🏏 Kim Ji Young Born 1982 Review

Themulti-million copy international bestseller Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is the South Korean sensation that has got the whole world talking.The life story of one young woman born at the end of the twentieth century raises questions about endemic misogyny and institutional oppression that are relevant to us all. by Cho Nam-JoI knew that the Republic of Korea South Korea and India celebrate Independence Day on the 15th of August. What I didn’t know was how similar the cultures of these two countries were until I read Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982. This million-copy bestseller, written by Cho Nam-Joo, translated into English by Jamie Chang with audiobook narration by Jamie Parker deserves it’s tremendous success and more. The cover with a sketch of a face framed by black hair but no features laid atop a city skyline, highlights by its absence, the commonplace life of its eponymous protagonist, Kim Jiyoung in urban South Korea. Like the simple cover, it is a simple story, simply told. What makes it special, is the way it draws in readers through its matter of fact telling of a story that plays out in every country that is burdened by patriarchy. Jiyoung, a young woman in Seoul starts showing signs of mental imbalance in the autumn of 2015, a year after the birth of her daughter. At first it seems odd to find an educated, modern young woman falling apart despite a comfortable, happily married family life but as the story unfolds, the reasons become apparent. It isn’t always one moment of horrific trauma that makes people crack but the cumulative effects of a lifetime of being at the receiving end of small, thoughtless aggressions, something that girls in Korea and world over routinely face, a series of episodes that can ultimately destroy a person’s well-being. Jiyoung, the quiet, second daughter born in a traditional family where the father goes out to work while her mother stays home, observes and quickly normalises her life in a culture that prefers male children. While she is expected to share everything from a blanket to a treat with her sister, her much-younger brother gets the best portions of food, better clothes, and of course, more attention from their parents and grandmother. “It didn’t occur to the child Jiyoung that her brother was receiving special treatment, and so she wasn’t even jealous. That’s how it had always been.”As we follow Jiyoung’s growth through her childhood years 1982-19940, adolescence 1995-200, early adulthood 2001-2011, and marriage 2012-2015, through ordinary episodes of school and workplace bullying, family expectations before and after marriage, we uncover the myriad ways in which a person’s soul can be effaced. The unfolding of the systematic effects of patriarchy is so gradual that it doesn’t come across as punitive or intentional. It is revealed for what it is, an insidious state of being . Jiyoung’s father and later, her husband, appear to be mild-mannered men of not much consequence. It is the women who are the complicit perpetrators of patriarchy. Jiyoung’s paternal grandmother, who despite her hard life with four sons and an incompetent husband a man with a fair complexion and soft hands, who never worked a day in his life doesn’t resent her him because he didn’t sleep around or hit her. Even though three of her four sons turn out to be ungrateful, her heartfelt wish for the only daughter-in-law, Jiyoung’s mother, who takes care of her is “You should have a son. You must have a son. You must have at least two sons.”Jiyoung’s mother is more than just the compliant meek daughter-in-law. She is the backbone of the family, the one with business savvy and foresight who uplifts the family’s standard of living and enables her daughters but still favors her youngest child, the hardwon growth from a primarily agricultural society to an industrialised one and its impact on society provides the backdrop on which the characters grow and change, thereby enabling the transformation of the country. But they each bear the human cost of their participation in the country’s progress as it plays out in small and large ways in their own periodic intervals, the novel provides footnotes for reference to relevant statistics on government policies and other measures. These helpful asides are not mere digressions. They add veracity to the story of one fictional protagonist who represents her generation. The introduction in Korea of family planning’, a government sanctioned measure to limit the expanding population when combined with easy access to ultra-sound technology leads to sex-selective abortions and an alarmingly skewed gender ratio. The short-sightedness of such programmes in cultures that favour male children and the inevitable impact that serves to further exacerbate existing problems were effortlessly portrayed through Jiyoung’s life. Whether it’s her interaction with bullies or perverts or outright chauvinists, Jiyoung’s story hits uncomfortably close to makes the story work is the clinically detached narration. I admired the absence of sentimentality that kept the story moving briskly as well as the simplicity of the prose that stayed true to its purpose of just telling the story. I first heard the audiobook and then read the print version. On both occasions, I found myself getting worked up, my short breaths fanning my anger at the way people make choices to conform to the bias of society, cleanly sidestepping responsibility for all the wrongs that follow. Even as I wrote this review, I had to stop and take deep breaths to continue. What makes the novel real is not just Jiyoung’s struggle to make her way through a world that seems to be systematically wired with landmines to trip her progress, but the fact that at several points, she comes across women who in their own limited way, try to make a difference. Whether it is a young classmate in school who decides to stand up to an unfair system that puts girls at a disadvantage or the stranger on the bus who rescues her on a dark night at a bus stop and tells her “It’s not your fault”, there are women who work within the system to uplift one woman at a time, through words or actions, however trivial they may favorite character was Jiyoung’s mother, herself a victim of a generation where female siblings willingly worked in their youth to put their brothers through school and later spent their adult life supporting their own family. With her entrepreneurial spirit and courage, she brings financial stability to her home and takes a stand to enable her daughters to have a better life than what she could do for herself. But in the end, she is a victim of her circumstances and her biases, just like the therapist who tries to piece together Jiyoung’s case in the context of his own life. The strength of the story lies both in the telling of it and in it’s conclusion that the ills of society cannot be condoned, even if it is co-opted by the majority. What it does not do is provide a neat solution, either for Jiyoung or for the reader. My opinion With translations into eighteen languages, this book should be made essential reading for girls, boys, and their parents all over the you read this book?

