When filmmaker Youngsoo introduces his wealthy gallery owner friend Jaehoon to another friend, the female television writer Soojung, the table is set for a complicated love triangle—a situation that repeatedly fascinates Hong, which at times garners him comparisons to Éric Rohmer. Documenting the resulting emotional tug-of-war with his usual light touch and acuity, Hong’s third film launched Lee Eunju as a star in South Korea and is perhaps the finest cinematic memorial to the departed actress.
