  她只想過一些平凡的日子……金子

  金子(李英愛飾)是一名美得叫人側目的女孩。但年僅二十歲的她,卻因綁架及殺害一名男童而鎯鐺入獄。這位美貌年輕的重犯令全國轟動一時,傳媒爭相報道。

  在十三年漫長的禁固生涯中,金子一直都勤奮謙恭、和藹可親,被其他犯人暱稱為「親切的金子」。雖然身處監獄,她卻從來沒有浪費過時間,每天天都在計畫如何向當年的英語老師「白先生」(崔岷植飾)報仇。

  金子的親切為她贏得不少友誼。將要重獲自由的她如箭在弦,準備將復仇大計付諸實行。到底,十三年前她和白先生之間發生了甚麼事?為何她要報仇?她的計畫成功嗎?這些謎團的答案,有待觀眾自己一一發現……

All she wanted was a peaceful life…

- Geum-ja

  Geum-ja (Lee Young-ae), a beautiful girl who cannot help but draw attention of all the men around her, was first introduced to the public as the one responsible for the abduction and murder of a little boy at the age of twenty. Being so young and pretty, her horrific crime drew national media attention.

  But now, 13 years have passed and in that time, Geum-ja has been the most hardworking and model prisoner, earning the nickname "sweet" Geum-ja.

  "Sweet" Geum-ja, however, has not been idle during her time in prison. For 13 years, she plotted revenge against her former teacher, Mr. Baek (Choi Min-sik). Her kindness while in "the joint" has paid off and has now gained many friends and allies. Now that Geum-ja is getting out of jail, she is ready to put her carefully conceived plan into action.

  What happened between Geum-ja and her teacher 13 years ago? Why does she want revenge? And how will her quest for vengeance end? These are the mysteries of SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE.

Sympahty For Lady Vengeance Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
There is no denying that this movie looks visually stunning, with its mix of retro glamour and manga-noir fantasy. From the wallpaper to details like the peach-pink shade of a single marble (a significant prop in this storyline), director Park Chan Wook displays an unerring, Wong Kar Wai-like instinct for saturating his work with lines and colors so sensual they also make you swoon. The most obvious example of this is the red eye shadow rimming the eyes of leading lady Lee Young Ae, which gives her a cooler-than-thou air that is part ironic geisha and part avenging angel.

In a glib subversion of her virtuous Jewel In The Palace persona, Lee plays a woman released from prison after serving time for a crime she didn't commit. She then sets out to avenge herself, and, along the way, reclaims her long-lost daughter, Lee demonstrates her versatility well, playing various degrees of twisted, jaded, and remorseful with an understated elegance. Still, there is something troubling about the film's apparently feminist stance.

Despite the casual servings of stylished violence and black humour one has come to associate with Park, Sympathy For Lady Vengeance ultimately strikes one as a deeply conventional piece. Its protagonist, armed with a halo of maternal love, is never really tainted by the sins she commits, which are filmed with such a grosteque-comic air that one can scarcely take them seriously anyway. The final act of this movie, which involves a collective act of vigilante justice, is the apotheosis of the movie's facile wit - too clever by half and lacking in real emotional resonance. As far as kickass female avengers go, you would do better to stick with The Bride from Kill Bill.