BerandaMovie [REVIEW FILM] Kim Ji Young, Born 1982 [REVIEW FILM] Kim Ji Young, Born 1982 Dewi Elsawati Januari 09, 2020. Sebenanya agak terlambat saya review film ini karena tayang sejak 20 November 2019 lalu. Tapi tetap saja, saya merasa harus menulis sudut pandang saya pribadi tentang film ini, karena inti permasalahan film ini tidak hanya Ji Young became different people from time to time. Some of them were living, others were dead, all of them women she knew. No matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t a joke or a prank. Truly, flawlessly, completely, she became that person. When was the last time you asked your mother how she was doing? We often forget about the sacrifices our mothers make for us as a parent and as women. Books like Kim Ji Young come to us as a wake up call and urge us to stand up against the unfair practices of discrimaination in the society. Kim Ji Young, Born 1982, is a Korean novel written by former scriptwriter, Cho Nam Joo and translated to English by Jamie Chang. It came into publication in the year 2016 with Minumsa and has since sold over a million copies, becoming the first million selling Korean novel. It was even adapted to a film in 2019 starring Gong Yoo and Jung Yu Mi, which also gained a lot of popularity. Kim Ji Young tells the story of all mothers, all women. Following the life of Ji Young and her family, the novel talks about the struggle a woman has to go through throughout her life. It takes you on a journey of awareness and walks you step by step on what it takes to be a woman and to grow up and live in Korea. Captivating you from the very beginning, Cho has written the book in a simple manner with a simple story which in every way manages to capture your heart. Kim Ji Young is not a complicated novel, neither does it take a lot from you to understand it, no major plot twists, no characters you love or hate, or sad or happy endings. It is a simple story about a woman’s life and is simply heart breaking. Cho writes the book with ease, giving us the right amount of information when needed. She writes in such a way that the book keeps you interested till the very end and even after being translated it does not lose its message or magic. The book Kim Ji Young talks about the sacrifices a woman makes in her life. It talks of empowerment, of oppression, the discrimation women face and the ways society has failed women throughout time. And as you read the novel you realise these topics are not just limited to Korea but also are a huge part of other societies, like ours. More than often we ignore or do not bother to think about the sacrifices our mothers make for us, even though it may be an unconscious action on our part, it does exist. Books like Kim Ji Young help us to some extent spread awareness about topics like these. It is an eye opening read that urges us to question the prejudices in society. And forces us to look at the little things we often tend to ignore and not give much importance to- the dreams and the life our mothers give up to take care of us and our dreams. Kim Ji Young is an eye opening and an emotional read. A similar book to the above mentioned is The Vegetarian by Han Kang which deals with somewhat similar topics.

