LOL! I think I got it! This is a movie about role-reversal. I don't know about SKorea, but where I live the set-up Yeon-hee and Jun-young have is usually the other way around. The man marries for convenience/status/money and has a mistress on the side complete with parallel household. I sat through this movie just experiencing the love story "straight". Then, hours later while cooking in the kitchen, it HIT me! (I'm slow like that) Jun-young was experiencing what the "other woman" goes through in that kind of relationship. The dependence, the loneliness, the angst, the jealousy and guilt. Even to the ending! WOW!
