I saw the name of this movie pop on a best of list by Rotten Tomatoes. I have to say I was blown away by this movie.
Set in the backdrop of 1930s Korea under Japanese colonial rule, a young woman, Sook-hee (Tae-ri) is selected to be the handmaiden of a Japanese heiress, Hideko (Min-hee). The more time that they spend to together; the closer they become. Under the surface, Sook-hee is secretly trying to defraud her.
I did not know what to expect from this movie. It was like an onion. Layers upon layers are revealed. I loved every second of it. I was checking to see how much was going to happen. I was in for a wild ride. Every part of the movie tops another part.
This is a movie that must be seen to be believed.
Rating: 10/10