Story Acting/Cast Music Rewatch Value A feminist story that needs to be told This is a feminist story, there's no doubt about that. Its starts off easy enough, a mum who had ambitions, settling down as a stay at home mum. We all that person. But that's not all a person is, and she struggles to come to terms with her simple life, we catch glimpses of the different parts of her identity, growing up from a young girl to a careerist, then to a wife, now a mum. We see glimpses of her steps to womanhood and the stifling restrictions set up for what society a woman can be, especially in a conversative Korean environment. This story is relatable for women, seeing the stuggle to juggle many identities at once, to be a good mum, to be respected in the working worlds, to be a loving wife, to be approved by the in laws, these crazy standards and tireless efforts to please everyone, takes a heavy toll. Kim Ji Young is a young mum of young kid who has to put aside her career aspirations aside to care for her child and home. To do that successfully is hard enough, but on top of that, she feels trapped, as that is all her efforts in life can amount to. Her loving husband isn't to blame, who seeks to share the burden after hours of work, or all to her own family who care about her wellbeing, but who have no idea what is wrong with her . It's the never ending cycle of her life as a just a mum that scares her. She becomes unfulfilled by the routine and seeks out freedom by trying to see if she could get a job, to almost taking on a full time role, flipping the gender roles, almost, but to no avail. There is too much to lose. She can never earn as much as her husband, especially she is the breadwinnerThe people who can't see she is struggling, only her husband, who eventually asks her to get professional help, who is the one who finally tells her mother. This coincides with her really letting out her repressed frustrations at the unfairness of it all, her anger, and coming into terms with her mental health issues and finally being able to say, yes, she is hurt, and she wants help. The men in her life, her father, her brother uncover the ignorance they didn't really notice until her mother, also, seeing Ji Young in pain, let out her pain. The blame can't be put into one person, after all, its society, and its a cycle, that the movie seems to ask, can we really break free from? In the end, this movie at least, allows Kim Ji Young finds her voice and decides to pursue her dream of writing a book, this book, as if giving her some form of control back in her life, and manifest an identity that isn't just tied to being her child's mother. It takes immense courage, loving understanding from others, and her letting go of her past happenings in her life that lets her to start anew. TLDR The cast is great, and its a simple story, that just needs to be simply told. I'll like to read the book to compare it with. Read More Was this review helpful to you?

MengangkatTopik Sensitif. Review Kim Ji-young Born 1982. Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 mengangkat topik sensitif: feminisme. Feminisme masih menjadi hal baru bagi masyarakat Korea Selatan yang konservatif dan menjunjung tinggi kaum laki-laki. Perempuan masih dianggap manusia nomor dua, baik di keluarga maupun lingkungan kerja. This Korean bestseller chronicles the everyday struggle of women against endemic sexism. Its provocative power springs from the same source as its total, crushing banality in telling the story of Kim Jiyoung – whose name is the Korean equivalent of “Jane Doe” – Cho Nam-joo’s third novel has been hailed as giving voice to the unheard we meet Jiyoung, she is 33, with a one-year-old child. Her life is unremarkable, except that she has begun to take on the personalities of other people. During a visit to her in-laws, Jiyoung slips into her mother’s identity and speaks in a manner deemed inappropriate for her place in the age-based hierarchy of Korean society. Her father-in-law is outraged, thundering “Is this how you behave in front of your elders?”Jiyoung agrees to visit a psychiatrist, and his record of their conversations about her life makes up most of this slim novel. She was born when “checking the sex of the foetus and aborting females was common practice, as if daughter’ was a medical problem”. We see that though she has always played by the rules, she cannot win. “Jiyoung was standing in the middle of a labyrinth. Conscientiously and calmly, she was searching for a way out that didn’t exist.” The clinical, dispassionate third-person account, annotated by reports from newspapers and official demographic data, catalogues the systemic oppression she has faced. At school, boys eat first, and she suffers sexual harassment and victim blaming. In the workplace, she has first-hand experience of the gender pay gap “women working in Korea earn only 63 per cent of what men earn”. And while performing the uncompensated, costly work of motherhood, she is horrified to hear herself denigrated as a parasitic “mum-roach”.What does it mean to narrate a life in a strictly chronological fashion? The linearity of the account feels claustrophobic, with the case-study style objectifying Jiyoung and stripping her of her interiority. Cho’s formal excision of any sense of imaginative possibility is highly effective in creating an airless, unbearably dull world in which Jiyoung’s madness makes complete sense. Her derangement is the only way out of the cramped paradox of gender-based time passes, the novel shows how attitudes towards gender are entwined with socioeconomic issues. Cho spotlights the Korean financial crisis of 1997, after which increases in wage inequality and barriers to social mobility contributed to a sense of despair, fuelling misogynistic sentiments. Jiyoung’s life is also set against more positive developments, such as new legislation against gender discrimination – but the path to progress is serpentine. “The world had changed a great deal, but the little rules, contracts and customs had not, which meant the world hadn’t actually changed at all.”