No pun intended - for the police it is not easy to know who did what ... especially when the crime scene is not easy to ... well read or investigate. And when the police is unable to do their job (right), the husband of the woman killed seems to think he can take affairs in his own hands (no pun intended) ... and solve the mystery ... well if his head is still screwed on the right way by the time this is over ... he did not have issues to follow the twists and turns this takes.
Very well done, with timeline jumps (forward and backward), to tell us what happened and who was where ... when. Also who did what ... will justice be served? And were you able to figure out who did it? A lot of mayhem, especially towards the end ... with me being unsure who to trust and what to believe ... but be assured, the movie will tell you and give you answers ... you may not like them or how they are resolved ... but they are there ... really good thriller to say the least.

Movie Reviews
Victim and Culprit
An average film with average acting
Reminded me of a long and drawn out soap opera.
There were some good moments but other moments were so long and drawn out. I mean, how long does it take you to open a door? When the police came at the end because the woman said she was being attacked, I mean, would they just bang on the door and wait to be let in? Also, how inept are those cops and Korean justice? As for the lead actor, OMG, I just wanted to slap him and say, "Dude, man up you wimp!"
The film was a bit disjointed with its 5 months before, 2 weeks later type style and the plot was a bit daft. Bordering on the side of 'not really possible' just for the sake of being different. Wouldn't really recommend this. Korean crime films are normally very good but not this I'm afraid.
Casting is good
Victim's husband moved in six month after the case is closed. Washed the house thoroughly and get his house back in shape. I stopped watching when he reconstruct the murder scene later. Doesn't make sense at all.
