    Will a father be able to prove his innocence or will become guilty ?

    The way this movie gradually unfolds secrets is too satisfying. How a daughter father sweet relationship turns into bitter even worst. Does he able to prove his innocence? Or is he really guilty?

    The story tells about a daughter and father living happily until his daughter becomes suspicious of him. Then why would a daughter be suspicious of his father?

    While she was watching a movie with her friend in theater, a voice was played if anyone could guess the voice holder. The voice holder is the person who kidnapped a little boy and killed him brutally . As soon as she heard the voice becomes suspicious but she becomes more when a friend of her also assumed the voice to be her father's. However,they are familiar with her father weak nature and kind behaviour. So,soon it comes to an end of suspicion. Besides, ,she started keeping eyes as well as taking a help a friend to find more about him. When the police find out about helping other with investigation, they soon become suspicious and catch her father.

    Did really he did that? What will happend if he is found guilty?

    A last minute attempt to find the truth!

    The Korean thrillers are the best, I can always pick them whenever I feel I want to be entertained. It was directed by a newcomer, but two well known faces interested me. 'The Classic' and 'The Last Blossom' are my favourites and now they are together for this, but a different genre. I think the story was great, but there's something lacking like the thrilling parts which is not as electrified again the concept the film had. You know it has some nervous moments, but not up to the mark if you compare it with other Korean thrillers you have seen.

    It was the tale of a young woman Da Eun who happily living with her father. The real moments of the film begin when she went to a film that based on the real event and soon she develops some doubts. Since she's a pursuing journalism, starts to dig it while the case is about to expire very soon. But what she finds and how it affects her life is the rest of the film where the pace keeps increasing till the final scene.

    Like I said it was based on an awesome idea, but should have developed better. Even though it falls short to get the viewers' appreciation, not doubt it was well executed with the brilliant performances. Except it fails to detail the important event of the film where all the puzzle created which is actually a flashback and supposed to be the twist. So I think the climax was a bit cliché, but a decent solution, overall not a bad film as it was considered by others. Once watchable and instantly forgettable.

    Fast moving story

    Anything (almost) that Son Ye Jin does is good. This thriller about a daughter who suspects her devoted father is a kidnapper in an old case. Things move quickly and you are kept guessing if and why. There is a good explanation and conclusive ending so you won't feel let down. Worth a watch.

    Secrets, Secrets and More Secrets

    Daughter thinks Daddy is a monetarily driven, kidnapping child killer. While this may not be a fresh plot, this was a decent movie. It was filmed well and I felt the acting was a bit shaky but it wasn't so bad that it couldn't be overlooked. My gripes are few. I wish it could've had more suspense or darker tone for the main character. When I watch a "thriller" I want to be on the edge of my seat and this just never met that mark. I thought that it was a bit better than average but it's a movie that I'll most likely forget.