“When you girls grow up, maybe we’ll even have a female president!”, speculated Jiyoung’s mother to her young daughter. And indeed, when Kim Jiyoung was published in Korea in 2016, there was a female president Park Geun-hye, the daughter of military dictator Park Chung-hee. But Park Geun-hye adopted her father’s method of patriarchal authoritarianism. Under her leadership, gender inequality worsened, women took a disproportionate hit from the growing wealth gap and the number of sex crimes Geun-hye was eventually brought down by a huge corruption scandal that erupted in 2016, causing millions of Koreans to take to the streets calling for her impeachment. In May that year, a 34-year-old man murdered a random woman in a Seoul subway, stating that he did so because he felt “ignored” and “belittled” by women. The public outcry that followed this attack fused the widespread energy of change with a nascent popular feminist consciousness, taking root in the Korean version of Jiyoung’s publication during this seachange in mood could not have been more perfectly timed. The first Korean novel in nearly a decade to sell more than 1m copies, it has become both a touchstone for a conversation around feminism and gender and a lightning rod for anti-feminists who view the book as inciting misandry there was a crowdfunding campaign for a book called Kim Ji‑hoon, Born 1990, showing the “reverse discrimination” faced by men. The book has also touched a nerve globally a bestseller in China, Taiwan and Japan, it has been translated into 18 languages, in English by Jamie Chang, and adapted for character of Kim Jiyoung can be seen as a sort of sacrifice a protagonist who is broken in order to open up a channel for collective rage. Along with other socially critical narratives to come out of Korea, such as Bong Joon-ho’s Oscar-winning film Parasite, her story could change the bigger one.

Based off the controversial autobiographical novel of the same name, “Kim Ji-Young, Born 1982” is a heart-wrenching uncovering of what it means to be a woman in a conservative patriarchal society. The movie stars veteran actors Gong Yoo Dae Hyun and Jung Yu-Mi Kim Ji-Young as leads, who have formerly worked together on the award-winning film “Train to Busan”. Following the protagonist Kim Ji-Young in the 80’s, the general storyline revolves around her troubled mental health that causes her to have lapses where she speaks as if she were her deceased grandmother or friend. Given the fame the feminist novel has garnered before the release of this film, it is expected that what matters more is not the storyline, but how the details of the story are presented through the female lens. With a focus on mother figures, the film’s narration forces us to critically examine stereotypical notions of a woman’s duties in the domestic sphere by highlighting its occurrence in daily life. For instance, we constantly see a favouritism towards men displayed by both male and female characters, especially from Dae Hyun’s mother who expects Ji-Young to work tirelessly throughout dinner preparations while her son sits idly. It is likely that many will identify with or have seen similar experiences, making the film’s impact all the more significant without having to explicitly state sexist tendencies of a conservative society. Aside from highlighting prominence of sexism in the everyday, the movie also expertly portrays how society’s patriarchy has progressed through the years. Through interactions between three generations of characters, we get to understand the motivations behind their actions, and the grievances as a result of sexist ideas. The use of Ji-Young’s condition to provide a voice for oppressed women was a well-done narration that gives greater insight into the conservative Korean society. What the film does particularly well is their use of male characters — while it is undeniable that Dae Hyun and Ji-Young’s father care for Ji-Young greatly, they are still susceptible to sexist tendencies that they may not have even been conscious of. This brings into focus that inequality may not always be born from hatred, but from the lack of awareness. The film also has skillful cinematography that leans towards an arthouse style, with jarring transitions that creates tension and draws audiences into the tortured minds of the characters. The only gripe would be that the time skips can cause some confusion in terms of characters; it becomes hard to name who’s who after various characters are introduced in a short time. Aside from that, the film was overall a thought-provoking watch that, while controversial, presents an empathetic depiction of women in Asian society that is not often highlighted. You can expect to become emotional throughout various points of the film, and reflective after. Although not necessarily an exciting movie for mass audiences, it is definitely a gripping watch, especially if feminist topics and societal issues are within your field of interest!

