TLDR; If you don't mind the plot progressing solely due to the incompetence of the main character, the police, and everyone close to the main character and want a thriller about a cyber-stalker, then you should maybe consider this movie.
Starting off with the positives, I think that the thriller side of the movie is done very well. The movie gets intense at times and does well at conveying the stressful moments. This is mostly thanks to the very well acted performance of the mc, but also due to the nicely executed introduction of the villain which made him/her a real unhinged threat. I also liked some of the creative shots in the movie.
Moving on to the negatives, the biggest negative is that everyone in the movie makes the dumbest decisions ever, by either not taking the threat seriously or by sheer incompetence. It's hard to write about this without going into spoilers but I don't think it's hard to imagine what I mean, since this is all too common in this genre. The ending also felt rushed, again it's hard to write about without going into spoilers.

The deserved Target
Should you watch this movie as you feel like watching a Korean Movie. Short answer yes. But there's always a but.
As we all know there are crazy people in online, and the best thing to do is to ignore them especially if that person have your information. But fortunately for this buyer who got scammed, decide to triggered the scammer. And paid the price.
It's actually an informative movie teaching you how or what scammer could do with your information. Should you want to try it out yourself or prevent yourself.
I really wanted to praise the movie, but it got so really stupid at the end, that maybe she deserved it all.
