when looking for the twist ending. Without further ado, let's just find out more in Forgotten.
Forgotten begins with a scene where Jin Seok wakes up from a nightmare in a speeding car.
At that time, there was his mother, father, and his older brother named Yoo Seok. his family is
on their way to their new home. When they arrived, for some reason, Jin Seok felt familiar with the
house as if this was not the first time he had set foot there. His family looks so excited about
their new house. Jin Seok looked at Yoo Seok, still in awe of his brother. He remembered that
Yoo Seok was someone who was admired by everyone because of his extraordinary achievements. Yoo
Seok not only excels in education, but he is also good at sports. Even the girls at school
were crazy about him. However, Yoo Seok's accident a year ago injured his leg and crippled his walk.
Even so, his brother is so supportive and loving to him. Jin Seok and his family are so busy moving
things to their new home. Yoo Seok then put a calendar in the year 1997. Yes, in 1997,
this story happened. While carrying some things to his room, Jin Seok saw a room that is locked.
Yoo Seok said the room contained items from the previous owner and would be moved next month.
So the room was locked and could not be used. Jin Seok then continued to arrange some books until a
man who helped with the house moving dropped some tools. The man then asked Jin Seok if it was true
that the man he was talking to earlier was his brother? This man even showed a look of disbelief.
But the conversation was interrupted when Yoo Seok returned to the room and returned to help Jin
Seok. The family was having dinner together that night, but Jin Seok suddenly could hear noises
from the locked empty room above. Strangely, none of his family heard. His mother said maybe it was
thunder, but Jin Seok was sure it was coming from the room. Jin Seok will be taking exams soon, so
he is very diligent in studying. That night when he was listening to music in his room, Jin Seok
heard a voice again from behind the empty room, as if someone was behind him. He approached the room,
pounding eagerly to know what was behind it. Yoo Seok suddenly appeared and startled him.
Yoo Seok said there was nothing in the room and took Jin Seok outside for a chat. But
both of them did not realize that there was a shadow seen from behind the recessed door.
Jin Seok and Yoo Seok were chatting in the pouring rain until suddenly his father called,
so Yoo Seok went home for a while to check on their father. But on his way home, Yoo Seok was
approached by several men who then beat him. He was even kidnapped into a car. Jin Seok saw it,
but when Jin Seok tried to catch up to help his brother, the car was already driving
away. Luckily, he managed to memorize the license plate. Jin Seok, who arrived home,
finally fainted after telling his parents. The next day Jin Seok wakes up in his room, but the
police who were sent to look for Yoo Seok can't find where his brother is and who kidnapped him.
For days, the police searched, but they did not get any information about Yoo Seok's whereabouts.
Jin Seok is waiting, and he is always taking his medicine because he is hypersensitive.
One night while sleeping, Jin Seok woke up because he could hear voices again from behind the empty
room. Suddenly the door of the room opened by itself as if someone was approaching it.
But it turned out to be all just a nightmare. On the fifteenth day after Yoo Seok was kidnapped,
his brother finally came home. But Yoo Seok had absolutely no recollection of who had
kidnapped him. He seemed to have forgotten his memory. One night while sleeping,
Jin Seok realized that his brother had gone out at night but ignored it and fell asleep again.
The following day, as he was about to take his medicine, the pills fell under the cupboard.
Jin Seok ended up not taking his medicine that day. Then while having breakfast with Yoo Seok,
Jin Seok asked where his brother had gone last night, but Yoo Seok assured him that he was not
going anywhere. When he was about to go to work, Jin Seok felt something strange with Yoo Seok's
way of walking because suddenly his right leg was limping even though as far as Jin Seok knew,
it was his left leg that was limping. But Yoo Seok said it wasn't worth discussing.
Night fell, and Jin Seok was busy studying until he fell asleep on his desk. In the middle of the
night, Yoo Seok woke up looking at his brother with a sharp gaze. He then took a pencil and
pointed it as if to stab his brother in the eye. He then left. At that time, Jin Seok was not
asleep, and he followed Yoo Seok out of the house. Surprisingly, Yoo Seok was able to walk normally.
What exactly was Yoo Seok hiding all this time? By taking a taxi, Jin Seok finally arrived at the
place where Yoo Seok got off. there he could see Yoo Seok walking into a narrow alley, smoking and
without wearing his glasses. After passing through the hall, Yoo Seok finally arrived and spoke with
two men who turned out to be police officers who had been tasked with finding his missing brother.
