Hyun-Dae and Min-Ju have been sex partners for over two years. One day, without remorse or any feelings, Hyun-Dae tells Min-Ju that he is getting married. Min-Ju callously leaves him but Hyun-Dae has trouble getting over Min-Ju and reminisces of their sexual encounters even when he is with his wife. Despite this, Hyun-Dae is still very popular with the woman surrounding him: a married woman who takes his course at the academy, a college friend, a curator... All of them can't forget the night they spent with Hyun-Dae. Min-Ju on the other hand moves in with Hoon after breaking up with Hyun-Dae. She is angry at Chul-Soo, who promised that he will divorce his wife and start things up with her six years ago. Min-Ju also thinks about Hyun-Dae from time to time. What do these people really want in life?

Where it came from
Balgwanghaneun Hyeondaesa, released in 2016, is a South Korean animated feature film directed by Yeon Sang-ho, who is widely recognized for his transition from provocative independent animation to mainstream live-action success. The film emerged during a period of prolific output for the director, serving as a dark, satirical exploration of the South Korean middle class. It functions as a cynical critique of modern urban anxieties, focusing on the disillusionment of an ordinary man whose life unravels amid the pressures of contemporary society.
The film's visual design reflects the stark, gritty aesthetic characteristic of Yeon’s early animation work. By stripping away the polish often associated with the medium, the director aimed to mirror the harsh, unfiltered reality of his characters' internal and external collapses. Upon its release, it was noted by critics for its uncompromising tone and its role in pushing the boundaries of adult-oriented animation within the domestic film industry, solidifying Yeon's reputation as a filmmaker unafraid to challenge societal norms.
