In ‘The Taste of Money’, Youn Yuh-jung plays Baek Geum-ok, the matriarch of an affluent family in Seoul. When she finds out that her husband is having an affair with their Filipina maid, played by Maui Taylor, Geum-ok sets up a plan to kill her.
Don’t believe us? Well this movie clip released on YouTube shows a scene of Yuh-jung choking and threatening Maui’s character.
The movie seems to be true to its erotic premise with a scene of Youn Yuh-jung’s character seduces her daughter’s suitor.
