Song Ji Hyo's role is magnificent and she does a great job of portraying her character well!

Started of great until it eventually faded
First of all I seriously don't understand why is there a movie series for Whispering Corridors. So far this is the 3rd movie and it still doesn't make sense. Pardon me if I don't get this kind of movie, I might be ignorant about this type of movies so it confuses the hell out of me.The way the story is introduced is clear - how they have shown the relationship between the leads, what caused the conflict. Up until there I was able to follow and even find it interesting. But after that I just totally get lost. I understand that there will be some sort of revenge but I totally didn't understand why was it executed that way. I didn't get the logic at all as to why this person become involved, why was she doing it, why are things happening, what am I watching? I was hoping it will get clearer towards the end but just like the precedent movies, it just confused me more.
I was happy though to see Song JiHyo's debut movie though. I understand how eye-catching she is in this movie. I am a big Song JiHyo fan and she's the only reason why I started watching the Whispering Corridors movies. Story-wise I still don't get why it's one of the longest running movie series but I am hopeful that it will get better on the next movies.
I personally didn't like it but if you loved the first 2 Whispering Corridors movies or you liked this type of supernatural horror thriller, this might be for you. Also, if you love JiHyo Eonnie like I do, please watch this. She's so cute and lovely on this movie.

Wishing Stairs tells a story of two best friends, Jin Sung and So Hee, and the rivalry born between them because of the upcoming competition. The movie effectively made me question if the events presented to me have any supernatural origin or are the result of the feelings of guilt in Jin Sung and obsession Hye ju displayed towards So Hee. Sadly, the director and writer straightforwardly answered said question by the end of the movie, instead of leaving me, as a viewer, with the possibility of self interpretation.
The structure of the story is simple and extremely easy to follow. The linear storytelling without countless flashbacks to the past events makes it a good, digestible horror flick that does not require much brain power to understand.
The performance from the main cast and the production value were truly good. The director knew the limits of what she could achieve in that time, and did not overuse cheap and not well made CGI or special effects for jump scares.
Overall, I would recommend it if someone wants to watch a fun, simple story that answers all the questions and truly guides you through the plot and events happening.