How could the two cops now be Yoo Seok's men? Who are these people, actually? While following
Yoo Seok, Jin Seok is caught red-handed and begins to be chased. He tried to escape through various
narrow alleys until he outwitted the two men and disappeared into the darkness. Without knowing it,
Yoo Seok was behind him. With one gulp, he was knocked unconscious by his own brother.
Jin Seok then wakes up on his desk as if everything that happened to him was just a dream.
He immediately locked himself in the bathroom, and he was pretty sure it wasn't all a dream.
Yoo Seok tried hard to convince her that it was all a bad dream. But Jin Seok is confident that
the man out there is not his brother. But who is that man really? Jin Seok, who sneaks out of the
bathroom, is finally ambushed by Yoo Seok. The two duels until Yoo Seok convinces Jin Seok that
it was all just his imagination. It was because Jin Seok forgot to take his medicine yesterday.
Jin Seok felt very ashamed because he had accused his brother of such stupidity. He then returned to
his study desk. That's when he realized one thing, the pencil Yoo Seok used when trying to stab his
eye was there. That is, the man just now is not his brother. Jin Seok told his mother about it.
His mother was so shocked to hear it, did not understand what really happened to Yoo Seok.
That night Jin Seok woke up from his sleep and went down to the kitchen for a drink.
Without realizing it, he listened to his mother's conversation on the phone, who said that Jin Seok
was aware of all their plans. Turns out his mother was also a part of all this?
The information Jin Seok heard so shocked him that he finally ran out of the house to hide. Then when
he heard that his mother was going to his room to check, Jin Seok quickly climbed the wall in the
pouring rain to return to his room. Luckily he was already in bed when his mother came into the room.
Though his whole body was wet from the rain. His mother walked over to Jin Seok,
who was pretending to be asleep. When she made sure Jin Seok was still sleeping,
his mother then came out of his room. Hearing the door closing sound, Jin Seok immediately got up,
but his mother was still there. Smiled at him. Jin Seok had absolutely no idea what had happened,
and he knew he had to leave the house immediately. So climbing the same window,
he jumped out and fled. While in front of the gate of his house, he passed his father. But his father
looks different. His mother appeared behind him and looked at him differently. His father and
mother looked like other people back then. Jin Seok knew he was in danger, so he immediately
decided to run away. A man sent by his parent immediately chased after him. Jin Seok finally
managed to escape and arrived at the police station. At the police station, Jin Seok tried
to explain if there were people who pretended to be his family. When checking his data, the
police said that Jin Seok was born in 1977, which means he is currently 41 years old. Hearing that,
Jin Seok was so confused because he was 21 years old. It all sounds so crazy. The police
then said that they were in 2017. Jin Seok was stunned; he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
How could he possibly advance to twenty years into the future? He looked into a mirror, and that's
when he was stunned to see his face. He looks old, like a 41-year-old man. Did he just time travel?
The confused Jin Seok finally decided to go home. He then heard the sound of music from behind the
empty room. When he entered the room, he was so surprised to find two mannequins covered in blood.
That's when Yoo Seok, his father, and his mother appeared. It was clear they weren't his family.
Yoo Seok finally begins to explain that 20 years ago, there was a brutal murder in that room. Two
people were found dead, and the killer was nowhere to be found. The story is lost and forgotten.
Until the victims' families began to hire a professional team to find out who killed the
two people. After months of monitoring, Yoo Seok finally found the culprit, who was none other than
Jin Seok. Jin Seok is eventually captured and tortured by Yoo Seok. He was forced to confess
to the murder, but Jin Seok had no recollection of the incident. He was so sure he didn't commit the
murder. Yoo Seok finally hires a famous hypnotist, Park Song Tae, disguised as his father all along.
