Program Note
After meeting Jinhyeok once while having drinks, Gayeong visits him under the pretense of doing data research for her scenario. While asking him perfunctory questions, she discovers that he has a girlfriend, but Gayeong pays no mind. She asks him a series of hardcore questions about masturbation, and his first sexual encounter, and throws out a question showing her true feelings: “It would be impossible to sleep with you, right?” Jinhyeok does not answer, and Gayeong continues where they left off. Will she succeed in winning him over? As in her debut film Bitch on the Beach , director Jeong Gayoung plays the spunky and aggressive leading role herself. The man is thrown off, but the woman continues to be all over him. Their conversation lasts a long time, but filmic tension is maintained by something hard to see in other films: the characters conduct a candid conversation about sexual tastes and experiences, the two actors’ natural performances, and so on. Unlike in typical romantic comedies, her strong personality is clearly imprinted. (NAM Dong-chul)
