A beautiful mix of Horror and Folklore

Well I am not much of a writer n just stating my opinion of this movie. If you are a J horror addict just like me, no doubt you wil throughly enjoy this.
The story is heavily based on the urban legend or Folklore of kotoribako. If ur unaware about it u wil find abit of a difficulty understanding certain situations happening in the film. Though its ur typical curse movie, it's more than just a curse movie at the same time. Familial love n sacrifice for ur beloved also plays a role in it. Contains no Jumpscares at all but rather has more of a psychological/supernatural element to it.
Acting was good, all actors did their part very well.
Music was eerie perfect for the situation n circumstances going on in the movie.
As for re-watch value it depends on the person,horror movies are not everyone's cup of tea so if ur a horror addict who is interested in less of jumpscare n more of plot based movies then yes but if u like jump fest then no you won't enjoy this.
The cinematography n the visual effects was pretty good,certain Supernatural elements felt very realistic. Overall a very good movie.

"BROKEN" It's title explain all emotions.

It's story simple not complicated but beautifully done. All the actors did there part pretty well but the main lead (Father of girl) he did his part on different level. He conveyed his emotions to the audience very well.

The story start from the last scene of movie then forward There is a father and his daughter. He works in textile industry and his daughter studies.
One day her father stays out for night but on that night his daughter was kidnapped , rapped and murdered. After this investigation starts her father was in trauma. He come to police station daily and sit there whole day. One day he was sitting outside police station and he got a message from unknown no. that there's evidence of his daughter's murder and rape.
In this way, his journey of revenge starts and he killed the murderers of his daughter but one remained.
We know that we should get legal help and it's right way.
What i get from this movie is that:
"No one can understand a person who is
going through that pain"

"When someone loss everything what
he/she is willing to do"

What A Let Down

This movie was a total let down! I know Korean movies aren't that strong and this is why....

The main male actor was stuck in some kind of camp. His father turned on his country and in order to make things right he decided to become an assassin? ? This is what I got from the first 10 minutes of the movie. I should've stopped there but I gave it the benefit of the doubt.

This movie had so many plot holes! I don't understand how they were able to complete this.

As I mentioned the main male lead was trained to be an assassin. There's no mention of his training none whatsoever. They just show him in a camp then he has an adoptive family who knows he's an assassin because I'm guessing they were assassins too or just crooked step parents...I couldn't figure it out because they get killed and there's no mention why.

The main lead finds out he has a sister...this came from out of nowhere as well. He tries to rescue her but is wanted by the police because they want to send him back because his father was a spy... Everyone around him dies....it's just a whole mess.

I tried to explain this the best way that I could but this is how the movie was-a big jumbled mess. There was nothing promising about this movie! Absolutely nothing. I believe this is about the 4th Korean movie I've ever seen and it makes me want to steer clear of Korean movies for some odd reason. And for the life of me I don't understand how some reviewers gave this high marks because it didn't deserve any!

HOW in the seven hells did I end up here?

!!DISCLAIMER/WARNING¡¡
This review is based on my personal opinion/experience while watching, you're free to agree/disagree with it.
If you are under the age of 17 or suffer from PTSD/Anxiety disorder, please refrain from watching it as it is very explicit and contains r@pe, some BDSM related scenes, heavy implications of Stockholm syndrome, mentions of death and attempted su¡cide. With that being said, my review is NOT meant to encourage/discourage you from watching in any way, shape or form, this is just my opinion/advice so you're definitely not obligated to agree with it or to take it to face value.


Holy hell, this was the longest disclaimer that I've ever written in my entire life, however, it is definitely not unnecessary or uncalled for. This movie is definitely NOT for the faint of heart and I honestly highly advice against watching it, mostly because of how hardcore and unsettling it is and how very uncomfortable I felt throughout the whole thing so, yeah I very obviously didn't like it, I'm gonna try to keep this brief because honestly, I don't even have the capacity to write a full on review like I usually do so yeah, this review is more of a rant rather than a review, and with that outta the way, let's proceed with this "rant".

>The plot was all over the place and the beginning of the movie were very iffy. I had to pause it not even 20 minutes in from how uncomfortable it made me feel.
>The acting wasn't great and it fell flat in some scenes. None of the actors stood out to me and the script just felt hollow. Ik some people liked this movie and ik that it has its audience, but god the script just felt very meh, like they tried to throw in too many different things at the same time it just ended up in a mess.
>the music was almost none existent and the bit of music thrown here and there felt very odd especially when it's paired with such visuals.
>the production was surprisingly good, the overall vibe and the lighting definitely stole the show here lol, I will say tho, the transitioning between scenes confused me a little but yeah, I really hope it was just me here.


And yeah, these are my two cents on this movie. I apologize for not being able to give more insight on this but I seriously don't have the energy to do so, you can read other people's opinions on this if you want more info on this matter. I hope you won't be traumatized after watching it too. Thank you to anyone who was able to stick around to read this unhelpful "review" and decided against throwing rocks to my head lol, really appreciate it.

super fun!

I love Saiki k and having read the manga and watched the anime this was a surprisingly good live action. I really enjoyed watching and it got the whole Saiki k vibes spot on. Kento Yamazaki was such a good actor!! He got saikis expressions and mannerisms spot on and I loved the story line too. Of course it wasn't the exact same as the anime it still was enjoyable.
It has the same levels of crazy from the anime and its so over the top and unrealistic so if you are not used to that you might not like it. Its super lighthearted and a great laugh. Would 100% watch again.

He gets knocked down, but he gets up again you ain't never gonna keep him down!

Antihero meets superhero meets childhood sweetheart... this movie gives longing a new face as well as makes a pretty good job redefining the term hero. In this drama we get to see a beautiful combination of friendship as well as surviving tough circumstances and fighting for ones dream.

