Kim Hyo Jung (Eugene) was a home shopping host before she got fired and replaced by a beauty pageant winner. Then she meets her old friend named Seon Hwa (Lee Young Jin) that looks totally different like she used to be. Later, Seon Hwa tells Hyo Jung to take yoga class if she wants to be more confident and successful like her. Hyo Jung decides to go to that yoga institute which ran by an actress of the past, Kahn Mi Hee (Lee Hye Sang).

There are four other women that take the yoga class, which are Sung Yeon Joo (Park Han Byeol), So In Soon (Jo Eun Ji), Yoo Kyeong (Kim Hye Na), Lee Bora (Hwang Seung Eon) (each of them has different problems with their lives). They are welcomed by a mysterious yoga master, Nani (Cha Su Yeon). The yoga master explains that they must follow 5 rules during the training.
1. They are not allowed to do any contact with outside world.
2. They are not allowed to eat beside the meal time that already determined. 
3. They are not allowed to take shower within 1 hour after training.
4. They are not allowed to see their reflection at mirror.
5. They are not allowed to tell about the program with people outside the institute.

Nani also tells them that there's only one who can enjoy the result and meet the actress. It  makes them more competitive. In the third day of training, strange things start to happen. Yoo Kyeong decides to takes shower after taking class and In Soon starts to look for foods. When In Soon goes to the dining room, suddenly there are many foods at the table. She eats those foods. Bad thing happens to Yoo Kyeong in the shower room. The light turns off, blood flows all over the floor and she falls with wound on her neck. In the fourth day of training, the training goes harder. They also start to fight to be the best one. Yeon Joo and Bora can't help themselves on looking at mirror. They ended up being dragged with unknown thing. 2 women remain.

Fifth day of training, In Soon sees herself eating her own hamster pet at the dining room (totally disgusting scene because of those maggots!). She gets bloody blisters all over her body (another disgusting scene!). Sixth day of training, everybody's gone except Hyo Jung. In the end, she's the one who survive and able to meet the actress to know the real secret of beauty and youth. Then she realizes that her soul stucks on the yoga institute forever (I hate this kind of ending -_-").

Comment:
1. I don't see enough correlation between the yoga training and how Hyo Jung's boyfriend (Choi Daniel) tries to unveil past story about Kahn Mi Hee. It's not well explained on the movie. That's why I don't include that story in my synopsis above.
2. I'm such a scaredy cat! I get scared easily, but this movie doesn't scared me at all. You might feel the tense in several scenes, but definitely no fright. Honestly, I got disappointed.
