"Kim's directorial guideline is in accord with a recognizable day-to-day urban view without much specificity - occasionally warm light shots through and soft-focus pleasantness takes hold, and munificently permits actors to perform for all they are worth. Among which, Jung Yu-mi fully lives up to or even surpasses one's expectation as Ji-young, turbulence flows and ebbs underneath her docile comportment with such exquisite potency. Holding Ji-young's dignity intact, Jung registers chronic sufferance with piercing empathy and devastating impact, her excellence reaches its crashing crescendo during the key sequences with cracking screen partners like Gong Yoo, who voluntarily plays the second banana with beguiling benevolence, and Kim Mi-kyung, who plays Ji-young's hardworking mother and whose outpourings are roundly soul-shattering."

read my full review on my blog: Cinema Omnivore, thanks.

This storyline is really tremendous and its although not the one of the top best of my favourites but it indeed already caught my attention of a well made movie from the director, acting team and well written story. This definitely deserve to be on one of the top movies in Korea between 2019 and 2020. This story also touches the real society in Korea and a lot of advance countries too share the same problems. From my knowledge, a lot of countries are far worse on these problems. Gender discrimination is so huge and either worse than or comparable to racism or religion differences. This movie reminds us man to be more mature and to accept those females challenges. As a male, I admit that I always see that males use sex differences to avoid competition with the females. Males can be jealous, anxious and desperate as the females because we are all humans too.

Some issues here are quite novel for a movie. Not an easy movie to watch but illuminating. She has a beautiful daughter and a nice husband. So why is she depressed? Her career was given up for that. Her mother in law expects her to just cook and look after the baby. Her husband is supportive and so is her mother. She even has a job offer to return to work. But she is depressed. Not terrible life threatening problems but real issues that every woman faces after having a child. Not sure about the conclusion. Wish things had been more definitive.
