Soo-jin (Seo Yea-ji) misplaced her reminiscence when she recovered from an accident. Her husband Ji-hoon (Kim Kang-woo) needed to fill in all the main points of her previous. However, she started to see what felt like visions of future occasions involving folks in their condominium constructing. In the next days, Soo-jin met up with a former colleague who confused her with tales about her and her husband that conflicted with those who Ji-hoon had been telling her.
Koreans actually excel in these crime-thriller with a psychological twist and this was another one in every of them. We see issues in the standpoint of Soo-jin and every part was being fed to us as it was being fed to her by Ji-hoon. We expertise the identical confusion she was feeling when she started seeing these prophetic visions. Her physician dismissed these as hallucinations caused almost certainly by her extreme concussion, apart from all her medicines.
However, as extra conflicting particulars had been associated to her from different sources, we share in her curiosity and paranoia to seek out out extra about this man who was calling himself her husband. This was particularly when he would determine prominently in her visions, which made him an increasing number of suspicious. As the police and neighbors get entangled in her mixed-up actuality and fantasy, we additionally have no idea the place the story goes to go.
The psychologically-disturbed Soo-jin is performed by Seo Yea-ji, who had not too long ago simply impressed viewers together with her portrayal of another psychologically-disturbed author in the TV drama “It’s Okay Not to Be Okay” (2020). Kim Kang-woo had such a good-boy aura about him as he performed Ji-hoon, which made it harder to reconcile all these conflicting revelations about him in the course of the story. Sung Hyuk (as a neighbor hounded by a mortgage shark) and Yeom Hye-ran (as a director in an artwork college) present efficient assist.
For these crime thrillers to succeed, the revelation ought to delivered with such meticulous ability in order for the twist to work. In her spectacular debut as director, Seo Yoo-min (who additionally wrote the script) did simply that and extra. Aside from navigating the sophisticated crime facet (with its leaping backwards and forwards in time) with strong logic, Seo additionally served the human drama facet very effectively, as she explored the complicated relationship between the 2 principal characters with such sensitivity and coronary heart.
This assessment was initially revealed in the author’s weblog, “Fred Said.”
