'Kim Dami's choices are always masterclass!'
Another penned on Letterboxd: 'If you enjoy movies like The Day After Tomorrow, Interstellar, Wonderland or even the webtoon Distant Sky, you should watch this.
'Honestly, I only hit play for Park Hae-soo and Kim Dami, but it paid off immediately.'
They continued: 'The visuals were crazy in the best way. Every part of it clicked for me.
'I don't say this lightly. This movie stayed with me after it ended.'
While a third chimed in: 'THIS IS SO GOOD I'M SOBBING', while adding two crying emojis.

Fans were quick to recommend the film to others and shares their emotional reactions on social media
Previously, Netflix users raved about a horror movie starring a Downton Abbey legend - which was hailed as 'an all-time favourite.'
Apostle, released in 2018, sees Dan Stevens - best known as Matthew Crawley in the iconic ITV period drama - looking rather different.
The horror film, set in the early 1900s, has Dan play a man trying to rescue his sister from a remote Welsh island, where she is being held for ransom by a religious cult.
It was written and directed by Welshman Gareth Evans, well known for co-creating 2020 British action series Gangs of London, starring Paapa Essiedu and Peaky Blinders' Joe Cole among others.
The Netflix original movie has an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 79 per cent - and fans have now rediscovered it, taking to the review site to express their praise.
One said: 'I'm generally not a fan of supernatural thrillers but this is a story mostly of people behaving badly with just a little supernatural thrown in to make it a little more creepy.
'Not good for "sensitive" souls as it comes with plenty of blood but not overdone in my opinion. Well done cinematography.'
Another commented: 'As a huge fan of quality horror films, Apostle stands out.
'A slow burn of anxiety and dread, it makes the most out of its settings and concepts. It could have seemed slow if not for the proper use of mystery.
'It doesn't shy away from gore, but the violence is by no means senseless here.
'Apostle is by no means perfect. However, it's among one of the all-time favourites of the genre.'
Similarly, one person said: 'Definitely one of the best horror movies I have seen.'
