Plot
Seo-hyun is an ordinary housewife in her late thirties with a ten-year-old son and a successful architect husband. For her, life is a series of banal routines.
Sinekatalog’s take
A housewife whose life is a series of routines begins a love affair that disrupts her calm. E J-yong portrays desire and boredom with restraint and psychological nuance. A mature, quietly sensual Korean drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
