The only people who know about his condition are his mother (played by Suk Mun) and best friend Sang-beck. Woo-jin copes with it and doesn't think he could have a steady girlfriend until he meets E-soo (played by Hyo-ju Han).
The other fascinating thing about this film is that Woo-jin supports himself by designing and building custom furniture. Doing business online means he doesn't have to be seen and that's very important for someone who looks different every day.
This film was a surprise sleeper hit at Cannes! I don't want to spoil the plot for anyone so I won't say much more about it. One thing for sure: I will never look at wood or furniture the same way again.
It's funny, sad, romantic and a little kinky too! A good chick-flick or film to watch with a sweetie. Valentine's Day is coming soon...if you want to watch a different kind of romantic film this could be a good choice.
The truth is that even in a so-called normal relationship, people often change. But if you love the person inside, then what they look like doesn't really matter.
The director of this film is Jong-Yeol Baek and I imagine that it was very challenging casting all the different actors to play the different versions of Woo-jin. BTW, Mi-do Lee plays Eun-soo and I found her to be quite a comedic actor too!
