Probably Hong’s most exquisitely embarrassing comedy of manners, this puts its hapless protagonist Kyungnam (an arthouse director desperate to make a commercial hit) through two encounters with old friends and their wives just a fortnight apart – encounters which strangely parallel each other, although their outcomes are very different. With summery settings (Jecheon and Jeju Island) and a cast of Hong Sangsoo veterans, it’s a delight.
