    A secret gem of a comedy similar to Intimate Strangers
    Havung run out of Korean movies to watch, I randomly stumbled upon this one on Amazon Prime and my god how the hell have I not heard about this movie before?

    If you loved the movie "Intimate Strangers" then you will most likely enjoy this one too. The plot is hard to predict and full of comedy and drama. Trust me you will enjoy this one.
