The movie was beautiful. although it was a bit slow-paced, there were a lot of touching moments. throughout the movie you'll find yourself rooting for kim ji-young as she struggles to find herself in the midst of criticisms from her mother in-law. the movie was hopeful, but also had a realistic ending. as a woman myself, i felt very inspired after watching this.

A realistic movie drawing attention to full time mothers' psychological and lifestyle changes after getting married and giving birth in Asian countries. A touching story with great actors, worth watching.

It is said that after the publication of the novel and the release of the film, the majority of south Korean men still launched an endless online abuse and boycott, so it is conceivable that in Asia, the status of women is so low that even though some people have awakened, most people still feel accustomed to it.Women's rights are not just a "METOO" movement. They are needed in every aspect of society, from the home to the workplace.I hope everyone, women can speak for themselves, and men can speak for women, as a talk show host urged on the program: if you keep silent and think it's not your business, then you are an accomplice.

This storyline is really tremendous and its although not the one of the top best of my favourites but it indeed already caught my attention of a well made movie from the director, acting team and well written story. This definitely deserve to be on one of the top movies in Korea between 2019 and 2020. This story also touches the real society in Korea and a lot of advance countries too share the same problems. From my knowledge, a lot of countries are far worse on these problems. Gender discrimination is so huge and either worse than or comparable to racism or religion differences. This movie reminds us man to be more mature and to accept those females challenges. As a male, I admit that I always see that males use sex differences to avoid competition with the females. Males can be jealous, anxious and desperate as the females because we are all humans too.

Some issues here are quite novel for a movie. Not an easy movie to watch but illuminating. She has a beautiful daughter and a nice husband. So why is she depressed? Her career was given up for that. Her mother in law expects her to just cook and look after the baby. Her husband is supportive and so is her mother. She even has a job offer to return to work. But she is depressed. Not terrible life threatening problems but real issues that every woman faces after having a child. Not sure about the conclusion. Wish things had been more definitive.

I like this movie. Cinematic wise, it was awesome. Beautifully captured. Story wise, this was one hidden-gem just like The Parasite Movie (another must-watch Korean Movie).

I think the story depicted on how 'woman' perceived in the Korean society/ Asian culture. It highlights several social issues for woman (career, dream, self-dependent, social/peer pressure, social expectation of 'what a good wife/good woman should be/act) by presenting us the life of Kim Ji-Young, young wife lived with her little daughter and husband.

Throughout the story,the characters in it overcame the issues in quite realistic way that maybe some of us can relate to our actual life. After watching it, I feel empowered and satisfied.

Kim Ji-Young, Born 1982 highlights the impact of the pressures of motherhood in South Korea and takes a slight fantasy route in terms of Kim Ji-Young's "possession". The story may not offer an alternative to the immense pressure of becoming a mother in South Korea, but it undoubtedly has created a call to action to its audiences, both of the book and the movie. The emotions the story stirs surrounding the suffocating family dynamics, evokes a motive to offer support to their own mothers, daughters, and sisters. Kim Ji-young being described as crazy by her relatives and strangers is just one more aspect to the disregard of offering aid to clearly struggling mothers. To any audience member who may have seen these situations play out in their own life, it hopefully seals the desire to reach out to any quietly suffering women they know. The film has talented actors who portray the characters very life-like in an intensely emotional story. The color grading and cinematography are beautifully done and connect to each scenes' intensity and depth. It may be recommended to read a bit of a description of the plot because the "possession" aspect wasn't made entirely clear without a bit of background. Leaving the psychological turmoil Ji-Young suffers in the film in this more abstracted way pulls the story into the broader topic surrounding mothers' mental health in a modern society so full of "traditional" expectations. 7/10.

This novel cause anger which most of the people try to stop the movie showing and curses the actress because of ego pride. It's contain the real life of what woman is facing who the man refusing to admit or don't talk about it. Gender discrimination happen every where but it is very serious in Asia because of last time ancestors stupidity teaching. It's hidden message contain about gender equality is everywhere if u observe well. Great performance by all the actors especially the mother acting is touching when....

It is true that the pace of the movie is slow with the very very light topic. However it is really happening arround us. The gender discrimination, pressure from parents, family and family in law versus our needs, dreams and today's life. As light as the topic, this kind of issue rarely being disccuss on public, then the person who have the problem need to find out by them self without support from the inner circle or the worse they don't even know it :(

Every single of us having our own trouble, and there's no one else can stepping our shoes tho? Then why spending energy go hurt others?

