Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
The relationship between a promiscuous textiles professor and an aspiring comic book artist slowly comes into focus in director Lee Ha's scintillating black comedy. Park Seok-gyu (Ji Jin-hee) has arrived at a small rural college to teach illustration. Most of the time it wouldn't take textiles professor Jo Eun-suk (Mun So-ri) more than a day or two to lure such a handsome new teacher into her bed, but there's a strange tension between Park and Jo that soon gets the rumor mill at the college working overtime. As Jo weighs her options with a flashy television producer who wants the sultry teacher to accompany him on an upcoming trip to Japan, it's soon revealed that Jo and Park were once the best of friends, and that the sexually liberated teacher's freewheeling ways once led to tragedy for one of Park's closest friends.
