's horror thriller "Under Your Bed", which was recently released on Korean IPTV, is probably the only movie that received negative reviews from the audience because the male protagonist had too few sex scenes.
This remake of the movie was actually released in Korean theaters on December 13, 2023, but the overall response was not very good.
What is strange is that Korean movie fans have a very special criticism. They actually dislike the male lead Lee Ji-hoon for having too few "sex scenes", which is completely off track.
The Chinese market, which has always paid more attention to Korean films, still has no trace of "Under Your Bed" three weeks after its release.
Until the movie was released on streaming media, in the past two days, the up owners have brought this thriller out for editing, and the response speed was quite slow.
Actually, I am very dissatisfied with the Korean remake of this Japanese suspense movie, not because of its Douban score of 6.7, but because I personally feel that this Japanese movie has a low score.
Most of the long reviews on Douban gave it four or five stars. Although the movie is full of violence, abuse and other depressing content, you can still shed tears at the end, especially the dialogue of the protagonist is really powerful.
Those who gave it one or two stars mostly did so because they did not accept taboo content and had little to do with the quality of the film. So essentially, this Japanese drama was shot quite well. The Korean version of "Under Your Bed" remake by
is obviously very "cheap"!
failed to express the delicate, sensitive, "perverted" and innocent characters in the novel of taboo writer Oishi Kei. It spent more energy on creating vulgar scenes and violence. To put it bluntly, this gimmick is used to sell the movie.
No wonder some people commented that the Korean version of "Under Your Bed" has lost the sense of vulnerability and artistry of the Japanese version, and is just a purely obscene movie.
The heroine Ye En is almost like Mei Xiangnan in "Don't Talk to Strangers", but her husband Jiong Wu is much worse than An Jiahe who occasionally shows off.
Jiongwu has an overwhelming need for control and a serious tendency towards domestic violence. From the beginning to the end of the movie, he never gives the heroine any good looks. The first thing he does when he gets home is to press the heroine to the ground, rub and beat her.
The movie is cut from the perspective of the male protagonist Zhixun. He is a man with three nothings. He has accomplished nothing in middle age.
The long period of loneliness caused him to develop a perverted mentality. When he was free, he liked to take secret photos of various girls with a camera. This hobby came to an abrupt end when he met the heroine Yu En.
Because Yeeun is her high school classmate and the star of the class. Not only is she very beautiful, but she is also good at ballet dancing and has a charm that stuns everyone.
The male protagonist has always liked the female protagonist in high school, but Zhixun's personality was too shy and cowardly, and he missed his fate. But what he didn't know was that Ye En also had a crush on him, but the boy never expressed it, so they missed each other.
This encounter made Zhixun think about it again. He asked around and finally found the address of Yeen's house.
In fact, Zhixun also had some tricks up his sleeve. He initially opened a small ornamental fish shop near Yeeun's house. When Yeeun went to the supermarket to buy food, he also discovered this newly opened ornamental fish shop, so he planned to buy some fish. Put it in the fish tank at home.
This meeting was different from the last time they passed each other. Ye-eun recognized Ji-hoon and began to have their first interactions. Because Ye En ordered small fish, Zhixun came to the hostess's house with cleaning tools, helped her clean the fish tank, and took the opportunity to peek at the password to open the door.
and took advantage of this convenience to sneak into Yeen's house and install multiple miniature cameras in Yeen's room to view Yeen's daily life without blind spots. This move seemed quite morbid.
The problem is that he was no longer satisfied with peeping in front of the screen, and began to sneak into the heroine's home secretly, and thus saw the heroine's husband Jiong Wu beating the heroine again and again.
There were many times when Zhixun wanted to take action, but he finally resisted and hid secretly under the bed.
Until that time, Ji-eun couldn't stand the beating by her husband and secretly left the house. However, her husband's location installed on his mobile phone was found. He caught her and beat her again. This time, Ji-hoon couldn't bear it anymore.
He crawled out from under the bed in the bedroom upstairs and faced Ye Eun's husband. One of them used a kitchen knife and the other used an iron ball. Both of them were injured. In the end, Zhixun won and carried the husband who looked like he was not breathing. Got up and dragged him out.
But this is not over yet. The next day after Ye-eun came to his senses, he came to Zhixun's ornamental fish shop. Zhixun not only confessed his love to the heroine, but also took her to the basement of his home and saw the entire surveillance system.
Ye-eun was stunned for a moment, and found that Ji-hoon's voyeuristic desire was just as strong. At this time, the police found the store and arrested Ji-hoon. It turned out that Ye-eun's husband was not dead, and the police found multiple hard drives in Ji-hoon's home. , it was the daily routine of Ye En’s husband beating her.
The story finally gave an open ending. The two men visually predicted that the ending would not be too good. Yuen's father-in-law was covered in injuries and walked out of the ornamental fish shop shivering, looking at a loss, with no way out and no way out.
The violence and abuse in the Korean version of "Under Your Bed" were very uncomfortable to film. The picture is just a visual effect. It is completely different from the Japanese version's delicate description and heart-piercing touch. It also lacks the loneliness of the Japanese film. The core of forbearance looks like a poor imitation on the whole. No wonder even if it is promoted by domestic up-makers, its popularity is very limited.
