And i got startled when i know that Sang Ho is behind the human organ trafficker. I just can say "what the heck?! I amazed by Jung Ji Yoon acted. when she falls from the table and when crawling to call her husband. She is topless! I Don't know if that's her real body or they used manequine or something else. I can't say if this movie is good or not, but i enjoyed watch this movie. Besides, this movie got an award to for Best New Director on 2012 (33rd) Blue Dragon Film Awards on 30 November 2012. Congratulation!

Introduction Changdeokgung Palace was the second royal villa built following the construction of Gyeokbukgung Palace in 1405. It was the principal palace for many of the Joseon kings and is the most well-preserved of the five remaining royal Joseon palace. The palace grounds are comprised of a public palace area, a royal family residence building, and the rear garden. Known as a place of rest for the kings, the rear garden boasts a gigantic tree that is over 300 years old, a small pond, and a pavilion. The palace gained in importance starting from the time of 9th king of Joseon, Seongjong, when a number of kings began using it as a place of residence. Unfortunately, the palace was burned down by angry citizens in 1592 when the royal family fled their abode during the Japanese Invasion of Korea.
