WOW
When you think you understood, you actually didn't, this is what i simply love in this movie. Is full of mystery and i can tell i got scared and screamed LOL, it's really overwhelming!!But it got pretty sad at the end, when you think at least someone is gonna be okay in the end, they died...i got pretty sad about this but i low key like it, because i felt that it represented how the real life can be
I could feel the shame, the sadness, the falsity, the anger, the guilty, everything.

The theme is important
This film has many layers but underneath it all there's one main central theme that people keep overlooking because all they talk about is the "twists" and change of events. The main theme is that this is a TRAGEDY.Once you see the last scene where you see laughs, smiles, an innocence that abounds in the lake countryside, this was a huge tragedy and once you see know how it ends you can't help but feel bad for them. I know everyone wants to talk about the turn in direction, or how they predicted or did not predict the outcome, above it all is how it ends.

WHAT DID I JUST WATCH
The story starts out calm when suddenly the atmosphere changes. Just when you through you had figured out the plot, a new twist was added. I loved the many turns the story took, which never created a dull moment. Especially the end took me by surprise. I had to sit in silence as the credits rolled to process what I’d just watched.One of the things I liked the most was the acting between the characters. The development of them and their interactions were very interesting to watch. Normally I would never rewatch a movie but for this I think I’ll definitely have to, to get a different perspective.
10/10 recommend!

WHOA!
This is my first Korean movie in months! I’ve been in a K-drama/K-movie slump for such a long time and I didn’t know what to watch to end it. Until yesterday, a friend told me about this brilliant movie she just watched, “Forgotten”. When she told me that “the plot twist was amazing”, there’s no way I wouldn’t watch the movie! Plot twists are always my favorite!This movie was super unpredictable. I thought I could’ve guessed the plot twist, but dang… I was so wrong! The acting was spot on! Kang Ha Neul and Kim Moo Yeol deserved awards for this movie! Just. Brilliant. The music was suspenseful and everything was just perfect!
I would recommend this to anyone who’s searching for a suspensful mystery/thriller with DOPE PLOT TWISTS! Overall, 9 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie
First ... my favorite movie. I'm just saying.Second ... what a story. And the end ... man.
I was really blown away by the whole story. Especially good because I’m not some fan of really scary movies, but again I love that it’s dark and a little scary. And this movie had just as much dark as I want. I like that I didn't have to turn my head not to watch for some scenes and be scared afterwards. So it was created for me. Some sentences from the movie still remain in my head. Really cool and extra movie.

Don't watch at night time if you get scared easily
●PLOT VIEWWhy did I even choose this movie to watch at midnight, It scared me to hell but then it was still the first half, while the second half is the explanation of the first half which was fine. It had all the substance of a thriller movie, creepy setting, murder mystery, sci-fi backdrop with a chilling story.
The plot was developed beautifully, I tried making guesses but was not able to predict, Firstly it seemed like a horror genre, then suggest as a murder mystery and then a thriller.it plays with your mind and keeps you on edge until the end. I paused at the point and tried to question what is really happening and who is the elder brother actually, Quite frightening for me. Anyone if finds herself/himself in that situation would probably feel the same. The ending is gloomy, two apparently good guys are eroded in their own created doom.
●ACTING/CAST
All the actors did an exceptional job creating this incredible piece. Kang Ha Neul definitely deserves praise for top notch performance. His emotions, expression was to the point and I actually got swept away with his acting.
●APPRECIATION
The writer-directors did an amazing job with the shift of genre and manipulating the audience delving into a deep dark story.
●REWATCH
This movie deserves a rewatch, but I would not be able to do that because of its excessive and horror moments.
●RECOMMENDATION
This is a movie if for people who want an excellent thriller movie where they had to keep guessing that what's gonna happen. The film had lots of curse words so it should be watched under parental guidance if below 16 and many of the scenes are also violent.

Well written but very dark
This movie is a bit of a roller coaster that keeps you guessing until the very end. You think you know but you probably don't. You may get an idea but the detsils and the why really don't all come together until the end. It is definately worth your time to watch IF you like DARK mysteries. It is a bit soul wrenching so beware.The acting is amazing and the story is put together well. It can get a bit confusing if you don't pay total attention to it. So be prepared to focus. It is not for doing something else while watching.
The re-watch value on this depends on how well you dont remember it. This was my 2nd time watching it. My first view was over a year ago so my brain was like I dont really remember this except for the fact that I remember it was really good.

Just one word: MASTERPIECE
This movie has to be one of the best,if not the best, mystery/psychologiac thriller in the history of movies, ALL MOVIES not only the Kdramas. There is too much to be told about this movie. At the start, I just thought that they had done something with his brother's brain, maybe someone took control of his body? maybe someone hypnotized him in doing this? But oh God it never came to mind how the whole thing was gonna end. The plot twists were unthinkable, I would never think of such a thing, the director has to be some kind of genius. And did I mention the actors' acting? God it was PERFECT! My boy Kang Ha Neul did such an amazing job ♡. The music? The way it made the suspense scenes even more suspenc-y; and scary was just amazing.Truth to be told, I actually watched this movie bc of Kang Ha Neul (I love him sm) but I'm so glad I did. And Kim Mu Yeol, hello? His acting is perfect, I need more of him, please. ( Kang Ha Neul too, GIVE MY BOY MORE MAIN ROLES!!!)
Don't just put it in your watchlist to watch another time. Stop looking for more series/movies in this platform. Go watch it NOW! 1hr and 48mins is one and a half episode of a drama series, it won't hurt to go watch it now...
or...
maybe it will hurt in the end..?

Amazing Movie
I have watched so many movies and tv shows (I mean American and Korean) and to be honest out of all of the shows I’ve watched I would say Forgotten is the best piece of entertainment I’ve watched. For me it tops all kdramas I’ve watched. So beautiful.Why I liked it:
It was executed amazingly. It had me questioning myself. I remember at one point I thought I had missed a piece of information because I’d gotten confused but it’s just part of what makes the movie amazing. You really don’t know what will happen. I won’t lie I did predict out some of the things that were gonna happen but that’s doesn’t mean it didn’t have the shock factor. Building up all that confusion and then just revealing everything close to the end was just *chefs kiss*. Acting was amazing, cinematography was great and production was 👍🏾
Why I disliked it:
I don’t have much to say on dislike to be honest. It’s just one of those movies for me where there isn’t really anything I can dislike. At first I did question the ending.
SPOILER:
I’m not necessarily one for having main characters die or anything but to be honest in some shows that’s probably the direction that makes the most sense. I mean they basically had no family, had done terrible things and probably really depressed. Just the fact that the guy whose family died had been investigating for all those years only to k*ll himself in the end.
I normally watch Romance and some thriller but Forgotten has just made me want to delve deeper into thriller kmovies like Forgotten.
Overall:
I would definitely recommend. 10/10. Even if you don’t really watch thriller that much I would watch anyways. Because majority of my watch history is romance dramas but a thriller movie is my favourite out of everything I’ve watched including kdramas, so 🤷🏾♀️

Unrealistic review?
According to my personal taste. As you see this movie got a solid 10 from me and I know it seems I did that lightheartedly, but I did not. From beginning to the end, it doesn't fail to hold the interest of the viewer. Soon we realise that something is wrong and we learn everything in due time. It's going to jump-scare you, shock you, keep you on the edge of your seat and even move you to tears. The acting was great, the music was beautiful and I've watched three times, enjoying it every single time. This is one of my most favourite movies ever.Was this review helpful to you?
