The story is quite original. A guy wants to find out the reason why he has been imprisoned for 15 years. Yet in the end it turns out that he has asked the wrong question. Instead of "why 15 years imprisoned", he should have asked "why is he let free now". The choice of music in violence scenes is also quite interesting.
I find however rather difficult to empathize with those people. Both the ultimate motive and the ultimate punishment are about incest. Obviously in the Korean culture incest is taken really seriously and you are supposed to really suffer psychologically when you learn that you have had it unknowingly. Rationally I can understand it. Yet emotionally I can't feel it. My natural reaction would be "okay. I have slept with my daughter/father. So what?"
