I watched this having no idea about the story it's based on, and having no expectations. This turned out to be a very weird ghost story, that was pretty bad, but kinda entertaining.
The acting is really bad, but in an almost campy way, so it's forgivable. The plot goes from completely predictable to throwing in the most random plot twist I think I've ever seen. The twists aren't even original, they just seem to be thrown together arbitrarily.
I thought the story was confusing, and didn't really make sense at times, yet I was still interested in what happened next. The ending is meant to be sad, but there were too many distracting elements to the story, which stopped me from getting into the story. It definitely hits all the major Asian Horror themes... including revenge, and guilt.
The main theme seemed to be that women in love can turn obsessive and dangerously crazy if you break their heart. If you thought the title meant something more romantic, you will be sadly disappointed. There is an obligatory "don't do this" curse too, where people of course do exactly what they are warned not to do, and I'm entertained by those horror scenarios, so that was a bonus.
Overall, by horror standards it's decent, and worth watching if you like J-Horror. However, It's certainly not a must see.
