Kim plays the role of a housewife who has spent 25 years in prison after being accused of killing her husband at their home while her son went missing and returned home.

"I had no second thoughts at all. I was all for it. I had never had such a script in my 20-year career. It was so captivating", Kim told the Chosun Ilbo on Thursday. "I watched the final edited version for the first time yesterday. First of all the running time is not too long to bore viewers, and it keeps them drawn in until the end". 

"I'm not very fond of violent slasher movies. I love films that constantly stimulate your imagination. They give me great pleasure", Kim added. "And this is the very kind of movie".

Kim has been spending more of her time for the past 13 years in Hollywood than in Korea, but she has only appeared in two TV series there -- "Lost" and "Mistresses". Although they were successful and she made her name known, she said she has felt anxious wanting to do more projects.

"It is only natural that I feel anxious, because 13 years isn't short. I just will be happy if I can serve as encouragement for actors who wish to venture into Hollywood. They can certainly do it, if I can".

Kim said she is very interested in doing a TV series as well in Korea.

"I'd love to if I get a chance, but I don't want to be working under intense time pressure", she said. "The most important thing to me is the quality of work into which I can put sufficient time and energy".
