I did not really know what to expect. It was like she was stuck in a creepy nightmare.

Ji-Won´s father leaves her mother. Her mother is really sad. Then later on she brings home a white boyfriend. He just turns out to be creepy. While Ji-won after having eaten a fish eye starts looking at his eyes and thinking yum. I told you it was surreal.

She goes to College. She wants her mum away from this guy. She makes two new friends. And she dreams about eating eyes. Yum yum yum.

And trust me, she will get those eyes. Anyone´s eyes.

I think I liked the end part the best cos the nightmare sort of ended, but there was also a twist.

Ji-won's life is in disarray. Her father's affair has ripped the family to shreds, leaving her to piece their crappy lives back together.

Then her mother's new white boyfriend enters the scene, bragging about his knowledge of Korean culture. As he swaggers around their claustrophobic apartment ogling her teenage sister, Ji-won's grip on reality begins to slip.

She finds herself growing obsessed with his brilliant blue eyeballs, resolving to do the one thing that will save her family - and curb her cravings...
