I Wish I Had a Wife

Directed by He Park Heungsik

A romantic comedy centred on the love life of a lonely bank manager. Bongsoo is determined to expand his romantic horizons but remains oblivious to the attentions of teacher Wonju. It takes the chance study of the bank’s surveillance tapes to open Bongsoo’s eyes. Minutely observed moments build a poetic picture of both the isolation and the myriad of possibilities of modern urban life.
