Crime, Mystery, Thriller Starring: So Ji-sub, Han Hyo-joo, Yoon Seung-ah
This film is a loose adaptation of the Argentine masterpiece The Secret in Their Eyes (2009). While the original Argentine film won an Oscar and is considered a classic of the genre, the Korean adaptation distinguishes itself by trading some of the original's gritty political commentary for high-gloss cinematography and intense emotional melodrama.
The story follows Sung-min, a manager at a cleaning company, who has a secret crush on his co-worker, Eun-ji. When Eun-ji is found brutally murdered in the office, Sung-min becomes the primary suspect due to his proximity and his secret hobby of taking candid photos of her. Desperate to clear his name and find the real killer, he teams up with a former detective who was on the case. However, the mystery deepens when Sung-min discovers a hidden camera in the office that reveals a much darker truth.
