'So that's how we feel. . . - Dying of cancer, an elderly rich man committed suicide, leaving the entire inheritance to his beautiful young nurse Yeon Hwa. A journalist who suspects a hidden crime in this event gets acquainted with the heiress in order to get to know the girl more, and possibly discover her deception and self-interest. He, together with the viewer, unfolds the story of Yeon Hwa layer by layer, discovering new motives and meanings of what is happening between an angry, capricious old man, eaten by cancer, and his meek, caring assistant.
While the soul of the main character was exposed, the film itself changed its guise for me more than once. The intrigue of the first minutes was replaced by a soul-saving and slightly tedious movie in the spirit of “Knocking to Heaven”, asserting the value of life, humanity and kindness. But I soon forgot about it, watching an unexpected melodrama that turned the character of the characters almost into their opposite. Another veil falls from a wrapped (or confusing) plot, and this is already a detective. Honestly, so predictable and banal a detective that I instantly became disillusioned with the film, hastily suggesting that this was its essence. But this vestment flew, revealing a psychological drama and another unexpected turn in the relationship of the characters.
For these sharp turns I give the film a positive rating, but lower the ball for boring and often template dialogue. And for a rather modest, to my taste, visual.
