Features: The film adaptation of the novel "Forbidden Love" won the Best Film Award at the 7th Korean Women's Film Festival. A woman who rebels against traditional ethics, a passionate and unrestrained extramarital affair. Once again, the 28th "Lost Paradise" that shook Korea! Compared to love that is incorporated into a legal system and can become a monument, love that subverts life, loses face, and lacks rationality is more charming. Because such love is wild, it exists outside the system, and it is blocked outside the traditional secular world. In my eyes, the people who break away from the dull, stale, and repetitive life and show courage and change in their love are more beautiful. – Postscript by the author
