Plot
At the end of the Japanese rule, Jeom-Rye, a daughter of a poor farmer, bares a son of a Japanese policeman Yamada, but she gets married to Park Hang-Koo and lives a happy life with their daughter, Se-Yeon, after Yamada and his son run away after Liberation of Korea.
Sinekatalog’s take
A poor farmer's daughter bears the child of a Japanese policeman, then marries a Korean man and builds a happy life, until the past returns after Liberation. A Korean melodrama of colonial scars and identity, directed by Kim Soo-yong.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
