A great blend of spy action school injustice and comedy and drama and cute romance. Great comeback for Seo Kang Joon. He is good a comedy and has the personality for the role with the right swagger and attitude. Ji Kin Joo is cute and sweet without being annoying or too self righteous and quite suited to her comic role. The villains look quite their parts and the chairwoman's daughter is quite good in her conflicted role.

The soundtrack is fun and suitable for what is going on from the nostalgic romantic song to the Mission Impossible like theme when they are investigating the urban legends clues and seeking the gold treasure. Hope k dramas in the future can have this kind of light hearted comic adventure tone.

Set in the classy world of an orchestra a strange twisty triangle unfolds between a conductor, his cellist wife and another cellist. It involves a house with a secret room that can view the master bedroom and master bathroom. It is quite suspenseful to see how each character displays their true colors.

Haven't seen the original Spanish language movie but this Korean version is not a similar remake. From what I see from the synopsis the Spanish story is quite different. So apart from an orchestra and a hidden room it's a fresh experience.

This is one of those Korean movies that is quite explicit maybe to make up for the prudishness of the TV dramas.

Song Seung Heon looks quite conductor like with his longer hair. Park Ji Hyun is quite different from her previous demure roles on TV. Versatile Cho Yeo Jeong has done a variety of roles and she is quite funny here. Effective supporting role by Park Ji Young as her mother and director of the orchestra.

Worth a watch.
