Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, fantasy fans and action fans. If you loved Avengers: Infinity War or Batman Begins, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood: Tense.
The pace: Fast-moving, at 2 hr 21 min.
What might put you off: It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Critics were cooler on it than audiences.

As the deceased soul Ja-hong and his three afterlife guardians prepare for their remaining trials for reincarnation, the guardians soon come face to face with the truth of their tragic time on Earth 1,000 years earlier.
