When filmmaker Young-soo introduces writer Soo-jung to his friend Jae-hoon, he unintentionally creates a love triangle. While Jae-hoon pursues Soo-jung, Young-soo clashes with his crew. Yet, just as the story appears to end, it starts all over again, this time with plenty of variations.

Writing

Acting
Lee Eun-ju's subtle shifts between versions — same lines, completely different meanings.
Director
Hong Sang-soo
