Ah-yeong (Jung Eun-chae) and Jun-ho (Lee Dong-hwi) are an old couple.
The two, who have been together since college days, keep each other’s side even following they turn 30.
However, the stability of the relationship and the size of love are not proportional to time.
Jun-ho, who has failed the civil service exam for several years, and A-yeong, who gave up her dream and entered the real estate brokerage business to support him. The two get tired of each other.
As the title suggests, ‘Maybe we broke up’, the two intuit that this relationship is coming to an end even before they break up.
Unlike other romance works, the film begins in earnest with the two people breaking up.
Ah-yeong and Jun-ho’s quarrel is extremely trivial, so the separation process is more realistic.
Ah-yeong is embarrassed of Jun-ho, who has no decent job even though he is well past his 30s.
He grunts at Junho, who is wearing a checked shirt and an overstretched T-shirt at a group gathering of friends, saying, “Come out dressed up.”
He shouts loudly in front of himself, but can’t even get angry saying “It’s okay” in front of the police is unreliable.
Jun-ho is dissatisfied with Ah-yeong, who refuses to do housework just because she wants to make money.
When boiling ramen, he says ‘I have no idea’, but when eating, he gets angry at Ah-yeong, who eats all the ramen and says, ‘Give me a bite’.
It is also reprehensible to suspend the cost of living card immediately following a fight.
Director Hyeong Seul-woo fleshed out a short he had conceived five or six years ago and turned it into a feature.
In this process, the story of a man going to return a tablet PC to his ex-lover has expanded from the time before the breakup to the process of meeting each other following having a new lover.
At a press conference held immediately following the premiere, director Hyung said, “This work is a film that focuses on breakups.” wanted,” he said.
Ah-yeong and Jun-ho meet someone new not long following they broke up.
The new lover has the exact opposite characteristics of the previous one.
Ah-young meets Gyeong-il (Kil-woo Kang), a man with both wealth and a caring personality, and Jun-ho starts dating Anna (Jung Da-eun), a free-spirited and candid college student.
But even that relationship doesn’t last very long.
The film calmly follows the story of a couple who broke up due to small misunderstandings and conflicts, broadening the scope of the audience’s empathy.
The lead actors Lee Dong-hwi and Jung Eun-chae lead the play quite successfully.
Lee Dong-hwi brings laughter with her unique humorous acting tone, and Jung Eun-chae plays an ordinary woman in her 30s, presenting an image that was not seen in previous works.
In particular, the fresh combination of the two adds novel charm.
Lee Dong-hwi said, “I wanted to express the feeling of desolation or emptiness that comes when the stable relationship Ah-yeong and Jun-ho formed following a long relationship suddenly disappears.”
Opened on the 8th. 103 minutes. 12 year old viewer.
