(Directed by Yoon Jae-ju – South Korean remake of the 1960 Billy Wilder classic) TL;DR A sleek, modern take on the workplace‑romance‑comedy formula. The film retains the original’s bittersweet charm while injecting a distinctly Korean 1990s office culture vibe. Strong performances from the leads, a stylish visual palette, and a thoughtful commentary on ambition and loneliness make it a worthwhile watch—though the pacing can feel a bit uneven in the middle. 1. Plot Overview (Spoiler‑Free) Jung‑soo (Lee Byung‑hun) is a low‑level assistant at a fast‑growing advertising agency in Seoul. To climb the corporate ladder, he volunteers his modest studio‑apartment for the company’s charismatic, yet morally ambiguous, senior executive, Mr. Han (Choi Min‑sik), to entertain his extramarital affairs.
