Watching (2019)

How did this movie happen?

This is literally the quality of writing we get from poorly done high school PSAs. The movie was confusing from start to finished, and not because of the complex plot, rather because of the unnatural, dumb decisions that characters were making.

I start with the good, because there was literally only one good thing about this movie - Lee Hak Joo’s acting A+, acting the role, 10/10 would recommend.

To the bad. Let’s start with the female lead. Even the most dumb person who always dies first in horror movies is smarter than her. And as much as I know Kang Ye Won is a lovely person, her acting here classifies as tragic. This was the worst performance I have seen in any Korean production.

Then we have the most ridiculous and random plot twists dropped left and right closer to the end, which made the movie even less realistic. I could barely take it seriously from the start, but this just made it a whole new level of clownery.

Overall, god bless Lee Hak Joo and his acting, but I would recommend everyone to stay away from this movie.

What a trip

Where to even begin with this movie. On its premise this isn't all too unfamiliar of a story adding only the embellishment of a workplace setting. Its your typical female-led stalker/kidnapping thriller somewhere in the likes of a Blind or Door Lock only far inferior.
The plot essentially boils down to a woman who is trapped in her workplace by an obsessive admirer in the security guard. They almost try to play it very lightly as a bit of a mystery who the creep will be with a few red herring moments but its pretty apparent from the jump its him.
From there the typically crazy obsessed stalker holds me hostage thing plays out; we've been here before. What truly sends this one of the rails is when they decide to pull a Shyamalan and pull the wackiness twist out of nowhere. Essentially a character we thought was killed as actually just playing along for..........reasons.
They Shyamalan again at the end of the movie when for some reason it seems to get into a kind of PSA on hidden cameras being bad and internet deindividuation bad. In conclusion, it's not that good.
