Great acting from Kim Hye Su. It has the overall balance of showing the different aspects of the IMF crisis. Thankfully it stays original and not a spin off to The Big Short.

Engaging and educational.

Kim is totally convincing as a smart finance exec with integrity. There’s none of that Korean pretty-boy or plastic-girl nonsense in the film, thankfully.
