    Speak for girls.

    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.

    An optimistic yet realistic story

    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 novel driven movie discuss about how bias can grow among society

    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.

    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....

    Bravo for the actor and actress for a tremendous storyline movie

    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.
