Gender discrimination happen every where but it is very serious in Asia because of last time ancestors stupidity teaching.

'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.

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.

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.

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?
