SYNOPSIS
A man with two women in a jealous relationship is a cliché of a drama. The man, a figure of ability and charm is a stereotypical element causing a barrier against the females bonding in this male-centered, hetero-normative representation. The film provokes thought about this representational prototype. Da-kyung happens to meet Ah-ri, an ex-girlfriend of her boyfriend Min-woo. Sharing character similarities and tastes, they become close quickly. In the on going dynamics of these girls\' relationship, Min-woo becomes a \'vanishing mediator\' that connects them together. It is rather interesting to see the subtle flow of the women\'s emotions portrayed indirectly in Les Bonnes, a stage play in the film. (Jay Sohn)
