Korean collection of horror urban legends. I expected something similar to Japanese stories from Junji Ito and I am not disappointed.
Two hours of timekeeping share six almost independent stories (almost because there are Easter eggs in the plot, indicating that they are happening at the same time). And the collection takes acceleration, starting with the most passable parts.
It all begins with a story about the “cursed tiktok” with a simple morality about the harmfulness of greed. Extremely worn plot with Korean flavor in the form of tick-current.
It is followed by the story of the ordinary madness of a learned schoolgirl. Here, too, everything is predictable, but filmed well and look interesting.
Then there is the lesson about how bad it is to win at the casino. Where the scheme of wiring leads to tragic consequences, and still with a touch of mysticism. Very similar to Ito's story.
Then, just like Ito, the story about the gym and savings in a private house, also directed against greed.
The penultimate block is an extremely philosophical story about coma, consciousness transplantation and experiments on animals. Difficult, scary, incomprehensible.
And closes purely Korean legend about mukbang (which our localizers called mokpan). The thirst for fame, YouTube grunts, fake resentments, departures and all elements of the YouTube drama are present. The worst thing about this story is that there is no otherworldly.
On average, it turned out a very interesting almanac. Stars from the sky are missing, but executed beautifully and with a love for detail. So fans of urban legends should definitely watch it.