Written by CheyennePicture Credit Purple Plan — PATRONISE US TWEET US LIKE’ US WATCH US KimJiyoung, Born 1982 is less of a character study than an extrapolation of the lived experiences of a generation of women in South Korea. An understanding of Cho Nam-Joo's intentions and the context of the setting is essential to appreciating the novel. It is plotless and straightforward in a way that could be perceived as artless, or curiously devoid of emotion. Summary One of Korea’s best-selling novels is a portrait of systemic discrimination that through its repeated ordinariness becomes something extraordinary. Originally released in its native South Korea in 2016, Cho Nam-Joo’s book shot to fame in South Korea when floor leader of the Justice Party’s Roh Hoe-chan gifted the book to President Moon Jae-in. The book, which concerns a stay-at-home mother with depression, was inscribed with a message that read “Please embrace Kim Ji-young Born ’82.'” The film adaptation of KIM JI-YOUNG, BORN 1982 82년생 김지영 arrives in a timely fashion as the global MeToo movement shares similar true tales of everyday discrimination. Most descriptions will tell you that the titular Kim Ji-Young Jung Yu-Mi is an ordinary woman in her 30s who starts experiencing signs of being someone else. Of course, that spooky sounding plotline speaks more to the otherness’ she has been experiencing her whole life as a woman in Korea. This film signals the feature directorial debut of actor Kim Do-young, perhaps best known for roles in films like The Righteous Thief 2009. In translating the novel to the screen, she and co-writer Yoo Young-ah On Your Wedding Day have managed work Cho’s vignettes into a single narrative while maintaining the cumulative impact of institutionalised sexism. From dealing with groping as a schoolgirl to familial and societal expectations of Ji-young as a mother, her wants and needs have consistently been secondary to those of her brother, husband, and father. Ostensibly about indoctrinated misogyny in South Korea, there’s a universality to Ji-young’s experience. Following the book’s structure of a life as a case study, albeit without the bookends of a male doctor analysing her experience, Ji-young’s life might be viewed by the men in her life extraordinary but the truth is that it’s the cumulative and systemic micro and let’s face it, macro aggressions that determine her fate. Early in the film, Ji-young overhears someone referring to her coffee break with child in tow as a “comfortable life,” a viewpoint shared by many men in her circle. Her father gets easily outraged by any woman’s role that is not child-rearing, while Ji-young’s mother-in-law is furious that her return to work might jeopardise her own son’s career. Jung Yu-Mi – known for her roles in Oki’s Movie, Train to Busan and Psychokinesis – delivers a powerfully understated and award-winning performance. Her stoicism in the face of prosaic prejudice gives added weight to the film. Equally fierce is Ji-young’s mother, who’s vocal opposition to the men in their lives leads to a semi-breakdown on screen. The men, of course, stand about impotent in the face of emotion. When the book and film were released in Korea, headlines spoke of it increasing tensions in the local market and couples breaking up over it. The messaging is not necessarily subtle, but neither is the discrimination against women. It’s precisely the ordinariness of these typically male viewpoints that, when taken together in a single document such as this, demonstrate how stacked the system is against career-minded women. Yet it would also be very easy to dismiss this as a Korean problem, and if this timely tale shows us anything it’s that society has a collective culpability in perpetuating it or a responsibility to instigate change. 2019 South Korean DIRECTOR Kim Do-young WRITER Kim Do-young, Yoo Young-Ah CAST Jung Yu-mi, Gong Yoo, Kim Mi-kyeong DISTRIBUTOR Little Monster Entertainment/Korean Film Festival in Australia AUS RUNNING TIME 120 minutes RELEASE DATE 29 October – 5 November 2020 KOFFIA Read more coverage of South Korean cinema from the silent era to festivals and other contemporary releases.

ChoNam-Joo. Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 begins with the eponymous protagonist taking on the speech and mannerisms first of her mother and then of a college friend, in what seems almost like possession, to the distress of her husband and his family. She is then referred to a psychiatrist, whose perspective provides the conclusion to the novel.
