Speaking of Korean movies I 100% recommend Forgotten (2017)! You can find it on Netflix and it's sOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!!! Probably my second favourite movie actually

There's a small build-up in the beginning as you're introduced to characters but in like 10 minutes or less things happen and you're hooked. Punch after punch. It is INCREDIBLE

Forgotten (2017) - Movie Review

If there's one movie I have watched multiple times, it's forgotten (2017), a korean psychological thriller, directed by Jang Hang-jun. Although the story is intricate, the storytelling keeps it clear and easy to follow. It's layered, but the movie explains everything well as it unfolds. There are no boring parts; each scene keeps you engaged.

The Story: Synopsis | Overview 

The movie starts with Jin Seok waking up from a bad dream in the car with his family. They're moving to a new house, and when they arrive, Jin Seok experiences a sense of déjà vu, as though he's seen it before. At dinner, Jin Seok's dad warns him and his brother Yoo Seok not to go into a certain room which belonged to a previous owner. Jin Seok hears strange noises and investigates, despite his father's warnings, but Yoo Seok intervenes and they go outside. Yoo Seok is kidnapped that night and remains missing for 19 days. When he returns, he is unable to remember anything. Jin Seok becomes suspicious and secretly follows his brother, discovering something shocking.

Personal Thoughts and Ideas:

The main actors' performances kept the mystery alive throughout the story. I couldn't tell who was more delirious. Halfway through, I was trying to figure out what Yoo Seok experienced during his 19-day disappearance. But upon encountering a plot twist (which I won't go into details so to avoid spoiling the story), I wondered the reason behind Jin Seok's trauma. The movie portrays the psychological aspect of the genre really well, unlike many other movies.

The two main characters have different personalities; Jin Seok is quiet and timid while Yoo Seok is strong and intimidating. The connection between them depicted in different timeline of the movie, feels like watching them in parallel universes.

My favorite aspect of the film is its cinematography, which helps to solidify the story. Warm tones such as yellows, greens, and maroons are used consistently throughout the film, helping to maintain the timeline of the scenes. The exception is the scene after the tragic ending, which is depicted in bright colors, giving the impression that the viewers are witnessing an unrealistic ending or a delusion. It's similar to what-if scenarios, like "What if all of those tragic events hadn't happened?" that leave viewers feeling overwhelmed.
