Kang Hye-jeong (Old Boy) plays a 27-year-old practicing teacher Hong, who is hit on by the schoolteacher Yu-rim (a startling turn by Park Hae-il, Memories of Murder). Initially, Hong is polite and demure to the point of idiocy against Yu-rim’s lecherous advances, which quickly runs the gamut between workplace sexual harassment to outright date rape. However, the tables are turned in an unexpected way when Yu-rim accidentally runs into Hong’s personal secrets, and when the details of their “love affair” are posted on the school’s internet message board. —koreanfilm.org
