Eun-Yi (Do-Yeon Jeon) is a young woman who’s been hired to work as a housemaid in the home of a rich family. Shortly after being hired she begins to have sexual encounters with the husband of her employer and the film follows us down the dark path that these questionable decisions kick off.

If you read the above plot summary and imagined that this movie would be anything other than provocative then you’re what we call an eternal optimist. The film not only takes a most graphic look at the encounters of Eun-Yi and Hoon (Jung-Jae Lee) but it also never makes it seem like either of them are being used in either case. Both of them understand that these evenings are not for anything else other than feeding this sexual hunger that they both have.

Eun-Yi’s very pure, almost childlike spirit, shows how children are abused. Even though she’s more than the age of consent, and she isn’t shouting rape, you view these carnal acts as a decision that no person of sound mind would be a part of; like how a child may decide to do something just because the opportunity is being presented to them and they don’t think of the consequences. So when consequences come knocking and we see how everyone handles it we never point a finger at Eun-Yi even though she should’ve known what she was getting herself into.

The pure childish personality of Eun-Yi is amplified since you see her during her work with Nami (Seo-Hyeon Ahn), the family’s first born child, and caring for her employer’s unborn children as she’s pregnant with twins and the care she gives Haera (Seo Woo) and her unborn children as she pays special attention to Haera’s overall health for the sake of her and her soon to be second and third born children. It’s a great way to show character traits, because instead of us being told we’re actually witnesses to this, even though in the second half of the movie it has to ruin the joy of these character traits by having the supporting cast telling us just in case you missed it.

Where this movie fails to affect you is with the sex. The movie’s handling of sex and fraternization feels so bland that you
almost don’t feel anything as you see Hoon and Eun-Yi having sex. It brings me to question as to whether the film just wanted to tell men to be more careful as opposed not to do it at all. As if this case is special, since the woman went a bit insane over it all she’s to blame for how badly this choice went as opposed to the fact that the man made a poor decision.
