Chimipja

When a woman, Yoo-jin (Ji-Hyo Song), comes into Seo-jin's (Mu-Yeol Kim) life claiming to be his long lost sister, he becomes suspicious of her claims and true intentions with his family.

This film has both good and bad moments. Let's start with the bad.

There is a vague setup for the film and not enough individual character building. We just aren't given enough reason to care about what is happening with the characters to truly invest in whatever outcome awaits. The way the story has been setup lacks a direction for cause of doubt and it seems a bit rushed.

What I believe the film had going for it was a nice atmosphere. It was very tense even without having all the character building. It is what pushes the film forward. Also the acting was rather good.

I recognized Ji-Hyo Song from Wishing Stairs (2003), the third film from the Whispering Corridors series and I thought she did a great playing subtle nefariousness in her role. I recognized Mu-Yeol Kim from Forgotten (2017) and although he played his part well, he was overshadowed greatly by Ji-Hyo Song.

As far as the twist is concerned, some will like it because it is such a drastic twist while others will look at the screen sideways. It will come down to how you personally feel about it. I thought it was interesting but a bit lackluster. I personally wanted to see something with a bit more punch to it.

Overall the film held my attention but it wasn't the fast paced, intense thriller that I've come to expect from South Korea. Just a bit disappointed but still a decent watch.

The movie is about her missing sister and the homecoming of the said sister years later, but protagonist have his doubt about his sister identity. All that is good, but the problem is, it's kind of obvious SJH is not the sister. It doesn't have the "so is SJH is the real one, or not?" effect, the suspense is not wholly there tbh. What the movie need, is another character who can claim to also be protagonist's sister, or something that can add more impact to protagonist confusion.

Still, I find the movie to be watchable, like my headline says, "just okay"

The movie is definitely intriguing, for the plot and cinematography make you feel and think like the main character. It causes confusion as what is real and what is halluction, yet still teach you subtly to always trust your intuition.

I recommend it to those who love psychological thriller, and enjoy plot-twists.

I watched it because I wanted to support Song Ji Hyo. The movie wasn't that great. The plot has no climax and can be expected. It would've been better if there's a plot twist to it.

Good movie, worth watching, i hope there'll be a remake of this movie into drama because i think the storyline is too short in the movie
