When talented pianist Ji-ho experiences a stage fright so intensely profound that she can no longer perform before a live audience, she returns to her hometown and quickly connects with her former classmate Sung-ryong - a once-promising student who suffered a tragic accident that seriously diminished his mental capacity. As a child Sung-ryong was unusually bright, but now he's in his late twenties and possesses the mind of a six year-old child. Even after the accident Sung-ryong never forgot about his childhood love Ji-ho, and these days the only thing that matters more to him is his younger sister Jee-in. By day Sung-ryong tries to raise the money needed to raise his sister by selling toast outside of her school, embarrassing Jee-in to the point where she no longer acknowledges her well-meaning but hopelessly dim brother. But there is one person who seems to understand Sung-ryong better than anyone else, and that's his lifelong friend Sang-soo. Later, when Sang-soo falls in with some dangerous gangsters, Ji-so continues to suffer psychologically, and Jee-in falls hopelessly ill, the man with the mind of a child solves all of their problems in a way that no one could have foreseen. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A lunatic is terrorizing a group of friends who met in college in this horror thriller from South Korea. After visiting a college friend now living in the United States, Seon-ae (Choe Jeong-yun) becomes convinced upon returning to Korea that someone is following her; what's more, the stalker in question looks just like someone she once knew who died not long ago. While Seon-ae is trying to shake the mysterious figure following her, several other members of her circle of friends from her school days are falling prey to a psychotic murderer, and she wonders if her stalker may have murder on his mind. Gawi's supporting cast includes Jeong Jun, Kim Kyu-ri, and Jo Hye-yeong; it was the first feature directed by former cinematographer Ahn Byeong-ki. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