I love how the hero in this movies biggest achievement is the ability to to take a punch or 1000 and still stand up. As well as how well everything in the movie is sown together in the end. So keep your ayes open while watching, details matter more than you may think. The (anti) hero of this movie is just the sweetest guy ever that will surely make you sympathise with him and want to protect him from harm.

All in all sweet, painful and a tad emotional. definitely worth a watch but not a masterpiece.

Must watch

It's obvious the people who watch this documentary are mostly blinks, but it really opens up to a wide audience. The documentary isn't about them flexing their achievements but it's more on the emotional side, and not boring at all.

If you're a hard-core blink you'd probably know most of these stuff but there are many things you haven't seen, such as their trainee life or Jisoo talking about burning the dorm.
For casual blinks/listeners, this documentary really lets you know more about BLACKPINK and dives a lot into their personality, you'll see their journey as kids all the way until now.
And people who've heard about Kpop and BLACKPINK, I would really recommend watching this because it'll be an entertaining experience.

And also because BLACKPINK is just amazing queens how can you not love them.

He wine dined and sixty nined a ghost

This movie gave me the same feelings that being in a car wreck while a tornado is speeding towards me and I have the locks on and I can't find the keys to the car but I don't need the keys anyways to unlock it but I am looking for them to get out of the car as the tornado is speeding towards me in Kansas. The sex scene was very graphic and I got scared and cried I had to pause it 5 times it was the scariest part of the movie and it jump scared me multiple times. Also his wet dream was also very scary and I dropped my popcorn so I want a refund on that. The actors are pretty good especially during the sex scene because they were very scary and believable. The red demon guy was kinda hot I wish he was in it more and maybe have him in a sex scene??? idk just something to think about in the future. I hope the main character went to heaven in the end because if he went to hell that is a hate crime. Also are all ghosts just down to fuck??? I've never met a ghost so idk the accuracy. Also do ghosts drink wine? Does that mean they also drink cum? Does it just go through them? Like a cum waterslide? If so that would be messy and he should not have sex with ghosts :( But also ghosts are sexy so I get it. The music also made me feel very scared and I almost cried because it reminded me of the one time I fell asleep near an alarm clock and instead of it waking me up with sounds it made music and I was having a nightmare and thats the exact vibe the music had :) Big fan of the blood man screaming at his fish. Also was the ghost coming out? I support him if so. Cute fish though.

So I thought this was gonna have a bit of drama at the beginning & turn into a kind of rom-com... unfortunately, it was the other way round.
It has quite a generic rom-com style storyline to begin with - woman has accident, gets amnesia, can't remember the last 5 years; she remembers being on her honeymoon but now she is divorced & doesn't know who she really is. So, of course, she goes to her now ex-husband to try to regain her memories... let's all guess what happens next... exactly, their romance is rekindled = total rom-com right?! No, not right. This takes a very dark yet realistic turn & the final act is utterly heartbreaking. I thought the ending was quite beautifully done despite the serious & upsetting subject matter... I just wish it had been a rom-com; it is a good film but the ending is just too depressing for me.

Touch A Sensitive Ongoing Topic

I did not really thought this would be good. I saw found out the adverisment for it was wrong. I gave it a try. I was curious about Satoshi. He had that mysertious vibe for me. I had feeling that he would be the host of the game. I did felt bad for the characters. All them had to deal with so much. It was a slow pace movie for me. I did like that it touch a sensitive topic like this. I have been noticing that not too many dramas show how real day life is really. I would not watch it. I just thought it could have been done better. I did still enjoy it. I did like how interesting all the characters look in this movie.If things were done better like make it more interesting to solve the mystery. It wasn't really a mystery about the boy. The movie is right about towards the end that their is so much to live for.

Average movie with some plot holes

I watched this movie mainly because of Kento Yamazaki and I have to say this wasn't his strongest role.
The movie in general has really nice costumes, locations and scenes, but the overall story is a little bit strange (at least).
There were too many scenes that were lacking some logic for me (almost all of them at the end, in the palace) which killed my high expectations. Some characters were also really strange and I didn't understand their purpose (for example the character of General Ouki).
This is not a trash, no, it's a nice movie when you just want to relax, but don't expect anything special or you will be dissapointed.

An okay movie, not a priority watch at all

I love Chae Soobin, I watched the movie only for her. I might be biased but she carried the movie on her back by successfully keeping the audience's sympathy with her character until the very end.

40% of the movie were montages of the guy cheating that contributed nothing to the plot.

Overall, watch it if you're bored as hell and have absolutely nothing else to do. The movie doesn't make you laugh, doesn't make you cry, doesn't have any thrill element, only fills you with dread at the characters' bad decisions and their audacity to behave the way they do, worst of all, it all seems too realistic to brush it off.

The twist was unexpected and made the movie worth something. Would I recommend it to anyone? A solid no.

Fleshed out characters and powerful storyline in just short film

I started the film with just the sketchy synopsis, but was immediately reeled in with the storyline.
I like how the conflict was immediately shown when the two main characters were introduced. The writer and director did not waste precious minutes in fleshing out the characters and showing their motivations in the film. On first watch, it is seemingly a slice of life film and has a happy ending, but on the second watch, I grasped the feelings interspersed with the somber music (or lack of it) in the last few minutes of the end. The adopted son labeled himself a "nobody," and was desperately longing to have a family or at least a place to call home (as presented by him saying he will not leave), and with those things as his goal, he became the glue to the family. He became the son that was lost, the protector and the lover.

I think he don't love the older brother, but instead offered himself to fill what the older brother need.

oops! I rambled again.

Ultimately, I love this short film and wish to someday see this one be made into a longer film or a series.
