Storyline

Based on the novel of the same name, the film directly addresses gender inequality in Korean families and society. Kim Ji-young (played by Jung Yu-mi) has always lived according to the female roles prescribed by society: a 'good daughter' expected by her patriarchal parents, a submissive and enduring 'good woman' in the workplace, and a family-oriented 'good wife'. Until one day, as if possessed, she speaks and acts like her own mother. Her husband (played by Gong Yoo) decides to take her to counseling, and together they face the pain of her life. The novel has been controversial since its publication, and even during the film adaptation, there were nationwide petitions against it. This 'unspeakable' story was still brought to the screen despite social pressure, and it is worth attention.
