She is his servant, carrying out his murderous crimes.) Jang-hwa Hong-ryon is reborn.

Excellent but underrated film
Don't listen to the negative reviews
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
