it was shocking when I saw the ending part. she was slaved ultimately never freeing from her old sister. From middle school, she always has been a slave and there was a contrary vision though. at the first part of the movie, very sexual scene not keeping eyes off from the screen. I felt some kind of heterogeneous sentiment since cultural element is not tinged with Korean one. In spite of the fact, I deserved seeing the movie.
