I have to say that I hadn't even heard about the 2019 South Korean thriller "Anaereul Jukyessda" (aka "Killed My Wife") prior to sitting down here in 2022 to watch it. So I didn't really have any expectations to the movie, and director Kim Ha-Ra had every opportunity to impress and bedazzle me.
However, I was neither impressed nor bedazzled with "Anaereul Jukyessda", because the storyline was not entertaining, and the movie had pretty dull and faceless characters milling about.
The storyline in "Anaereul Jukyessda" was set up and presented in a way where the main character comes to without having any recollection about the day before, and that was the day his wife was killed, and now he is the main suspect for the murder. And he has to run around and trying to piece together the events of the day before. Yeah, it would have worked too, if there was any purpose to it, or if the characters even had an ounce of personalities or things to offer the viewers. But it just wasn't there.
I am sure that hardcore fan of the thriller genre might find something enjoyable in director Kim Ha-Ra's 2019 movie "Anaereul Jukyessda". But as a casual viewer, then I found this movie to be a swing and a miss.
My rating of "Anaereul Jukyessda" lands on a three out of ten stars.
