Im Sang-soo's drama finds a lowly secretary trapped in the vice of his employer's subterfuge. The head of a wealthy family is caught having an affair, on CCTV, by his wife. She demands that Kang-woo Kim's manservant have sex with her whilst also keeping an eye on her husband. Loosely linked to the director's previous film, The Housemaid, The Taste of Money is an engrossing journey into the corrupting world of excessive wealth and power.
