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.
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.

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 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?

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.