“What do you want from us? The dumb girls are too dumb, the smart girls are too smart, and the average girls are too unexceptional?” These are lines in Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-joo, the Korean novel hailed by The Guardian as a “South Korean MeToo bestseller.” With the recent release of the English translation by Jamie Chang, the groundbreaking feminist novel is now available to readers who seek to understand how society has designed the struggles of the modern Korean woman. The book focuses on the silent and subtle injustices experienced by a woman named Kim Jiyoung, whose name is implied to represent the Korean “Everywoman.” Cho’s narrative tracks the progression from childhood to adulthood, with inequality as the central aspect of Jiyoung’s life. These stories, which read more like third-person anecdotes, are interspersed with commentary and statistics that problematize how gender inequality manifests in South Korea. To that effect, Cho’s reportage emphasizes the broader contexts of sexist practices and institutions, while Jiyoung herself serves as the individual microcosm where daily sexism becomes apparent. The almost “hybrid” nature of the book is instrumental in illustrating the dynamics of womanhood. It is here that Kim Jiyoung evolves beyond a specific literary character and is given greater depth as the representation for a societal issue. As a child, Jiyoung is forced to endure a classmate’s daily harassment under the justification of “boys will be boys.” As a young adult, she cannot get hired because she is a woman; when she does get a job, she cannot get promoted. When she is married, she is forced to sacrifice her job to be a wife, which is implied to be the “only” job that she needs. When she is pregnant, she is told she is entitled for arriving to work late. When she becomes a housewife, her domestic labor is demeaned. At its core, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 expresses a woman’s struggles with what has become mundane and mediocre, products of a society that relegates women to inferior positions. These instances of sexism express the book’s central idea that not only is it difficult to be a woman, but also that cultural values have influenced a woman’s identity. As such, these values have become embedded into the very fabric of South Korean society. They have come to determine how women are allowed to live. There are so many poignant moments in the novel that it is difficult to only talk about one. Rather, it is necessary to examine the entirety of these moments as a composite whole. Within Jiyoung’s experience, both the mundane and the mediocre stem from the denial of equal opportunity and upward mobility for a woman. Yet they are also reflections of how for the Korean woman, mediocrity becomes normalized. Jiyoung experiences the imposition of gender constructs through both microaggressions and blatant attacks. Her subliminal acts of rebellion against these constructs involve her assuming the role of different women she has known throughout her life, including her mother. She is suspected to have postnatal depression, but it is psychosis that she has been driven to by a patriarchal society. What Cho does superbly well is create an atmosphere of suffocation and frustration. She evokes this all-consuming sense of helplessness within the emptiness of Jiyoung’s life; there is a constant idea that for Jiyoung, there is no way of dismantling the patriarchy other than losing the identity that she has created within it. The disintegration of Kim Jiyoung’s identity becomes a kind of rebellion, and the chronological structure of the book adds to its power. The reader does not just witness Jiyoung’s sadness as a housewife, but the quiet anger throughout her life as a woman. The English translation of Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is admittedly not without shortcomings. There are parts where the language becomes so stiff that the book is difficult to truly comprehend. At times, the dialogue is awkwardly stilted, one of the issues that comes with translation as a process. But Chang handles Cho’s simplicity with skill, rendering the same ideas that were so powerful in the original. With Cho’s sensitive and forceful writing, Jiyoung becomes more than the profile of a Korean woman. She becomes universal, an expression of not only the “Everywoman” of injustices, but the “Everywoman” of human experience. “What do you want from us?” Jiyoung asks. Cho never gives an answer.
Reviewsách Kim Ji Young, Born 1982 - Sinh Năm 1982. Kim Ji Young, Born 1982 - Sinh Năm 1982 by Cho Nam Joo 4 reviews Review sách Kim Ji Young, Born 1982 - Sinh Năm 1982 Khanh Dang đã review Tôi ước gì bạn đọc cuốn sách và thấy những điều được nhắc đến trong sách là hoàn toàn xa lạ, như ở một
Starring critically acclaimed actress Jung Yu-mi as the titular character, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is an examination of the many ways misogynistic pressures underlie the everyday experiences of the modern South Korean woman. Adapted from Cho Nam-joo’s book of the same name and directed by female director Kim Do-Yong, Kim Jiyoung markets itself as a tale about and for the Everywoman. Narratively, the film follows much of what occurred in the novel, weaving together the most striking incidents in the novel — told through flashback — in conjunction with the everyday happenings of Jiyoung’s present reality and the representation of her psychosis. The seamless transitions between such scenes streamline the broader theme of the story in a way that differs from the novel, which often appeared disjointed in the seemingly disparate elements that were given overt significance only later on. Throughout its non-linear structure, Kim Jiyoung is constructed as more of a visual portrait of a woman than the society she