Money and relationships are two of the most common reasons for murder. This was a slow burn thriller that could've been faster and wasn't that big of a thriller. I thought the acting was good and the story, while not uncommon, was well written. This isn't going to get your heart pumping but it was a good watch.

Someone may claim there are many loopholes in this film, however the overall performance is satisfactory, I did enjoy. At the beginning, it is a Cinderella story. When it comes to the second half, it is regarded as a sudden turn which drives me to see how they fake the rich man being undeath, I start sweating ! All these elements do not let the film fall into the worst stereotype.
There are too many things to talk about in a short time. This plot is still suitable for making an orthodox Korean drama. The plot develops in such a hurry that many places pass by in such a hurry that the whole film gives people an unending sense of suffering.
I like the way Koreans make the simplest plot an interesting adventure. As it is the movie seems to have a very straightforward plot. A guy hires a girl to look after his elderly stepfather. A cliche you would say, yes it is, and for the most of the time it seems to follow the typical story. However remember it was made in Korea so not everything is what it seems.
I was impressed with Yeon-Seok Yoo playing the stepson. It was so easy to fall under his charm. Who wouldn't do it?
