How did this movie happen?
This is literally the quality of writing we get from poorly done high school PSAs. The movie was confusing from start to finished, and not because of the complex plot, rather because of the unnatural, dumb decisions that characters were making.I start with the good, because there was literally only one good thing about this movie - Lee Hak Joo’s acting A+, acting the role, 10/10 would recommend.
To the bad. Let’s start with the female lead. Even the most dumb person who always dies first in horror movies is smarter than her. And as much as I know Kang Ye Won is a lovely person, her acting here classifies as tragic. This was the worst performance I have seen in any Korean production.
Then we have the most ridiculous and random plot twists dropped left and right closer to the end, which made the movie even less realistic. I could barely take it seriously from the start, but this just made it a whole new level of clownery.
Overall, god bless Lee Hak Joo and his acting, but I would recommend everyone to stay away from this movie.

What a trip
Where to even begin with this movie. On its premise this isn't all too unfamiliar of a story adding only the embellishment of a workplace setting. Its your typical female-led stalker/kidnapping thriller somewhere in the likes of a Blind or Door Lock only far inferior.The plot essentially boils down to a woman who is trapped in her workplace by an obsessive admirer in the security guard. They almost try to play it very lightly as a bit of a mystery who the creep will be with a few red herring moments but its pretty apparent from the jump its him.
From there the typically crazy obsessed stalker holds me hostage thing plays out; we've been here before. What truly sends this one of the rails is when they decide to pull a Shyamalan and pull the wackiness twist out of nowhere. Essentially a character we thought was killed as actually just playing along for..........reasons.
They Shyamalan again at the end of the movie when for some reason it seems to get into a kind of PSA on hidden cameras being bad and internet deindividuation bad. In conclusion, it's not that good.

A Big Disappointment! - Office kidnapping horror thriller
Korean horror-thriller film about a career woman who is kidnapped by a deranged security operative and held captive.VERDICT - Korean thrillers are usually very good and full of twists. This one has a very poor plot, and a stupid message and climax.
So it adapted from P2 (2007) movie & some adding of a plot twist. And the writers made the main character seem dumb and follow the stupid horror character. If you want to watch for fun and got a lot of time to waste, not bad for watching.

Ive never written a review before but the anger that cursed through me while watching this movie has made me decide to. First of all, it was all going well. But, Im sorry if this review is more like a rant, but the main girl was an idiot. Literally all she had to do was pretend to be in love for a few hours, eat some dinner, and then she'd be fine. Slight misfortune of having to do it multiple times after. But oh my god. She decided to make him the most pissed off person ever and kept fucking with him after multiple chances until he finally was like "fuck it I'm killing her." She also caused the death of multiple ppl, which wouldn't have happened if she had just behaved... the whole time I was screaming at her. Also he was honestly pretty chill. Creepy? Yes. Someone u want to be around? No! But if your life and others peoples life depended on it it'd be fine to actually have dinner w him. He was not the worst person you could be stuck with down there. Be his fake girlfriend! Make an escape plan or some shit when ur in a safe environment (aka not the fucking garage ur trapped in) and have his trust. Don't do whatever the hell she just did.

La verdad es que la historia me pareció bastante entretenida y la acción comienza desde el principio, es decir, no te deja esperando durante la mitad de la película para que pase algo. Sin embargo, es verdad que a mitad de la película, me pareció un poco monótona ya que era siempre lo mismo, pero es entonces cuando la historia da un pequeño giro que hace que el espectador vuelva a interesarse y la verdad es que eso me gustó mucho.
Los personajes también me gustaron, por un lado, el personaje masculino fue muy bien interpretado, tanto que hasta me daba coraje verlo de lo intenso que era muchas veces. Y la protagonista femenina me pareció una super girl que no descansa en ningún momento con la intención de salir con vida de su secuestro.
Si estás buscando una serie de acción que te mantenga con la adrenalina a tope, te recomiendo que le des una oportunidad a Watching, la verdad es que las películas de terror y suspense coreanas están a otro nivel.
