I'm not a big fan of MHG, but I've read a few of her books, but I am sure she was an influence in the writing here.
The tense buildup, the character development, the long climax with an intense feeling of real time emergency on several perspectives ; the pacing, the acting, the photography, the camera work are spot on on so many levels.
Moon-jo is one of the creepiest villains ever caught on film (and casting Dong Wook-Lee, a model more famous for his heartthrob roles in teenage girls-dramas, was genius), and actress Jeong-eun Lee (of "Parasite" fame) as the housekeeper delivers gold.
Watching this gem you are in for an intriguing, chilling, thrilling ride.
