Entertaining movie but it could be better
The movie is really great and keeps you at the edge of your seat. Nevertheless the story has some plot holes on the first half. The story feels a bit forced and there are some scenes that don’t seem plausible, viewers should watch the movie with this in mind and just accepting what they are shown. Having said that, the movie is entertaining and it’s worth the time.The acting is incredibly good and realistic, no exceptions. All of them seem realistic, having in mind the change of roles that the actors have to go through.

Enjoyed it. A few shock moments.
I enjoyed it. Liked the tense feeling. Watched for Jihyo but was definitely on Seojins side the whole time. A couple of jump moments in the latter half. I actually screamed. I really wasn't expecting it. Both their acting worked well against each other as well as the rest of the cast The camera angles and music kept it intense, eyes glued on screen. Would watch again.Spoiler:

Would of preferred if he got the police to believe him again. But guess he couldn't have the last fight with sister otherwise.
And personally would of preferred the actual result. But it was good. Made sense.

Loved the acting but the story failed me
This thriller movie could've been better. The casts were able to execute their roles outstandingly but the storyline is too lacking. Too much complications just to express that spending time with your family is way better than spending time on your work.For most parts, more than the curiosity about what's happening or what's going next, confusion prevails. Usually this kind of movie is slow burn where the details are given on the first part and it will unfold slowly towards the end giving that 'wow factor' but this one did not. It kept me hoping it will get better towards the end but it didn't. It left more questions than answers. On a positive note though, the music was able to set the mood of the movie giving out that creepy and eerie feeling.
The main lead Song JiHyo and Kim MuYeol executed their roles outstandingly. They were able to make their characters stand out by giving that mysterious vibes that fits perfectly on the theme of the movie. It such a shame that storyline didn't do well to match up their superb acting.
I personally watched this because of Song JiHyo and it really makes me sad because JiHyo is such a versatile actress and I really love to see her portray different roles but the storyline always falls short. No matter how good of an actress she is it's impossible to save a bad writing.
I know most people who knows Forgotten also felt this has the same vibes but for me, I think Forgotten is a better movie. However, for a fan of JiHyo like me, this is still a decent movie to watch and we get to see JiHyo on a different role.

Great Acting, Poor storyline
Overall this movie is watchable, thumbs up to all the casts for the great acting.As a "Thriller" movie, there's no thrilling moments at all, no surprise, nothing, maybe just a little bit mystery that drive the story but beside that nothing. The story line is too flat, I expect to have more surprises and or some "bloody" scene or sort of for this kind of genre.
So for those thriller / horror lover, you may still watch this, but do not expect any thrilling moments in it.
Too bad the great acting not supported with the great story line, it can be a very good movie with better story and more thrilling effects as a thriller movie should have.

Pretty Decent
Pretty decent movie to me. Had very good acting, story was weird but it fit it. There was plenty of twists and turns I wasn't quite expecting. I liked it, though the female lead absolutely annoyed the heck out of me, for how manipulative and annoying she was, but that was the point. I liked the ending, and how it left it. Not to spoil anything, but some people might not of liked it because it didn't answer a simple question, but it was good, and the realization the question didn't need to be answered.Was this review helpful to you?
Suspense!
If you are planning to watch it because of Song JiHyo, go ahead because same I watched this because of her. The movie was great, it started out with some back story regarding the whole movie it was great. SeoJin (Mooyul) was trying to find his sister then Yoojin (Jihyo) came at the right time then you are not expecting on what will happen next! The whole movie was a roller coaster ride! So many things happened that left me speechless. I enjoyed watching it so i feel like you will too! If you finished watching this, and you want a similar story, I suggest you watch “Save me” “구해줘” the story is similar.Was this review helpful to you?

Secured the Ambiance, Completely Bombed The Plot
Honestly, I only chose to watch this movie because of Kim Mu Yeol, and I did stay after the plot went south— just for him.It had a strong start. Ambiance was good, suspense was there, definitely had me at the edge of my seat at some points. The movie has characteristics of a traditional psychological thriller, with a sprinkle of horror into the mix. Cinematography was adequate, nothing wrong with the whole production and acting crew. As always, KMY effortlessly delivered his role and the rest of the cast portrayed their characters well.
Now, with such a good start, what could possibly go wrong?
All was well until the supposed big reveal. The moment that happened, the smile literally fell off my face and I really wanted to slam my laptop into the trash. Not only did they ruin a completely good start, but they just had to recycle some cliche, overused-ass premise that we’ve seen countless of times in the industry— cults. Dear lord, what in the world were they thinking by messing up a completely good start with talks of recruiting the "chosen child" ? A "God child" ? I’ll admit, I did not expect the plot to take this turn. However, I am definitely not pleasantly surprised.
Not to mention, the movie had plot holes you could drive a monster truck through.
Overall, a complete waste of potential down the drain.

The beginning and the middle was great but somehow I feel there is so much lacking in this movie.
I first saw it's trailer on YouTube and I'm hoping that I can watch it soon. Fortunately, dramacool and dramanice already uploaded the movie with English subtitles.The beginning is quite interesting and the middle is very intense but some questions didn't get an answer specially in the end.
Overall, I love Song Jo Hyo's acting ♡.
His brother didn't really trust her from the beginning til the end. I just don't feel any emotions pertaining to her older brother. I don't know why it's like he is not interested to have a connection or bond with his sister .
It's like he is ok whether his younger sister to return or not.
