(KOREAN MOVIE) Vanishing Time: The Boy Who Returned - NOT good movie

Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned
Genre: Drama, Science Fiction & Fantasy
(Available on Iflix)



This is a fantasy movie from South Korea. A girl named Su-rin moves to a remote island with her step-father after her mother passes away. She met Sung-min, an orphan boy and they become best friends.  One day, they venture into a cave in the forest with a group of kids and discover a glittering egg, which, according to the local folk tale, holds a monster that can instantly turn a child into an adult.

Yes, the movie started strong. How they build the character of Su-rin and her relationship with Sung-min. However, after the first 15 minutes, the movie became confusing. I thought the movie would be a fantasy love story, but it turns into a mystery, crime, and fantasy. Also, the character of Sung-min (played by the lead actor) was weak. He did not stand out and nor deliver support. Also, the connection, spark, and chemistry of Su-rin and Sung-min gone in the last hour of the movie. Then the movie became boring until the end.

Rating: 2/10, not good for me
