The only other option was a Korean movie named “Kim Ji-young: Born 1982”, and we spontaneously decided to see this one instead. When I was in Jakarta last year in November for a 2-week visit, I wanted to watch a movie with my cousin we had decided to see “Ford vs Ferrari” but showed up rather late to the movie theater, and so the tickets were sold out. But lately, she has started to act very strangely, so her husband asks her to see a psychiatrist, who takes meticulous notes during their sessions. She has, as is the unwritten rule, given up her career for domestic existence. Kim Jiyoung - the Korean counterpart to Jane Doe - is 33, married and the mother of a one-year-old daughter and leads an ordinary life as an ordinary housewife. This is the story of a Korean woman who tries to break free from oppressive gender stereotypes.
