Possible Love released online. Korean drama already compared to Parasite
The South Korean drama Possible Love is now available in digital format. Critics have praised it highly: 96 out of 100 on Metacritic, 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and 8.1 on IMDb. South Korea has already selected the film as its candidate for the Oscar.
The plot begins with layoffs at a factory, after which an entire family loses their jobs. A well-off documentary filmmaker decides to make a film about them and gradually grows closer to one of the women in the family. The closer they become, the clearer both see the chasm that separates their lives.
Many are calling the film the year's standout movie, and critics believe Sol Kyung-gu and Jeon Do-yeon delivered their best career performances here. The cinematography and the honest portrayal of the working-class family's life, without embellishment, have also been praised.
