This thriller film tells the story of Seo-Yeon, starring Park Shin-Hye who was in 2019 and accidentally got in touch with a woman named Young-sook starring Jeon Jong-Seo who lived 20 years ago in 1999.

What are the advantages of this film so that it can be trending and receive a pretty positive response? Today, we will list 5 reasons why this movie can be trending.
1. The plot that makes you think
Based on the synopsis, the story of contacting people in the past seems a bit cliché. However, the film is very packed with unexpected plot-twists and can make the audience uncomfortable sitting while watching.
2. A great cast of actors
The combination of Shin-Hye and Jeon Jong-Seo plays an important role in this story. If you have been less interested in Park Shin-Hye’s acting, we suggest you watch this movie because it may change your opinion.
However, praise should be given to Jong-Seo. His character as Young-sook in this movie can definitely make you not sleep at night. Although the story is based on telephone communication, the character of Young-sook in this film is very lively making the audience want to stay focused.
3. Interesting concept
We are quite familiar with movies and dramas with time travel and time-lapse genres. But not all the films or dramas managed to attract attention. In contrast to this film which shows life in the future and the past that runs in real-time.
4. Song selection
A movie would not be successful without the same great background music. The selection of songs for this film works in tandem with the story plot and certainly helps in giving a horror mood to this story.
5. Beautiful cinematography
Praise should be given to the cinematography of this film. Each camera shot and angle selected can attract the audience and make this movie more fun to watch.
Although the film is trending on social media and also on Netflix Malaysia, many comments were also given about the ending of the story. For those who have not watched, we suggest you watch this movie first and give your views on the ending.
