My reason for watching this movie can be summarized by a name... Lee Byung Hun... and I tell you, I'm not sure if it was worth it. Believe it or not, the story lacked originality, it wasn't anything I hadn't seen before. To quote 'About Adam', "He came. He saw. He conquered. One sister at a time", it sums up this movie to a T. The player played and he (well, you'll have to watch the movie to know what happens from there). I must admit, I was fairly set on dropping this movie after the first 40 minutes because of the poor acting. I only held on to see how everything would be resolved. I was unable to connect with any of the leading ladies... I didn't believe their characters nor did I care for them. Lee Byung Hun was convincing in his role, I believed his character and I understood him but this certainly wasn't his best work. As for the music, the live shows from character Mi Young were respectable, that girl has a nice singing voice. Honestly, I wouldn't watch this movie again. Naturally, as the title suggests, the movie teaches the audience about what secrets can bring people... I simply don't agree with the stance the movie takes (the lesson is given at the end through a voice over of Lee Byung Hun. 'Everybody Has Secrets' isn't necessarily a bad movie, it's the kind of movie you'd watch if you have nothing else to do... or you just want to see a half-naked Byung Hun but if that's what you're after, go for 'Addicted' or even 'GI Joe: Retaliation', they have better stories.
