About This Movie

Lee Dong-hyun crafts a gritty atmosphere, using muted colors and sharp contrasts to reflect the characters' internal struggles. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer as secrets unfold. The supporting cast, particularly the married couple Taeh-yeon and his wife, adds a rich dynamic that explores themes of fidelity and betrayal.
