This is the debut film by Hong Eunwon who is the second female director in Korea. Jinsuk passes the bar exam and becomes a judge for the first time in Korea. She marries the son of the family Chae. However, all in the family get jealous of her high social status except her father-in-law. The film is based on the true story of the first woman judge, Hwang Yoonseok who died mysteriously in 1961 but it draws a different trajectory from what actually happened. Although it comes to an unexpected end, it marks a meaningful point considering the conservative patriarchal society back then. The film has even a sense of duty when Jinsuk says to a woman judge of younger age who complains about the hard work, “We should make efforts together to enhance the women’s social status rather than complaining about the individuals’ temporary hardships and barriers.” [MOON Seok]
