Lee Sun kyun is questioned by the Audit team. His sub -ordinates looking bewildered as his stuff gets collected in boxes & carried away. His boss , Park Dong un, helps him & he is reinstated.
Why didn’t he find an ally in real life? Did he end his life or was it forced? If he did so well on screen, he should ‘ve stood up to all the accusations!
Pitying the new temporary worker is natural. In the cold she is wearing only ankle length socks! Her battered shoes tell the story. She stands up & pushes herself against all odds. A real fighter. IU has had it very tough reaching the top! A real fighter.
Lee Ji ah as Kang Yoon hee, a lawyer by profession. She passed her exam after her marriage to Mr Park & child birth. Mr Park’s wife is enamored by his boss. As Do Joon -young , Kim Young min looks every inch the charmer. Park ‘s junior at the University but his boss in the company.
The three brothers have an unusual bond. Their mother is often worried about them. In their 50s, they are yet in their mother’s house quite often. Elder brother Park Sang hoon, is staying with his mother. His wife wants divorce. But he is not ready.
Second brother Park Dong hoon, is having it tough at his company. But wants to hold on to his job. His wife wants him to leave the job. She is ready for assisting him to open a business.
Third brother, Park Ki hoon, wanted to be a successful director but failed at it. He is unmarried. Recently, an actress Choi Yoo na is seen taking an interest in him. She is happy that he did not succeed! The two brothers have taken up the cleaning business from their good friend, Je cheol.
The brothers being curious about the dark glasses wearing girl, a Temp at the company. How men talk, especially those who have never had a good experience. The woman in their life all important is their mother!
Son sook as Lee Ji an’s grandmother is deaf & cannot speak. She uses sign language. From the night when Mr Park helped carry her grandmother, Lee Ji an’s opinion changed. She is following his every move.
She must have heard him saying, You are nice!’ hundreds of times. At the age of 21, she has never heard a man say ‘Thank you’ or being nice to her. So sad. Men in her life have been abusers or money lenders.
When she kicks him to wake him up from his stupor. Later he says , ‘Only slaves were treated like this.’ In the metro, she did not know how to make him get up & alight from the train! Grooming is what comes naturally with a family, she lacks the basic manners. But then survival of the fittest, is the jungle Raj.
On the bridge looking at River Han, she assumed he may jump in. She runs & finds he is safe. Earlier when he drops to the ground in the snow & wishes he was dead, she ran to see him pick up himself.
When he goes through the call history & knows about his wife’s affair, he actually watches her making a call. The lady is scary! Her husband is sitting in front of her having tae, no just watching when she rushes to the public booth & makes a call. He goes up to it & dials. Mr Do answers.
Amidst it all, she has the guts to join Mr Do at a bonfire! And lie to her husband , it was a barbecue.
His defeat is seen in his eyes, his stooping shoulders & the way he walks! He doesn’t shout or scream . It is just sinking in. He traces it back to the Spring. The gradual change that occurred. He also watches them entering a hotel. One car after the other.
Reminded me of ‘Misty’ but this is more real. It ceases to be a drama. It is an experience.
