Program Note
Dr. Man, a psychiatrist, has the ability to uncover deep-seated secrets hidden within a patient's subconscious through counseling. However, he does not stop at counseling alone; he often engages in field investigations, which are forbidden for doctors, to solve problems, earning warnings from the hospital. He firmly believes that this approach is the best solution for the patient and is part of a doctor's duty. One day, DR. MAN gets a strange feeling about a taxi driver named CHOI whom he meets by chance. A few days later, after CHOI causes a major traffic accident and is hospitalized, MAN meets him again and starts counseling, gradually uncovering the reality behind CHOI's insomnia and hallucinations. This film, the fourth directorial work by Nick CHEUNG, who is well-known as an actor, is a horror movie that stands out for its fantasy sequences and artistic elements, which vividly depict the anxiety and trauma of characters shattered by shock. In addition to his direction, Nick CHEUNG impressively plays the role of the taxi driver CHOI, alongside Terrance Chun Him LAU, who portrays the psychiatrist MAN. Fans will also be delighted by a special appearance from Andy LAU. (KIM Young-woo)
