The opening sequence is somewhat disconnected from the rest of the movie, but it gives a nice glimpse into the daily life in a South Korean city. Then the movie shows what goes on in a super-rich family. (w/o giving away the plot detail ...) I was waiting for the two maids to get back at the evils of the rich family in a different way, that door was cracked open a bit with the mention of the older maid's son at two occasions. I didn't feel any strong emotions towards any of the characters; perhaps, a bit more development in the maid's character would have earned more sympathy. Very good acting by the whole cast. My Rating: 7.0
