Their Frame of Mind, Understandable
keymanh26 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
He, Jaesup(Taewoo Kim), about 30, doesn't like to associate with people, shutting himself up in the dreadful shell of his little world of psychological confinement. He bitterly turns his face off, or rather ignores any invitation to any social meeting, gathering, or to any party whatsoever. The only person he regularly visits with is a 'working girl' at a whore house. He feels peaceful with her. There are no fakes, lies, pretenses between the two. Is he a queer? No. He may be a deviant in a sense, but never a pervert, nor weirdo, nor degenerate.

He teaches at a private school, a cramming school for high school students after their regular school hours. He is very good and proficient at that.

Sohee(Minjung Kim) is a high school girl, cute and pretty,. She attends Taewoo's lecture after school. She, somehow, happens to find him living in a similar world of hers. Gloomy and dreary daily routine, in a world full of cheat, sham, and phony. She have been meeting a middle-aged man as a way of escape from the stress coming from her mother's endless preaches at home. But now, she declares an end to this dirty bastard and befriends Taewoo. The two meet almost every evening after his lecture at a bus stop and feel so comfortable with each other, in a very a 'decent' way. But, alas, what does their future hold in store?

There are no hustle-bustle activities involved in this film, but busy flow of their psychological conflict would stimulate viewers curiosity in an interesting way.
