Unlocked

Unlocked (스마트폰을 떨어뜨렸을 뿐인데) is a thriller film written and directed by Kim Tae-joon and stars Chun Woo-hee, Yim Si-wan, Kim Hie-won and Park ...

Ji-man and Jun-yeong had planted a peach tree deep in the forest in the mountains when the latter was young. When Ji-man first realised that his son might be after the several murder cases popping up around him, he finds out where his son has been staying in the present and goes to his apartment when he isn’t home, then unaware that the person he was searching for wasn’t his son. Fortunately for her, the police get there just in time to save them both and frustrated, Na-mi shoots her attacker. Although his motives were unclear, it might be just because Na-mi was unlucky enough to leave her phone on the bus that first night. Unfortunatley, Jun-yeong was the murderer’s first victim, and he probably drowned him as well and took over his life in order to disappear if caught. Na-mi would’ve been his 9th, as depicted in his notes, but it was foiled thanks to her quick thinking and the police’s somewhat swift action.

If you are wondering about the ending of Netflix's new movie Unlocked starring Yim Siwan and if the movie is worth a watch, keep on reading!

Police officer Ji Man is investigating a murder case of a woman and he has a feeling that his son (Jun Yeong) who left home ages ago is involved in the crime. Ji Man can’t control his anger learning his son is dead and unleashes quite a few punches at the killer. Jun Yeong targets Na Mi by installing spyware and eventually eliminates all her friends and family members in a way that nobody would text or call her. What makes Unlocked a not-so-predictable watch is the uncertain nature of Jun Yeong. For Unlocked, he chose the former and delivered a performance that can send chills down one’s spine as one progresses through the film. Netflix’s latest Korean movie Unlocked was released on February 17 and the mystery thriller quickly became the latest buzz of Korean drama and film fans.

The new Netflix Korean Thriller, Unlocked, is now streaming, but should you give it a watch? As noted in our review of the post-climate crisis sci-fi ...

While his character may not have had a great time, I enjoyed the father-daughter relationship between Park Ho-San’s character and Na-Mi. While he quickly deduces that his estranged son is somehow involved, the detective still bungles many aspects of the investigation including identifying the criminal when they trap him late in the film. He also journals his every intention which takes away most of the surprise as the plot unfolds. The stalker we know for most of the film as Jun Yeong has no true motive for his crimes. Na-Mi is a very average victim with an incredibly thin personal connection to her stalker that develops after her phone is stolen. [Unlocked](https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/unlocked-netflix-korean-thriller-is-coming-to-netflix-in-february-2023/) centers around the smartphone-obsessed Na-Mi, who loses her phone after dropping it on the bus coming home from a night out with friends.

Netflix Korean film "Unlocked" is almost a detailed argument presented with a case study about all that can go wrong with technology.

The lack of motive further adds to the general lack of objective in people’s lives. Though as a film, I believe “Unlocked” did not unlock its full potential; the film tried too hard not to be predictable and, in the meantime, forgot to focus on the characters, who deserved to be more than just ways to help the story proceed. While the thrill factor is heightened towards the end, “Unlocked” fails to be effective due to the lack of character exploration. The film surely caters to the Netflix audience in search of an entertaining watch that does not require too much thought. It was not easy for Ji-Man to accept that his son might be involved in the serial killing, but he wanted to be the first one to get a hold of him. All he wanted to do was punish his son for destroying the reputation he had built over the years. He wondered if Jun Yeong was responsible for the murder or if he was being used by one of his friends. He tracked down his location and found crucial evidence that proved that Jun Yeong was responsible for the recent murder. And just like in the school debates where we argued about the boon and curse of the internet, “Unlocked” is almost a detailed argument presented with a case study about all that can go wrong with technology. Upon discovering vials of plant food, Ji-Man walks down to the source and recognizes the plum tree. We follow her through her social media, and in the end, we witness a drunk Nami leave her phone on the bus. At the center of this chaos is Lee Nami, a marketer working at a jelly startup company.

What happens at the end of Netflix's South Korean thriller film Unlocked? Does Na-mi catch the perp? Who is her stalker? Spoilers ahead.

We don’t find out who the killer is in the movie (as in, we don’t learn his name/real identity), we know he’s not Jun-yeong, but the articles at the end of the movie reveal that he was not registered at birth and his identity is still unknown. It’s unclear if Na-mi returns to her other job at the marketing start-up, but we do know she’s back at the coffee shop with her dad at least. As for Na-mi, her story goes viral, attracting significant attention from the press and true crime enthusiasts who visit her at her dad’s coffee shop. They apprehend the killer and handcuff him, but Ji-man can’t bring himself to shoot him despite knowing what he’s done to his son and many other victims. Realizing that “Jun-yeong” could still be listening to her through her phone, she writes “no texts, calls only,” on the detective’s business card and shows it to them through the window. We learn that Jun-yeong was one of the killer’s first official victims and after learning about his life, he began impersonating Jun-yeong, stealing his identity.

Let's take a look at the Netflix film Unlocked starring Im Siwan, Chun Woo Hee and more.

Of course, even the sense of reality fades. The story that stretches from the subject of smartphone loss, which everyone has and has experienced at least once, comes as a life-threatening fear based on a sense of reality. Inevitably, in this day and age, 'smartphone' has become more than just a means of contact and has become a means to dominate all daily life such as communication, finance, transportation, and work, and to continue life. Director Kim Tae Jun made his first feature film debut, based on the novel of the same name by Japanese author Akira Shiga, which was also made into a film in Japan. The Following the collapse of normal daily life, it became fear itself.
