Woman Is the Future of Man Movie Review 2004

While meeting for lunch, two old Korean friends Mun-ho (Ji-tae) and Hyeon-gon (Tae-woo) reminisce over too much rice wine about a girl they both dated years before, Seon-hwa (Hyeon-a), and how each regrets mistreating her. Even though the men have moved on with their lives--Mun-ho is a married college art lecturer while Hyeon-gon is a hopeful filmmaker--they decide to visit Seon-hwa but find that life has not gone quite as well for her. In Korean, with English subtitles.
