Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
A rare Korean romance centered on disability without inspiration porn — Josée's wheelchair is simply her body, not her tragedy.
The original Japanese film 'Josee, the Tiger and the Fish' (2003) was more whimsical; this version strips away the fantasy to leave only the grief.
