TWO films surprised me this week: one was a South Korean series and another was a totally unexpected warm production of an old novel. The contexts: I have not developed a fondness for South Korean series, where men are pale and fragile and the women are horrendously harrigans at young age; the other is my taste for old-fashioned storytelling, amid the more ponderous obsession with non-linear narratives, a predisposition that seems to promise a production of art in the garden of mystification.
Where are the men in this tale? Some are so into the obsessions of their wives; some are distant, their toxic masculinity shrouded in silence and gentlemanly nonchalance. As with any modern Cinderella, shaming happens to our poor girl. But instead of two stepsisters and one stepmother, Seo A-ri faces thousands online. But as these other characters all have a past, Seo A-ri discovers them one by one. And the comeuppance happens when one by one the sordid back story to these fashion victims is disclosed in the most sordid manner. We applaud.
