I've been intrigued by this movie ever since I saw the trailer last year and finally got to watch it after some months have passed. It did not disappoint at all and exceeded my expectations for it.

The first scenes will hit you like a trainwreck on how close it is to women's daily lives (whether they're raising a family or treading their career) in general. A lot of the main character's problems are those we (women) have encountered one way or the other. The unfairness of what she has to go through is relatable and raw, you'll just end up crying because it's true, or because you've experienced it as well.

Jung Yumi and Gong Yoo's acting in this movie is definitely worth the praise. How they communicated their characters have you convinced they have experienced it themselves, or are currently going through similar troubles in life. Delicate scenes in the movie dealing with heavy emotions were also on point and have you feeling the right connection to their characters. Succinct and crisp dialogues between them make you hooked but sufficiently satisfied because it was the right words for each interaction they had as a couple.

This is definitely a movie you must watch for the sake of being reminded about how heavy we should take gender equality in society. It offers insight into the emotions a wife, a mother, a student, a worker would have during the times they're forced to grow up, and situations they cannot control because of the lack of respect for them in their family and in public.

Pack some tissues while you're at it. You'll need it while watching this.
