Synopsis

When he receives news that his wife has been in a car accident and is lying in hospital, seriously ill in a coma, concert lighting engineer In-su (Bae Yong-joon) comes to the sickening realisation that she was having an affair with the man who was the passenger in the car with her. Difficult as this revelation is to deal with, it is made all the more awkward by the proximity of the other man, also badly injured and in a coma at the same hospital. The man’s wife, Seo-young (Son Yae-jin), at her husband’s bedside, also has to come to terms with the situation. Drawn together by their shared circumstances, In-su and Seo-young become close and have an affair together, seeking solace and perhaps revenge on their unfaithful partners. —Thedigitalfix.co.uk
