Plot

Seo-hyun is an ordinary housewife in her late thirties with a ten-year-old son and a successful architect husband. For Seo-hyun, life is a series of banal routines, but she is well provided with upper class comforts. Her sheltered life is suddenly threatened with the appearance of U-in, her much younger sister's attractive new fiancé. U-in approaches Seo-hyun and attraction evolves into a passionate affair. Seo-hyun is aware that falling for the younger man will destroy her and her family, but she cannot help herself and the new feelings that are stirring within...

gollark: That doesn't make it a good idea.
gollark: And after the panic-buying began there was, well, not much food available, so it made (makes?) *some* sense to buy some when it is.
gollark: There was a possibility (probably still is, and I imagine it's happened some places) of supply chains failing to get food to sale fast enough.
gollark: I don't think it's stupidity as much as possibly excessive self-interest causing panic buying.
gollark: Probably also to keep children away from parents, now.
