Cast:

Kim Sangkyung, Uhm Jiwon, Lee Giwu

On the rebound from their failed romance, Sangwoon and Youngshil meet by chance and give it another go. The story climaxes with their abortive attempt at a double-suicide. Whereupon Tongsu (Kim Sangkyung) leaves the cinema and notices that the actress who played Youngshil was also in the audience. He picks her up, but their developing relationship uncannily echoes the movie she starred in…A narrative hall of mirrors, Hong’s film takes male vanity and immaturity to pieces.
