As far as Korean horror goes, it's not too bad, better than most out there. I only rate it behind A Tale of Two Sisters, which was more original with better cinematography and more defined characters. ATOTS was more a horror/suspensethriller though, while Ryeong is definitely dealing with the supernatural idea. Don't expect to be scared sh_tless or anything though. There's nothing really new here. A definite Ring rip with a little bit of Dark Water mixed in. Movie producers must really move beyond the long hair covering face wet female ghost idea. It's getting pretty played out. Seen one, seen them all. The production is good though with a story that's somewhat intriguing, keeping you guessing about what's going on until the finale. The end I was actually little surprised but the idea has been used before, an influence I believe from ATOTS and such where there's the revelation. Overall worth watching but it won't leave you sleeping with the lights on.
