The Kang family moves to the countryside to open a lodge on a remote mountain. The family then becomes anxious and restless waiting for the very first customer. When their first customer finally arrives, the family is incredibly excited, but their excitement is only short-lived. The man came to the remote mountain to commit suicide and he does so with the help of his room key. The next day, the family decides to quietly bury the man near the lodge to avoid any bad publicity for their new business. Will the Kangs' fortune turn for the better?

I liked this movie a lot,
This story is unique and somewhat strange!
the cast are famous too much, it's nice that this film was filmed when they are young in age (I liked it) and I liked the soundtrack, was fantastic.

When I heard that this movie was filmed in 99s
I thought that the quality will not be so good!
but AsiaTorrent fled movie with very good quality as any modern production!

Very Dark Comedy

If you like your comedies so dark it is beyond pitch black, you cannot miss this movie.
Things go wrong against the family's wishes over and over again.
The style of filming feels a bit like Dogme 95 style, but it does not abide by all the rules; it can just give you an equally eerie feeling. It is mostly the lack of background music we tend to expect in a movie. There is some music, but it is in a stark juxtaposition with what's happening on screen. The style of filming feels "raw but polished". It is slightly dated, but some of it was dated even for the time, so I do belief this was intentional. The filming style contributed to me feeling more engrossed in the movie, and it made me feel on the side of the family despite everything horrendous happening. I smiled very often at this peculiar family. This movie is not for the faint of heart, though, despite it being a dark comedy. Trigger warnings for blood and death, but that's in the synopsis.
