[ENG]


Mr. Oh, a man in his mid-fifties, loses his wife after a four-year battle with cancer and proceeds with the funeral arrangements. An executive at a major cosmetics company, Mr. Oh was an extremely devoted husband who took great care of his sick wife. After the funeral, his home becomes filled with guests, including his subordinates who needed to bring authorization-required documents for Mr. Oh with them. With the upcoming summer collection release, there are many issues to deal with, but fact is, Mr. Oh is distracted by something, or rather someone else who came as a guest, clad in a black formal pants suit to the wake: his female subordinate, Choo Eunjoo, for whom he has had feelings for some time now. Juggling between the tasks of tending to his ailing wife and demanding corporate duties, Mr. Oh occasionally fantasizes about Choo Eunjoo’s body and making love to her. One late night, while he is in a cab, he catches a glimpse of Eunjoo passing by and immediately calls her up to meet, but he ends up failing. Then one day, after the funeral, Mr. Oh’s is slapped with the realization that his wife was aware of his hearts towards Choo Eunjoo... [La Biennale]


*******************

Demanding a performer who can convey a complex range of subtle emotions not with words but through eye contact, facial expressions and the slightest of body movements, the role of Mr. Oh is a challenging one that only someone of Ahn's experience and innate sensitivity could pull off, and he does so magnificently. Speaking through his candid eyes and relaying inner turmoil through imperceptible shrugs and tired slouches, Ahn shines in a role that demands the full range of his abilities... 
[Pierce Conran, Screen Anarchy]
