Synopsis: Is Love Only Skin Deep?

Alt-Asian maverick Kim Ki-Duk (The Isle, Bad Guy, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… And Spring) takes a scalpel to modern culture’s obsession with youthful beauty and unattainable physical perfection. After 2 years together, Seh-hee thinks Ji-woo no longer finds her attractive and disappears. Reappearing six months later with a new name and surgically altered face, she competes against her own memory, wooing her lover again in a romantic version of Face/Off. But when she confesses her deception, their rediscovered romance is forced to walk a tightrope of tragedy.

A little unrealistic, but there may a cultural thing that I’m missing out on here. Still, it was solid and engrossing enough.
