Happy End (1999 film)

Happy End is a South Korean film released in 1999. Written and directed by Jung Jiwoo, its about a woman whos having an affair while her husband is unemployed.

Seo has been emasculated by his inability to find a job and director Jung hammers this point home with a brief montage showing Seo grocery shopping, cooking, and doing the laundry. These are all very feminine jobs, particularly in very patriarchal South Korea. Most interesting is that Seo seems content to live with the cheating Bora, very much aware of his own shortcomings, which leaves him willing to be wronged.Bora is unable to stop going back to Kim even though she seems physically and emotionally damaged by their continued affair. Kim has realized that he is hooked on her, and is very aware of his jealouslydriven actions toward her and her family. Without each other, they have no passion in their lives, and so they must keep going back to each other. ........
