This movie was nonsensical but entertaining in a mindless way. At its core, it carries an inspiring message about not giving up on your dreams, no matter how hopeless life may seem, and encourages viewers to dream big.

However, if you take it seriously, you'll find yourself frustrated by the countless unrealistic aspects. For instance, how does a prestigious organization like NASA not require actual certificates or conduct thorough document checks? And how is she flying a jet with zero knowledge or experience?

It's utterly ridiculous, but if you don't overthink it, it's a fun watch that ultimately encourages kids to dream big and pursue their goals.

Honestly, maybe most of us writing the reviews are NOT the target audience and therefore have this view so I am not being too harsh on my ratings.

The writing is smart and concise, with a simple yet intricate plot woven with folklore and history. Although I found myself a bit confused at times due to my limited knowledge of Korean history, it led me to explore the story's deeper meanings, which I enjoyed. I appreciated how the narrative gradually unveiled more about the demon or ghoul alongside the main characters. The atmosphere was brilliantly crafted, and the character relationships were so well-developed that you genuinely start to care about them. The story was creepy as hell, with an added layer of fear stemming from the unfamiliar cultural elements and the eerie sense of not fully understanding what's happening, which only intensified the mystery and terror.

Honestly, what a letdown. With all the rave reviews and the movie being such a hit, I had high expectations, but it fell short in so many ways.

While the CGI was decent, a few jokes hit the mark, and the relationship between Grandma and Bittu, along with Munjya's crazy antics, added some charm, the film overall felt lacking.

The direction was a mess-completely scattered. The supposed love and BFF relationship between Bittu and Bela was unconvincing. They kept insisting they were lifelong best friends, but there was zero chemistry to back it up. Sure, they're good-looking and maybe talented actors, but their potential was wasted here. And don't get me started on the plot holes-there were so many I lost count.

And the ending... it dragged on forever. Just when you think it's about to wrap up, it keeps going. By the end, I was exhausted and just wanted it to be over. I really wanted to love this movie, but I'm left feeling disappointed.
