Program Note
This is a film that questions the moral issues of the day through a college student’s love story and is every bit as ominous as Anna Karenina. Yu Jiin, who also played Myung-hee in the next year’s Good Windy Day, plays Jang-mi, both typical rich and carefree city women. Jang-mi is attending college in Seoul, living alone and enjoying life. She has a boyfriend back home in Busan, but no longer wants him after meeting a middle-aged man who is in hiding after his business failed and she falls in love. He worries about public perception; she does not. (NAM Dong-chul)
