First of all, the plot goes like this: A beautiful but unfortunate Jin Zi was pregnant out of wedlock. She helped a pervert kidnap a child. The pervert killed the child and then kidnapped Jin Zi's child. Jin Zi could only serve as a scapegoat for 13 years in prison. Jin Zi in prison is kind and just, and has made several abnormal friends. After being released from prison, Jin Zi found the pervert and his lovely child with the help of his friends. In the process of revenge, Jin Zi found that the pervert had killed 4 other children, so Jin Zi found the victim's family, and after discussion, everyone killed the pervert together. When Jin Zi felt that his sins could not be washed away, and felt powerless and painful, Jin Zi's innocent and kind daughter forgave Jin Zi who abandoned her.

The center of the story is revenge and forgiveness, and the climax of the plot is violence over violence. However, the director arranged all this to tell you that Jin is an angel, a pure and kind angel.

The most obvious means is music. After watching the movie, I asked my mother, what do you think is the characteristic of its music? Mom said it was singing like a choir in a church. Yes, the organ of Europe, the child's voice of the choir, is so sacred, so pure, as if an angel was flying in the sky. What kind of picture does this music go with? It's dark, rundown scenes where violent, oppressive gold seeks vengeance. Also, on Jin Zi's face, after applying the eerie and terrifying blood-red eyeshadow, you can still see that clean and beautiful face. But this is the director's intention to tell everyone, Jin Zi and her story with strong contrast.

Gold's daughter, is the shining point of the movie. What Jin Zi really needs is not revenge. What she needs is to wash away her sins and help the perverted teacher kidnap her children. Jin Zi felt that no matter what he did, even if he cut off his fingers, no matter how much he used pain to atone for his sins, he couldn't make himself pure.

But her own child Jenny, she gave Jin Zi a new way of redemption. She wrote to Jin Zi and said, "I can't forgive my mother for abandoning me. Unless I kill my mother, or my mother says sorry three times." No pain. , Don't be repressed, as long as you sincerely apologize, you can be forgiven. This is something that Gold had never imagined before. Finally, when the angel-like Jenny smiled and said "you are too" to Jin Zi, the heavy snow in the sky turned everything into white, and Jin was truly released in his heart. It was the child's pure state of mind that gave Jin Zi a new way out.

In terms of actors, Jang Geum, who was diligent and optimistic in the past, is now a tangled, violent, taciturn and twisted gold. The change is too great. The actor's skill is profound and unforgettable.

The visual design is very thoughtful. For example, the red and black stripes in the room, such as the geometric figures on the toilet walls, all make people feel unreal.

The psychological description of the little people is also very attentive. The portraits of the parents of the victimized children and the portraits of the women in prison are both detailed and witty.
