“A movie where I can get behind Park Shin-hye’s crying.” – Me
Connected through a phone call in different timelines, Soo-yeon (Park Shin-hye) and Young-sook (Jun Jong-seo) help each other out, until a series of events leads them to become rivals. Armed with the power of foresight in the future, and the power to change the future from the past, the two young women face off to save their lives.
I enjoyed this movie both stylistically and content-wise. I absolutely loved the concept of communicating from different timelines and being able to influence the events, it made this movie unpredictable and thrilling to watch. The performances were good, though I must say Jun Jong-seo (Burning, 2018) steals the show and seems to be building quite the impressive track record. And may add that I was pleasantly surprised to see Oh Jung-se in this even though his role was more like a cameo, but it’s always a pleasure to watch him. lastly, I found the ending a bit too conniving and self-serving, and will for all intents and purposes consider that the movie ended 1-2 minutes before the actual ending.
I agree! I wasn’t sure about the ending. It seemed too far-fetched to me (yes yes I know the whole premise of the movie is fantasy BUT–) and didn’t quite vibe with me. Overall, though, I really enjoyed it! Jun Jong-seo was stellar, and after Burning and then this I can tell she’s going to make a very nice home for herself in Chungmuro–and a well-deserved one!
Right the ending was the only thing that unconvincing to me! We had enough twists, which were all enjoyable & didn’t need such drama for like the last few seconds.
“A movie where I can get behind Park Shin-hye’s crying.” – actually thought the same thing 🤣
I’m happy that she’s getting the chance to show her chops and bad-ass skills. PSH, fighting!
