Plot:
Widow Hyun Joo (Kim Hye Su) is worn down by her monotonous life dealing with her grumpy teen daughter Sang Ah (Ji Woo) and piling debt. To help pay the bills, she rents out the second floor of her home to Chang In (Han Suk Kyu), who claims to be a writer but clearly has other reasons for moving in. Hyun Joo and Sang Ah are too engrossed with their own problems at first to notice Chang In snooping around the house, but a grand battle of wits unfolds as his motives slowly come to light.
A stylish, offbeat mix of romance, comedy, and crime suspense, Villain and Widow from director Son Jae Gon (My Scary Girl) spins an unusual yarn about a landlord with many emotional issues and a tenant with ulterior motives. Han Suk Kyu (White Night) is the picture of sinewy suave as the master criminal who finds himself being outwitted by an unwitting family, while Kim Hye Su (Tazza: The High Rollers) puts both her seductive and comedic talents to good use. Villain and Widow also co-stars newcomer Ji Woo, Lee Jang Woo (Smile Again), Uhm Ki Joon (Dream High), and teen idol Dong Ho from U-Kiss in his movie debut.
