Day 8: a movie that made you sad

This one really hit hard. Gong Yoo and Jung Yu Mi has the best chemistry thanks to their repeating collaboration.
I don’t think I can watch it with my mother….

    This hits too close to home. I don’t think any woman could not relate with it.

      I wish there wasn’t many woman who would be touched by the story. Unfortunately society is shaped in such way that my wish can’t be granted. At least She had a husband who was supporting, understood his fault in the tragic events and tried to help her. South Asian males are still in the dark speaking from what I see around me.

        It was hard to read but it is a must read. Now I just need to find out where to watch this.

          I’m finding where to read it. I don’t enjoy reading but I would love to read this one. I saw the movie on drama c*ol but the subs were bad and I would never recommend anyone to watch there. I understood most of the movie because of what little korean I know through dramas. I could tell that’s not what they’re saying and what exactly are they saying. So I did understand the movie by those subs because the dialogues weren’t that tough to understand but that was still not a great experience.

        I see what you mean I’m from SA too. But when this movie was released in South Korea the audience they found it surprising that even the husband was this supportive. So he was an anomaly there too. The writer probably made the husband a nice (which honestly why am I calling him why when he did rhe bare minimum that everyone should be doing) or supportive because otherwise it would have been a totally negative outlook (since there was so much hate on this sinple book and then movie despite the husband being nice because people thought this feminist piece was wrong and against men, I think the writer chose the safe route by making the male main character unlike the society) which imo IS the life of several women. I think this movie is universal. It isn’t a one size fits all and not everyone would be able to relate with each and everything in the movie, but I’m sure every woman can relate to something or even one thing shown in the movie. It is such a simple movie but it is such a remarkable potrayal of women suffering and sacrifices that you realise that what we do in our day to day lives isn’t ordinary or simple or even normal.

          The simplicity of the movie really conveyed the message. And although the husband’s character doesn’t reflect the majority but I was thankful they showed him like a supportive husband. That ought to poke the men and open their eyes to see the things they do wrongly and the things they should do to repent.
