Based off the controversial autobiographical novel of the same name, “Kim Ji-Young, Born 1982” is a heart-wrenching uncovering of what it means to be a woman in a conservative patriarchal society. The movie stars veteran actors Gong Yoo Dae Hyun and Jung Yu-Mi Kim Ji-Young as leads, who have formerly worked together on the award-winning film “Train to Busan”. Following the protagonist Kim Ji-Young in the 80’s, the general storyline revolves around her troubled mental health that causes her to have lapses where she speaks as if she were her deceased grandmother or friend. Given the fame the feminist novel has garnered before the release of this film, it is expected that what matters more is not the storyline, but how the details of the story are presented through the female lens. With a focus on mother figures, the film’s narration forces us to critically examine stereotypical notions of a woman’s duties in the domestic sphere by highlighting its occurrence in daily life. For instance, we constantly see a favouritism towards men displayed by both male and female characters, especially from Dae Hyun’s mother who expects Ji-Young to work tirelessly throughout dinner preparations while her son sits idly. It is likely that many will identify with or have seen similar experiences, making the film’s impact all the more significant without having to explicitly state sexist tendencies of a conservative society. Aside from highlighting prominence of sexism in the everyday, the movie also expertly portrays how society’s patriarchy has progressed through the years. Through interactions between three generations of characters, we get to understand the motivations behind their actions, and the grievances as a result of sexist ideas. The use of Ji-Young’s condition to provide a voice for oppressed women was a well-done narration that gives greater insight into the conservative Korean society. What the film does particularly well is their use of male characters — while it is undeniable that Dae Hyun and Ji-Young’s father care for Ji-Young greatly, they are still susceptible to sexist tendencies that they may not have even been conscious of. This brings into focus that inequality may not always be born from hatred, but from the lack of awareness. The film also has skillful cinematography that leans towards an arthouse style, with jarring transitions that creates tension and draws audiences into the tortured minds of the characters. The only gripe would be that the time skips can cause some confusion in terms of characters; it becomes hard to name who’s who after various characters are introduced in a short time. Aside from that, the film was overall a thought-provoking watch that, while controversial, presents an empathetic depiction of women in Asian society that is not often highlighted. You can expect to become emotional throughout various points of the film, and reflective after. Although not necessarily an exciting movie for mass audiences, it is definitely a gripping watch, especially if feminist topics and societal issues are within your field of interest!

The Long Plot, Sans Spoilers Jung Yu Mi plays Kim Ji-Young, a regular mom who left her career to focus on raising her child. Gong Yoo plays Jung Dae Hyun, Ji-Young's caring husband. Conflicts arise in and out of the household when Ji-Young gets afflicted with a psychiatric condition, where she "turns" into another person those close to her, like her mom and sister. Throughout the movie, the struggles of women in a patriarchal society are also shown, such as workplace issues, sexual harassment, and family expectations. The Short, Honest Plot A peek into the life of a stay-at-home mom who was a former career woman. She was ordinary...except that she has a loving hubby that looks like a god and whose only flaw, really, is his bossy AF mother and a psychiatric condition.

What My Friends Think "I watched Kim Ji-Young primarily because I'm a huge Gong Yoo fan. I am so grateful I came out with more than my share of Gong Yoo goodness. It's a story about the everyday woman, often trapped with society's long-established rules and expectations. Every woman would find a piece of herself in Kim Ji-Young. I liked that the film showed pieces of her life randomly, and how it narrated how her current actions are effects of previous life experiences, and how society—from her family, work, and even her husband—had a hand in making Kim Ji-Young 'broken.' The movie doesn't want to present a clear-cut solution to an ingrained cultural and societal problem, but wants to raise awareness so that women will find her support system. And in the movie, Kim Ji-Young gets that. She actively seeks it. And I wish that every woman does the same. ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ "The film left me with much appreciation for my mom, to fellow women who choose to live outside of herself every day—choosing her kids, peace, and family. Most of all, I gained a much deeper sense of respect for myself—how strong, worthy, and enough I am." —Agatha "The movie tackled a lot of issues most women have to face on a daily basis, which should not be the norm. Cameras in bathroom stalls, condescending male peers, having to sacrifice career for the family or vice versa, being expected to serve in the kitchen, being judged [when you're still single in your 30s]—these are just some of the issues shown in the movie. Most women just learn to adjust, to give in, to sacrifice, and maybe it's high time that society recognizes that men can and should adjust, too. ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ "And in the end, sometimes, all we need is for someone to listen. We don't need someone else to solve our problems for us all the time. A little support, a listening ear, and a lot of love can go a long way. Kudos to the author for writing such a novel despite being in a mostly patriarchal society, and for the producers for making it into a movie. This enabled a lot more people to read/watch it around the world." —Costa What I Think Pinays would appreciate this movie because it's very honest and relatable. The setting is Korea, but a lot of issues are encountered by Pinays especially Pinay moms, too. You're probably familiar with the career-versus-family debates, the meddling in-laws, the judge-y people when someone brings their noisy toddler to a cafe. It'll be a great chance for you to reflect and just know that you're not alone in your struggles. ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ Another great thing about it is how the husband chose to deal with his wife's condition. He didn't impose anything on her or pushed her to seek treatment. He patiently cared for her, helped her whenever he could, and waited for her to help herself. I believe it's the best approach whenever you're dealing with a partner struggling with a mental health issue. I didn't expect to like the movie because it lacked kilig and heart-stopping plot twists aka prerequisites for my favorite dramas these days. But in the end, Kim Ji-Young made me feel empowered. It's a woke portrayal of an average woman and it acknowledged her struggles and strengths—qualities that make her extraordinary and admirable. ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ I'd Recommend It To Everyone, really, for ~*awareness*~ but most especially for married couples or those who are thinking about getting married Follow Ginyn on Instagram. Starring critically acclaimed actress Jung Yu-mi as the titular character, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is an examination of the many ways misogynistic pressures underlie the everyday experiences of the modern South Korean woman. Adapted from Cho Nam-joo’s book of the same name and directed by female director Kim Do-Yong, Kim Jiyoung markets itself as a tale about and for the Everywoman. Narratively, the film follows much of what occurred in the novel, weaving together the most striking incidents in the novel — told through flashback — in conjunction with the everyday happenings of Jiyoung’s present reality and the representation of her psychosis. The seamless transitions between such scenes streamline the broader theme of the story in a way that differs from the novel, which often appeared disjointed in the seemingly disparate elements that were given overt significance only later on. Throughout its non-linear structure, Kim Jiyoung is constructed as more of a visual portrait of a woman than the society she inhabits. Close-ups on Jiyoung’s reactions center her expressions, mirroring her responses to her daily interactions. The film’s use of its spatial surroundings, in which Jiyoung always appears to be confined to a specific room in the house with her daughter or in a specific domestic occupation, implies the stifling nature of these spaces. These spatial and symbolic meanings add to the visceral portrayal of Jiyoung’s life in the domestic frame. There is a clear departure in tone at the ending of the film, which differs significantly from that of the book. The film’s ending is considerably more optimistic, and Jiyoung’s character is given the space to develop as time goes on. Here Jung Yu-mi’s performance is especially brilliant; she manages to capture not only Jiyoung’s hopeless defeat and quiet desperation within her stances and facial expressions, but also the burgeoning anger that Jiyoung experiences as everyday incidents of sexism accumulate. Whereas the novel seemed to structure itself as more of a clinical account of gender inequality in South Korea in its incorporation of data and statistics, the film humanizes gender inequality in a way that has viewers empathizing with Kim Jiyoung as a character and woman. It is worth noting that Gong Yoo’s role as Jiyoung’s husband Dae-hyun resonates in one of the most memorable performances of the film. Viewers may have seen Gong in his most heroic moments as a self-sacrificing father in Train to Busan, but in Kim Jiyoung Gong plays a man who is inherently good but has unconsciously internalized the misogynistic sentiments of society in his own thinking. He is simultaneously playful and emotional, harsh and kind. These complex determinants of a husband’s identity explain his interactions with Jiyoung and give his character the kind of depth that doesn’t necessarily justify his actions, but takes note of them as a societal issue across the country. This in-depth character portrait is given to many, if not all characters in Kim Jiyoung. There is a tense kind of relief, for example, in Jiyoung’s playful and lighthearted interactions with her siblings, which seem to be the only respite from her everyday life. The backstory of Jiyoung’s mother is given more meaning in her compassion for her daughter; this theme of maternal love in the context of the domestic space is elaborated on through emotionally resonant scenes of concern and anger. Jiyoung’s headstrong sister sacrifices her dreams for her family, but nonchalantly dismisses that sacrifice as familial responsibility. And in a particularly simple but poignant scene, Jiyoung’s brother attempts to figure out Jiyoung’s preferences for bread with Jiyoung’s father, but instead confuses Jiyoung’s preferences for his own. With any comparative reading, of course, it is necessary to acknowledge that a film and a novel are very different mediums and that each may be effective at addressing its subject matter in its own way. Each version of Kim Jiyoung has its imperfections, and the film does possess such imperfections in its somewhat understated nature. Yet while many may turn to the novel version of Kim Jiyoung for a more comprehensive and conspicuous depiction of the gendered dynamics in South Korean society, the film Kim Jiyoung is a more specific account told through the subtle visual symbols in Jiyoung’s life, which is where its merit lies. From a Busan Bank apron — a stunningly mundane and yet powerful representation of Jiyoung’s life that is gifted to Jiyoung by her mother-in-law as a present — to the significance of the spilled coffee on a cafe floor and the subsequent derogatory remarks that ensue, the film’s visual cues of a society’s divisions shape the life of the woman it portrays. As a fictional narrative, Kim Jiyoung’s nuance lies in its specificity. Yet this specificity is what makes the film — and the character it portrays — a truly empowering account of reality.
