Excellent acting face-off, both Gong Hyo Jin and Uhm Ji Won were up to the task, portraying desperate mothers that would do anything for their children.
I think the strong point of this movie is not the suspense (even though skillfully built by the director), but the characterization. Especially Han Mae's character development is impressive, her story slowly pushes you into a corner and it chokes you... at least that's how I felt.
The story may seem cliche at first sight (nanny kidnaps baby), but in reality it touches many important real life issues such as divorce aftermath, single motherhood challenges, working mothers'pressure, immigrants' lack of rights and discrimination, prostitution and organ trafficking, legal system flaws and so on... So do not discard this as yet another recycled old stories. No way how you look at it, it's not a dime a dozen flick. Watch it if you like good acting, directing, character development and plots with a message.
8.5/10

It wasn't released. It is not a Korean movie, it is co-production with China. Maybe the Chinese investors put in more money and they get to call the shots... not sure why they kept postponing even the release in Korea, but they've been doing that since the end of 2015... plus both leads are not exactly popular nowadays, so I guess that didn't help either...
Christy Lam is a typical city girl born and raised in Hong Kong. She is a month from turning 30, and has just begun to cope with the same struggles shared by most girls of the same age: the almost unbearable stress at work, her aging but annoying parents, and her seemingly stable yet stagnant relationship. All of these only add to her fear for this next chapter of her life. Wong Tin-Lok, on the other hand, is also turning 30 soon, but leads a vastly different life. She has never been in love, and her job is taking her nowhere. And yet, she has always kept an optimistic attitude towards life. On the verge of her next chapter, she makes a bold decision to just pick up her bags and fulfill her childhood dream. They have never met each other, and their personalities are night and day. But as fate would have it, Christy makes a temporary move into Wong's apartment. Through exploring Wong's diary, Christy not only discovers that they share the same birthday, but also learns about the bits and pieces of Wong's life. As their virtual bond grows, Christy begins to appreciate Wong's alternate approach to life, so much so that it becomes an integral part of Christy's own. Who has entered whose world?

EDIT:
She also had a plagiarism scandal while in China, so maybe they just blacklisted her:
