Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone who loves a strong drama. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The fugitive hides in the basement of a wealthy house where his wife works as a housekeeper to avoid debtors. Min-ho, a very successful businessman in the construction field, pokes at a new housekeeper, and his wife, who resents her husband for neglecting her, goes to find a fugitive living in the basement. The interlaced sex of two couples who gradually cross the water level. How far will their narrowly dangerous tightrope go?