Park Song Tae believes that Jin Seok is going through a difficult time that makes him forget
his memories. So to make him remember, he will be hypnotized and take him back to 20 years ago
to find the missing pieces of his memory. With his hypnotic abilities, Jin Seok is transported
back in time before May 1997, and he must also be given a drug that will induce his hypnosis. Then
after being hypnotized, Jin Seok finally returned to the age of 21 years in a car with his father,
mother, and brother. That's the moment when this movie starts. That's also the reason why Jin Seok
felt he had seen their new home the first time they moved in. And of course, the house mover
who had asked if Yoo Seok was really his brother was not without reason, because how could he look
so much older than his brother? In addition, the thumping sound that Jin Seok heard from the empty
room was the moment when Yoo Seok's men began to move various mannequins to create the previous
murder scene. Their goal is to bring Jin Seok back to the time of the murder so that he can remember
all his actions. That's also why Yoo Seok took Jin Seok out that night, so his team could prepare for
the murder scene. However, the plan did not go as expected. When he came home to check, Yoo Seok was
blocked by the police, who had been after him all this time. He was taken away until Jin Seok
thought his brother was kidnapped. It took Yoo Seok two weeks to get Yoo Seok out of prison,
and they were ready to put the plan into action again, bringing Jin Seok to the scene of a murder
20 years ago on a rainy day. Unfortunately, it didn't rain for the next few days until the time
came when Jin Seok caught Yoo Seok in disguise. But Jin Seok was still convinced that it wasn't
him who killed the two people in the room, making Yoo Seok angry. That's when Jin Seok managed to
escape from the car. He then ran and was chased by Yoo Seok from the car. Through a narrow alley,
Yoo Seok drove his car quickly until it hit a tree and got into an accident. Jin Seok finally ran
away, but when he was about to cross the road, he was hit. Jin Seok never expected that the
collision would bring back his lost memories, memories from 20 years ago. It was May 1997,
young Jin Seok was listening to music by a lake. He was then called by his father,
mother, and brother. They want to go home. Jin Seok was asleep on his mother's shoulder
in the car, not expecting that they would have an accident that killed his parents. Meanwhile,
his brother lay dying in the hospital. A stressed Jin Seok tried hard to make money, especially
when the monetary crisis hit Asia. He had to save his brother's life. At the hospital, Jin Seok is
approached by a doctor who says they must operate on his brother as soon as possible or his life
will not be saved. Jin Seok was so frustrated that he had no money until he finally got a
reply from someone's email, saying he would give him a lot of money if Jin Seok would do a task;
murdering someone. Jin Seok was so depressed that he finally accepted the job; a decision he will
regret for the rest of his life. That night, Jin Seok arrives at the scene of the murder. It was
raining heavily, and Jin Seok was ordered to kill the woman in the house, but he was not allowed
to touch his two children. In the master bedroom, Jin Seok could see a woman sleeping with her son.
But Jin Seok changed his mind. When she was about to leave, the woman woke up and was so shocked to
see Jin Seok standing holding a knife. Jin Seok said if he was going to leave as long as the
woman didn't scream. Unexpectedly, her daughter woke up and came down from the upstairs room.
Seeing Jin Seok holding a knife, the girl screamed until Jin Seok chased her into the room,
trying to silence her. The two collided at the door until Jin Seok accidentally stabbed the
girl in the stomach and killed her. Her mother, who came in, was so hysterical and screaming.
That's when Jin Seok immediately stabbed her in the stomach and finished her off. Jin Seok is very
frustrated and is about to run away, but the boy wakes up and looks for his mother. Jin Seok asks
the boy to go back to sleep and counts 1 to 100, promising that his mother will return soon. When
he was about to leave, Jin Seok realized that the person who ordered him to kill was the doctor at
the hospital. Jin Seok finally met the doctor. The doctor was so angry that his daughter died.
When his goal was to ask Jin Seok to kill his wife so he could get her insurance money. The two then
dueled until the doctor fell from the roof of the building and was killed. Since then, Jin Seok has
been so frustrated that he's been under a lot of stress and has lost his memory. The scene of
the film is pulled back to the year of 2017 where Jin Seok is lying in the hospital. Yoo Seok came
and was about to inject a poison liquid that would kill him. That's when Jin Seok apologized because
he didn't really want to do any of that. Yoo Seok asked if it was the husband of the woman
who instructed him to kill his family? Because he realized that a month before the incident, the
doctor bought a lot of insurance. Yoo Seok finally admits that he is the boy who Jin Seok asked to
hide under the covers while counting to 100. Yoo Seok has spent his entire life in an orphanage and
vows to find the person who killed his family. But Jin Seok lied and said if it wasn't his father who
told him to kill his family. Yoo Seok knew that Jin Seok was lying, so he finally walked away.
Aimlessly, Yoo Seok walked to the end of the hospital window and jumped, ending his life.
Meanwhile, a stressed Jin Seok also ended his life by injecting the poison that Yoo Seok brought
into his body. Their lives have come to an end. This story is also pulled back to a time in 1997
where Jin Seok was called by his mother by the lake to come home. When he was about to leave,
Jin Seok met a 5-year-old boy. Unexpectedly, the boy was little Yoo Seok, who was on vacation
at the lake with his family. The fate of the two was clearly written from then on.
