Yoon Jiwoo, who had been plotting a fake suicide with pickpocket Kang Jiwoo, is cuffed by detective Min-yong and falls in love as destined. Jung Ji-woo and Hee-jin hear about their love story and start asking questions. Director Kim Soo-hyun’s latest film, [Ashamed], is a story about three people, all named Ji-woo, that brings a new approach to presenting the sentiment of love through the language and bodies of women. Did they truly fall in love? Did they tell the truth? [Ashamed] travels between reality and fiction as it caresses the wounds and memories of love. While her first film Cute (2004) was a story of a father, a son and the woman between them, [Ashamed] addresses of the pain and reconciliation among a group of women. Kim’s narrative is subtle and very unique in its delivery of familiar emotions into a new kind of experience, proving Kim is a filmmaker that possess a rare sentimentality in Korean cinema.
