Program Note
Because she gets no love from her indifferent parents, high school student Sunhee craves popularity at school. When assigned to sit behind Jungmee, she lies to become friends with her. She must keep up the lie to keep up appearances, until they all backfire, and Sunhee is ostracized. Angry at being caught in her lies, Sunhee frames Jungmee to make it look like she is a thief, and Jungmee ends up killing herself. After witnessing her suicide, Sunhee runs away, and ends up living in an orphanage far away from Seoul and begins a new life as “Seulki.” Everyone knows that lies are bad. But we still lie for one reason or another. It is important that we understand those reasons. In this case, Sunhee becomes Seulki because of lies. They weren’t ill intentioned. She only wanted to become popular. But they still ended in the worst possible way. Now she tries to live a new life to make up for her mistakes. Will Sunhee be able to live well as Seulki? (Nam Dong-chul)
