I have always been so amazed at how Koreans as well as other East Asians could think of stories that is beyond the scope of your imagination. This movie just attested such notion of mine because of the excitement it brought me to wait for the next scenes to unfold.
Stories with twists at the end are my favorite and in this film, I just felt like I was lost in a maze in the beginning parts but as the story went half-way through its end, it ushered me to proceed to the right alleys to escape from the perplexing labyrinth.
In the end, I've felt the overwhelming satisfaction of escaping from such maze because everything went the way I least expected though in a manner which is better than what I thought should, could or might have happened.
The movie tells about a man who was caught in an accident while passing through a certain road notorious for being prone to vehicular accidents. It was already dark when he woke up and a little lady appeared in front of him offering to treat his wounds. Since it was already dark, he was left with no other choice but to go.
Unsure of where the little lady might bring him, he was astounded to see a house so grand in the middle of the forest as they went deeper into the woods. In the house are a couple, a boy and a little girl, as if already expecting for their arrival. At that instant, he seemed to notice the unusual acts of the couple, apart from the bizarre location of such a magnificent house.
For five days, Eun Soo, the lead character, stayed at the house because he can't seem to find the way out of the thick forest. And for five days, he discovered a lot of secrets hidden inside the house as well as the uncommon behavior of the children. He found out that the eldest of the children, Ma-bok, the boy, has some powers to control and do whatever he wishes, including slaying the couple who once introduced themselves as the children's parents as well as other more who went lost in the forest.
In his last day, he learned that the children were born in the 50's and should have been older than what their appearance show - this he discovered in a certain room deep in the forest after following Man-Bok in his last day. Apparently, these children were longing for someone to take care of them because they had been victims of murder in their younger days. They all look at adults as bad people except for Eun Soo who earned their affection.
In his last day, after attempting to save the children from a murderer, Eun Soo declared that he truly could not stay to take care of them because of his newly-born schild, his wife and his ill mother. Beforehand, the children gave him a story book the same which he saw in the secret room in the forest where the death of other people were illustrated. The children asked why he still wants to leave when they already made him the hero in their story.
But the little lady felt how much Eun Soo wanted to leave for his family after she was hugged by him, while proclaiming that she truly like him as their uncle. In that point, the little lady gave in and told Eun Soo how he could escape from the house - that is, by burning the storybook they gave which contained all their memories of him.
Man-Bok tried to stop him but it was useless. He then woke up in the same area where the little lady found him, with tears in his eyes and still with the wound caused by the accident as if he was never lost for five days.
A few time passed, on a christmas, when he was about to go out to buy some milk for his daughter, he saw the same storybook given to him by the children, only it's beginning pages are blank. When he opened the final page, he saw an illustration of a boy, a little lady and a little girl, holding their hands together with smiles on their faces. Tears instantly fell in his eyes because he know that what happened was not a dream and that the children has visited him to tell him that they are now happy...
