Kim Ji-young: Born 1982

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.

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.

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.

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.
