Hae-jun is a good cop, handling a case where a mountain climber had died and though the circumstances suggest no fowl job, the victim's Chinese wife Seo-rae becomes the prime suspect.

What happens when Hae-jun is truly shattered after solving the case, forms rest of the story.
The story entirely revolves around Hae-jun and Seo-rae, so kudos to the lead actors for coming up with a terrific performances especially Tang Wei as Seo-rae. The entire second half is what takes the movie to another level. This is definitely not a regular thriller as the characters have much more to offer to the drama. The setting up of scene, camera angles and characters placement especially during the confrontation scene, not to forget about the terrific poetic ending. Despite the slower pace, the narrative still leaves a lasting impact.
