The Wig

A interesting film that turned the wrong way

"A young woman named Soo-hyeon (Chae Min-seo) is struggling against cancer and her older sister Ji-hyeon (Yoo Sun) decides that she should take her home so that she really can enjoy what little time she has left rather than to spend it in a hospital. Ji-hyeon is a mute, during a car accident which impaled her throat, she now cannot speak again and can only make rasping noises at the most, despite this, she is a very strong person and very caring for her little sister. She buys a long haired wig with bangs for her so that she can go out without having to feel ashamed of herself, what she doesn't know is that the wig is cursed"


The Wig had so much potential but it really took a wrong turn somewhere and become very bad towards the end. In the beginning of the film we see two broken girls who are just trying to heal but seem to be in a bad place. The older sister lives for the younger sister basically and does all she can to help her younger sibling.


Soo hyeon is a cancer patient who has lost all of her hair due to chemotherapy and has no confidence or really the will to live. That is until her elder sister buys her a wig that is actually cursed but it gives Soo hyeon confidence and we see her character change drastically. She starts to dress and act sexy to the point she does whatever she wants.  She even starts to seduce her elder sisters former fiancée.

Ji-hyeon is the elder sister whom can not speak due to a car accident in which a piece of glass lodged into her throat. We can see from the beginning that Ji-hyeon will do anything for her younger sister. She really is strong willed but at times her care only makes things harder. Eventually she buys a wig for her younger sister that is really cursed. She is the kind of sister you would want if you had an older sister.



Yoo Sun is no hands down my favorite part of the movie, I simply enjoy her as an actress. I believe she doesn't get enough starring roles which is sad. Yoo Sun really portrays the younger sister really well which impressed me enough to watch her other roles. If you don't know her I suggest you watch some of her movies since she is one of my favorite actresses.
Chae Min-seo does a great job at portraying a character that goes through so many changes. I haven't seen her before but I hope I will be able to see her act again.
The major problem with this movie is that the plot truly goes so bad towards the end of the movie to the point that is it almost unwatchable. It had a lot of potential in the beginning but sadly whoever directed and wrote this film did not know what to do.

I suggest this film to those that like horror movies.
