I watched this maybe two weeks ago and I thought it was quite mediocre. Average at best. Frankly I don’t even remember why I thought it was mediocre exactly… That is to say, it was simply forgettable. I remember the character development being shallow and some of the twists requiring some big leaps in logic/forced suspension of disbelief. It could have been way better, the concept was not bad. Anyone who’s been in an office space at night when everyone’s gone will tell you it can get kind of creepy. Not knowing if you’re truly alone. Unfortunately this film didn’t capitalize on that at all. The main redeeming thing here is Go Ah Sung. I think she had a pretty good performance.
Anyways, I’d say you can safely pass on this one. It’s definitely not terrible but it’s not good either, especially when South Korean is pumping out so many other high quality thrillers.