I love GONG YOO, I SEE WHY THEY PUT HIM IN DRAMAS BECAUSE HE'S REALLY GOOD HE'S BETTER AT COMEDY AND ACTION MOVIES THOUGH AND I LOVE THE OTHER CHARACTERS ACTRESSES AND ACTORS AS WELL THE MOVIE WAS TOO SLOW AND NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION OF WHY SHE HAD HER MENTAL BREAKDOWN OTHER THAN BEING A MOM AND WE ALL RELATE TO THAT I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN I GAVE IT TO STARS BECAUSE OF THE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES NOT BECAUSE OF THE STORYLINE IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LITTLE BIT BETTER IN MY OPINION. I LIKE WRITING STORIES AND I WOULD HAVE DONE THIS A LITTLE BIT LONGER EXPLAINED WHAT SHE WAS GOING THROUGH FIRST AND GAVE GONG YOOO CHARACTER A LITTLE BIT MORE CHARACTER, IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE, HE SEEMED KIND OF LACKLUSTER AND A MAMA'S BOY WHICH DON'T SUIT HIM EVEN AS AN ACTOR THIS ROLE WAS NOT FOR HIM.

The movie itself had widely discussed in Korea. And yet even in other Asian countries may sense similar feelings as most agricultural economy driven countries treat differently boys to girls. Even raised as kids, we sense the difference. Moms never come to dinning board and always buried in preparation of breakfast, lunch, dinner and tones of dishes. The movie generate discussion around women's right and how bias grown among society. Even today, our elder generation may still press by their old thoughts against young ones. Not only work, raising kids, mental health will you find in the movie but also how those small events trigger deep sorrow and emptiness in a mom. Worth watching and discuss how to treat people around differently without unconscious bias.

'Kim Ji-Young, Born 1982' is based on a fiction novel by Cho Nam-joo that was published in October 2016. Cho only took two months to write the novel as the character's life relates to her own life. She mentioned that "Kim Ji-young's life isn't much different from the one I have lived. That's why I was able to write so quickly without much preparation."

The novel is a critique of the patriarchal system that is still very much alive in South Korea's women's lives that depicts what happens from childhood to adulthood (after marriage). The lead actor (Gong Yoo) and actress (Jung Yu-mi) were brilliant in the film. Even from the opening scene, we can already sense the tension in this film. This film would like to also show how being a stay-at-home mother is never an easy feat. Everyone will have a desire to accomplish things outside private life, however, this is easier for men than it is for women. A secret that is often kept secret is the fact that most women go through depression while trying to be a good mother. This film explored that taboo subject.

As someone who was deeply moved by the novel, I found the film both touching and a little disappointing. One of the main differences lies in the ending: while the film wraps up on a relatively hopeful, even healing note, the novel ends with unresolved tension-reflecting the weight of reality that many women continue to carry. The book doesn't insist that every Kim Ji-young must overcome her struggles. In that sense, it feels more considerate and empathetic toward those who are still in the midst of their battles. The film, on the other hand, puts a period at the end of Ji-young's story, which can feel overly neat. Not everyone gets to heal the way she does in the movie.

That said, the film is still a quietly compelling piece. The most moving part for me was the story of Ji-young's mother-how she gave up her own dreams after marriage and childbirth, and how deeply she wanted her daughter to live differently, to have choices she never had. It was painfully real and emotionally resonant.

This isn't just the story of someone born in 1982. It's also the story of those born in 1972, 1962, or even 1952-of women who lived constrained by social expectations and never got to pursue the lives they dreamed of. In a broader sense, the film offers comfort to anyone who's ever been boxed in by rigid norms.

Jung Yu-mi delivers a beautifully restrained performance, capturing Ji-young's complex inner world with quiet power. It's a film that doesn't shout, but it lingers. And that, in itself, is its strength.

Just fall in love with this movie. I really like gong yoo role here, eventho Im not married but I wish I can be like gong yoo character in the future. Bestttt

This was such a wholesome and meaningful movie. I loved how this movie covered topics like gender roles, gender inequality, and things that women struggle with in our current society. This film was able to cover all those topics accurately, but not in an aggressive way. The acting was phenomenal too, I cried so much in one of the scenes because the acting made the scene much more realistic and believable. I loved the wholesome moments as well as it reminded me of family and friendships. More films like this would be great to spread awareness one situations like this, just like how this movie so perfectly did.

I felt that the film adaptation strayed away from the main storyline of the book a lot. The book told a chronological story of Kim Jiyoung's upbringing and the events that defined her present-day character - from her family dynamics and childhood experiences to early encounters with misogyny and sexism throughout middle school and high school. The film, however, only incorporated these aspects as momentary flashback scenes. Each flashback scene felt like it was placed to supplement the existing plot, but in the book those moments were essential parts of Kim Jiyoung's character-building. I wish the film had followed the same structure as the book in this sense. The film focused more on the effect of societal gender pressures on her current life, particularly after childbirth. Because of this positionality, I think the film framed misogyny and gender-based discrimination as a direct impact of childbirth and childrearing. That takes away from the systemic issues that the book really tries to highlight. The film also drew more attention to Kim Jiyoung's husband's personal struggles rather than Kim Jiyoung's own mental state unraveling. I was not expecting him to be such an important character in the film. I think the film was directed in a way that presented Kim Jiyoung's sickness as a larger burden on his life than it actually was to her own well-being. He took on many self-inflicted responsibilities and expectations that only reinforced the patriarchal societal structure, the idea that a woman needs to be taken care of by her husband or by a man. The husband does have a relatively respectful nature compared to most of the other men, like her coworkers.
