Love can melt a cruel person

Korean thriller movies always surpries me with it's ending. We get through one concept and it turns to be another. While I was watching this, I thought it is a story of mother and son who were somehow separated. But the movie proves me wrong. Its not about the separation and reunion of mother son its about untold revenge.
