging someone's entire character based on their lowest, most vulnerable moments is incredibly unfair.
· The fact that the texts didn't "paint her in a good light" doesn't automatically mean she was the sole wrongdoer. It might simply mean she was less calculated, more raw, and worse at managing the PR of her own pain than the other party.
· On the Armchair Diagnosis ("wouldn't be surprised if she is bi-polar"):
· This is one of the most pernicious and sexist tactics used to discredit women. Labeling a woman's justified anger, pain, or emotionality as a mental illness is a classic way to dismiss her grievances without having to address their content. Itâs a tool to invalidate her experience and frame her as irrational and unreliable. Your instinct to reject this is completely correct.
· On "The Problem with Some Feminism":
· This is a common strawman argument. Nuanced feminism doesn't mean defending every single action a woman ever takes. It means:
1. Listening to women's accounts and taking them seriously as a default, because history shows they are often dismissed.
2. Analyzing situations with an understanding of power dynamics (e.g., the different societal expectations for a husband and a wife, especially in a country like South Korea).
3. Criticizing the disproportionate scrutiny and punishment women face for behavior that is often excused in men. A man might be called "passionate" or "going through a hard time," while a woman is called "crazy," "hysterical," or "bipolar."
She is right to call everyone out!! It's over, time to move on. I'm glad she doesn't let people dictate how to treat her. She tells you.
Why would they do that to the dog? And wasn't she drowning while he was doing all that, plus all the days she was unconscious? Very hard to believe someone can survive that.
Society always tries to paint the woman as the problematic one when a marriage ends. Since she is outspoken and can speak for herself, she becomes a target of ridicule by everyone. She graduated with a Master's Degree, moved on, is well-adjusted, and seems to be doing better than her ex, but they always try to undermine her. That's the problem with patriarchy and misogyny. Women can never be happy or successful without a man.
Nothing here makes sense. I thought there was one curse? Turns out there's another one. đ€Ź
It's hard to make connection with anything (mum, dad, past, dances, abusive father etc). I wasted my time, I have agree the the 4/10 rating it has on some other site.
Jeon Yeo Been has the most unexpressive face. It doesn't matter what role she's playing. She always looks downcast and plays herself rather than the movie.
What a difference meeting a positive adult makes in a young person's life. We've all met our special teachers who showed us the way when no one else was giving attention.
Don't waste your time. What an annoying film, I don't know why everyone was acting so crazy. There's no philosophy here, just some weird mambo jumbo. That man deserved better than that selfish woman, who was acting as if she knew everything. There's no amount of love in the world worth someone losing their self-respect.
I truly wanted to watch it but the nudity wasnt for me, i felt uneasy, esp the first killer who was mastur*bating,…
I agree, I even thought to myself this is why they don't respect women in Korea because they make these type of humiliation kink movie where women are reduced only to their bodies, either crying, screaming or begging for life.
It felt like the Director or writer or whoever had a torture & humiliation kink, most of the women in the movie are just props to be abused and murdered after they've shown the audience a little skin. And their bodies used to lure the male gaze. Most of them are shown crying, screaming or begging for mercy. Only the granny is spared the humiliation because who wants to see her old body, right?. Pathetic!!!
Visually captivating, the colors, rich fabric, just so beautiful. The costumes and the set were so magical, although I doubt it was this clean in the brothels. Among the beauty lies the sadness of these women's lives. Pampered like goldfish, never free.
I think they failed to explore the supernatural element of the forest. That part about the girl's genealogy wasn't really necessary. Wouldn't you protect someone even if they were a stranger to you?
no of course, you watch shoujo manga LA and you get this kind of acting. If you watch their serious movies/dramas…
Thank you. I'm so glad to see the gospel I have been preaching finally spreading. Yes, shoujo manga LA doesn't define the whole of japanese doramas. It helps to know what you're watching.

I hate her brother, though.
This "anime acting" is a whole genre by itself.
