Architect Jin Woo gets into a freak car accident on the way to Chuncheon & goes into coma. His wife, Soo Kyung, rushes to the hospital. She finds that he wasn’t on his way for work as he told her.

She goes through his call history & rings up. A woman answers. They decide to meet up. She is enraged that her husband had an affair. She goes to Chuncheon to discover the truth& ends up returning home with Cho Rok.

What was her husband up to ? Is Cho Rok his son??

I remember ‘Masoom’ ( translated. The Innocent ) 1983 a Hindi language Indian film. With the arrival of a son, Rahul, Devendra Kumar’s family is disrupted. He has two daughters. Upon the death of his mother, his guardian Masterji, brings him to Devendra in Delhi. Indu can’t bear to look at him, a tangible reminder of DK’s betrayal.

Directed by Shekhar Kapur. Screen play, dialogues & lyrics by Gulzar. Music by RD Burman. Starring Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi, Supriya Pathak, Jugal Hansraj. A master piece.

It is an adaptation of 1980 Erich Segal’s novel ‘Man, Woman & Child’ Which was made into a Malayalam movie & an American movie.

Jo Eun Sook as the wife. ‘The Innocent Man’, ‘Love on a Rooftop’, ‘Cinderella & The four Knights’, ‘Young Lady & Gentleman’.

Jeon Jin Seo as Cho Rok. Seen in ‘The Heirs’ as Kim Tan (child ), ‘My Love from the Star’, ‘Cinderella & the Four Knights’, ‘The Legend of the Blue Sea’, ‘My Sassy Girl’, ‘Mr Sunshine’, ‘Moment at Eighteen’, ‘The Tale of Nokdu’, ‘The World of the Married’ their son.

When the boy says ‘It is nice to have someone waiting with an umbrella when it rains’. I don’t like to walk in the rain alone ! It says everything.

Beautiful drama. Loved how it turned out in the end.
