Director Im Sang-soo is known for regularly mixing politics and sexuality in his films, often controversially, and such is noticeably the case with The Taste of Money. The film details the ongoing tale of an insanely rich Korean family, focusing on company president Yoon (Baek Yoon-sik) and his wife Geum-ok (Yoon Yeo-jeong). When Geum-ok discovers that Yoon has been having an affair with the family’s maid, Eva (Maui Taylor), she decides to force youthful Young-jak into her bed as part of her twisted revenge before embarking on a quest to find a way to make Yoon and Eva pay for their indiscretions, once and for all.
