She can't go back to the life she once had, nobody loves her there. All the right reasons are here for her character to become more real, fantastically handled by Chiu Chiu Chan, Maggie is a character that is at the bottom of the barrel. But then something happens that is obviously unplanned as her abuse at the hands of her torturers spirals out of control. It's done properly, this isn't some goofy film to be taken lightly. If you don't feel for this girl as you watch then you don't have blood pumping through your veins, you're just another machine. We are treated her breakdown and abuse at the hands of those people who she has grown accustom to. In these terms the film is utterly and remarkably hardcore. We've seen this story before, this character who wants such a significant change in her life that she soon discovers that she is in a place that she never wishes she knew. It's the story of an unloved young woman turning to prostitution for something, anything different from her uncaring relationship. Initially, it is realistic and true to life. Through the flashbacks of the only surviving occupants of this apartment of death, we are treated to the whole story as it unfolds. Something so disturbing that you just have to find out what it is and how it happened. Where do I begin with this one? It opens with the crime scene.the location where something horrific and unbelievable has just happened. What were the producers of this mess thinking? Boring crap. Two scenes, in which Miss Chin dances "seductively" for one of the criminals, are totally out of context and ludicrous. The abuse scenes look more like charades than reality and the performances are wildly uneven. The film is a simple exercise in cynical commerce. There is no atmosphere, style or intelligence at work here. What truly capsizes THERE IS A SECRET IN MY SOUP is amateurishness. Told from the perspective of several miscreants who participated in Maggie's demise, it provides for a choppy, uneven experience. LAMB, UNTOLD STORY, etc.) provides a sloppy hook to hang a narrative on. The abuse, ultimately, leads to her demise. When the husband finds out, he begins to subject her to non-stop abuse. Chiu Chiu Chan (Maggie) steals money and a lighter from a girlfriend's husband (a gangster) to pay for her mother's operation. Everything that happens is so random and linear. It's arguable that it never had a screenplay. Supposedly based on a true story, it sabotages any opportunity it may have had with patented cluelessness. Lazy, unfocused, inept film-making from director Yeung Chi Gin.

Rated 5 out of 10 because I'm so conflicted about the movie even though it should probably be lower. I can't recommend it since it is a really ugly movie, but its there if you want to try it, although you'll probably question why you're watching it. Its ghoulish, but it won't allow me to totally dismiss the film even though I really should. What bothers me about the film is that I'm intrigued with it as close representation of what really happened. Granted it gets points for provoking a reaction of horror and disgust, but at the same time it shouldn't be coupled with the question "Why are you watching this then?". On some level I feel that the director's desire to do something with the story clashed with budget concerns and a need to make an exploitive film that would return its cost and so they ended up with a film thats neither socially relevant nor good exploitation.
The only one you really feel for is Maggie, but even then you grow weary waiting for the inevitable. The trouble is that the script is a meandering mess going from unpleasant person to unpleasant situation.We get to see more than we ever wanted about the lives of everyone involved. With in its limited budget its not a bad looking film which adds to the nastiness. Its low budget adds a grittiness to to it. The killers then dispose of the body in the title manner.
It all ends after she steals some money and she's brutalized to the point of death. (This is based on a true story and parts of the woman really were found in the Hello Kitty doll.) What we find out is that the victim was a girl who made a wrong turn and life and the downward spiral lead to prostitution and worse. Told in mostly in flashback this film is about the police investigation into the remains that are found in an apartment, and more to the point a Hello Kitty Mermaid which has been optically censored out of the film because Sanrio was unhappy.
