Nan Da Reum, Lee Sung Min, and Kim Yoo Jung shined with their eye contact acting without words

People are looking this the wrong way.

this is a good horror movie because it doesn't count on jump scares and it's not even scary.

For me, it's more of a religious action movie with slice of life and comedy.

Nan Dareum made me laugh too many times, perfect chemistry with Lee Sung Min and Kim Yoo Jung.

3 of them mastered silent acting.

Nan Dareum and Kim Yoo Jung are probably the only actors who can pull the innocent role.

Perfect ending shot with Kim Yoo Jung.

As a Buddhist, that's the main goal, to be free of suffering and reach Nirvana, and the movie portrayed it perfectly in the finale, on the 3 characters.

Plot twist is a genius. This feels like western action movie, unlike standard Korean movies with fillers.

The only boring parts? as usual, the murder mysteries the detective parts. Because we have seen too many of that in Korean Dramas. POLICE ARE BORING, we don't care.

Venom, Infinity War, Suicide Squad? Many of the scenes reminded me of that.

I am definitely more satisfied with this movie than 20th Century Girl, because the plot is engaging and the ending is perfect.

This is a meaningful horror / religious movie. Will always rewatch, perfect to watch with family.