inhabits. Close-ups on Jiyoung’s reactions center her expressions, mirroring her responses to her daily interactions. The film’s use of its spatial surroundings, in which Jiyoung always appears to be confined to a specific room in the house with her daughter or in a specific domestic occupation, implies the stifling nature of these spaces. These spatial and symbolic meanings add to the visceral portrayal of Jiyoung’s life in the domestic frame. There is a clear departure in tone at the ending of the film, which differs significantly from that of the book. The film’s ending is considerably more optimistic, and Jiyoung’s character is given the space to develop as time goes on. Here Jung Yu-mi’s performance is especially brilliant; she manages to capture not only Jiyoung’s hopeless defeat and quiet desperation within her stances and facial expressions, but also the burgeoning anger that Jiyoung experiences as everyday incidents of sexism accumulate. Whereas the novel seemed to structure itself as more of a clinical account of gender inequality in South Korea in its incorporation of data and statistics, the film humanizes gender inequality in a way that has viewers empathizing with Kim Jiyoung as a character and woman. It is worth noting that Gong Yoo’s role as Jiyoung’s husband Dae-hyun resonates in one of the most memorable performances of the film. Viewers may have seen Gong in his most heroic moments as a self-sacrificing father in Train to Busan, but in Kim Jiyoung Gong plays a man who is inherently good but has unconsciously internalized the misogynistic sentiments of society in his own thinking. He is simultaneously playful and emotional, harsh and kind. These complex determinants of a husband’s identity explain his interactions with Jiyoung and give his character the kind of depth that doesn’t necessarily justify his actions, but takes note of them as a societal issue across the country. This in-depth character portrait is given to many, if not all characters in Kim Jiyoung. There is a tense kind of relief, for example, in Jiyoung’s playful and lighthearted interactions with her siblings, which seem to be the only respite from her everyday life. The backstory of Jiyoung’s mother is given more meaning in her compassion for her daughter; this theme of maternal love in the context of the domestic space is elaborated on through emotionally resonant scenes of concern and anger. Jiyoung’s headstrong sister sacrifices her dreams for her family, but nonchalantly dismisses that sacrifice as familial responsibility. And in a particularly simple but poignant scene, Jiyoung’s brother attempts to figure out Jiyoung’s preferences for bread with Jiyoung’s father, but instead confuses Jiyoung’s preferences for his own. With any comparative reading, of course, it is necessary to acknowledge that a film and a novel are very different mediums and that each may be effective at addressing its subject matter in its own way. Each version of Kim Jiyoung has its imperfections, and the film does possess such imperfections in its somewhat understated nature. Yet while many may turn to the novel version of Kim Jiyoung for a more comprehensive and conspicuous depiction of the gendered dynamics in South Korean society, the film Kim Jiyoung is a more specific account told through the subtle visual symbols in Jiyoung’s life, which is where its merit lies. From a Busan Bank apron — a stunningly mundane and yet powerful representation of Jiyoung’s life that is gifted to Jiyoung by her mother-in-law as a present — to the significance of the spilled coffee on a cafe floor and the subsequent derogatory remarks that ensue, the film’s visual cues of a society’s divisions shape the life of the woman it portrays. As a fictional narrative, Kim Jiyoung’s nuance lies in its specificity. Yet this specificity is what makes the film — and the character it portrays — a truly empowering account of reality.

The Long Plot, Sans Spoilers Jung Yu Mi plays Kim Ji-Young, a regular mom who left her career to focus on raising her child. Gong Yoo plays Jung Dae Hyun, Ji-Young's caring husband. Conflicts arise in and out of the household when Ji-Young gets afflicted with a psychiatric condition, where she "turns" into another person those close to her, like her mom and sister. Throughout the movie, the struggles of women in a patriarchal society are also shown, such as workplace issues, sexual harassment, and family expectations. The Short, Honest Plot A peek into the life of a stay-at-home mom who was a former career woman. She was ordinary...except that she has a loving hubby that looks like a god and whose only flaw, really, is his bossy AF mother and a psychiatric condition. The Actors And Where You Last Saw Them Jung Yu Mi as Kim Ji-Young Prior to this film, Yu Mi starred in the movie Psychokinesis 2018 with Ryu Seung Ryong and in the series Live 2018 with Lee Kwang Soo. ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ Gong Yoo as Jung Dae Hyun Gong Yoo's most recent acting projects before this film were Train To Busan, The Age Of Shadows, and Goblin all in 2016. Did You Know? 1. This is Yu Mi and Gong Yoo's third movie together! The previous ones were Train To Busan and Silenced 2011. 2. The pair also belong to the same entertainment agency called Soop, which manages other big K-drama stars like Bae Suzy, Choi Woo Sik who was also in Train To Busan, and rom-com queen Gong Hyo Jin. ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ 3. Suzy promoted the movie of her sunbae labelmates on her IG, but this didn't sit well with people who negatively viewed the movie's feminist theme. 4. Kim Ji-Young Born 1982 was actually based on a book of the same name. The novel, written by Cho Nam-Joo, sold over a million copies in Korea but also received criticisms because of the sensitive issues it touched upon. ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ 5. Seo Ji Hye who played Seo Dan in Crash Landing On You and Red Velvet's Irene both revealed having read the novel...and both drew flak for it. What My Friends Think "I watched Kim Ji-Young primarily because I'm a huge Gong Yoo fan. I am so grateful I came out with more than my share of Gong Yoo goodness. It's a story about the everyday woman, often trapped with society's long-established rules and expectations. Every woman would find a piece of herself in Kim Ji-Young. I liked that the film showed pieces of her life randomly, and how it narrated how her current actions are effects of previous life experiences, and how society—from her family, work, and even her husband—had a hand in making Kim Ji-Young 'broken.' The movie doesn't want to present a clear-cut solution to an ingrained cultural and societal problem, but wants to raise awareness so that women will find her support system. And in the movie, Kim Ji-Young gets that. She actively seeks it. And I wish that every woman does the same. ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ "The film left me with much appreciation for my mom, to fellow women who choose to live outside of herself every day—choosing her kids, peace, and family. Most of all, I gained a much deeper sense of respect for myself—how strong, worthy, and enough I am." —Agatha "The movie tackled a lot of issues most women have to face on a daily basis, which should not be the norm. Cameras in bathroom stalls, condescending male peers, having to sacrifice career for the family or vice versa, being expected to serve in the kitchen, being judged [when you're still single in your 30s]—these are just some of the issues shown in the movie. Most women just learn to adjust, to give in, to sacrifice, and maybe it's high time that society recognizes that men can and should adjust, too. ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ "And in the end, sometimes, all we need is for someone to listen. We don't need someone else to solve our problems for us all the time. A little support, a listening ear, and a lot of love can go a long way. Kudos to the author for writing such a novel despite being in a mostly patriarchal society, and for the producers for making it into a movie. This enabled a lot more people to read/watch it around the world." —Costa What I Think Pinays would appreciate this movie because it's very honest and relatable. The setting is Korea, but a lot of issues are encountered by Pinays especially Pinay moms, too. You're probably familiar with the career-versus-family debates, the meddling in-laws, the judge-y people when someone brings their noisy toddler to a cafe. It'll be a great chance for you to reflect and just know that you're not alone in your struggles. ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ Another great thing about it is how the husband chose to deal with his wife's condition. He didn't impose anything on her or pushed her to seek treatment. He patiently cared for her, helped her whenever he could, and waited for her to help herself. I believe it's the best approach whenever you're dealing with a partner struggling with a mental health issue. I didn't expect to like the movie because it lacked kilig and heart-stopping plot twists aka prerequisites for my favorite dramas these days. But in the end, Kim Ji-Young made me feel empowered. It's a woke portrayal of an average woman and it acknowledged her struggles and strengths—qualities that make her extraordinary and admirable.

MsKim Jiyoung is a wife who gives up her career and independence for a life of domesticity. Ms Kim Jiyoung has started acting strangely. Ms Kim Jiyoung is depressed. Ms Kim Jiyoung is mad. Ms Kim Jiyoung is her own woman. Ms Kim Jiyoung is every woman. Ms Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is the South Korean sensation which has got the whole world talking.
A review of Cho Nam-joo’s Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 I’ve had this book for over a year, but I finally got the chance to sit down and finally read it. I’d heard a lot about it, because there was a movie starring the ever-so-famous Gong Yoo, and because it stirred an entire feminist debate in the country, one that exposed the misogyny rooted in Korean history. As I read it, I had many different thoughts about what was going on, and I was honestly kind of conflicted about the hype around this book. I see why it’s an important novel in the grand scheme of things, but I also wanted more from it. Purchase a copy of the book break this down by category. Book BlurbIn a small, tidy apartment on the outskirts of the frenzied metropolis of Seoul lives Kim Jiyoung. A thirtysomething-year-old “millennial everywoman,” she has recently left her white-collar desk job—in order to care for her newborn daughter full-time—as so many Korean women are expected to do. But she quickly begins to exhibit strange symptoms that alarm her husband, parents, and in-laws Jiyoung impersonates the voices of other women—alive and even dead, both known and unknown to her. As she plunges deeper into this psychosis, her discomfited husband sends her to a male a chilling, eerily truncated third-person voice, Jiyoung’s entire life is recounted to the psychiatrist—a narrative infused with disparate elements of frustration, perseverance, and submission. Born in 1982 and given the most common name for Korean baby girls, Jiyoung quickly becomes the unfavored sister to her princeling little brother. Always, her behavior is policed by the male figures around her—from the elementary school teachers who enforce strict uniforms for girls, to the coworkers who install a hidden camera in the women’s restroom and post their photos online. In her father’s eyes, it is Jiyoung’s fault that men harass her late at night; in her husband’s eyes, it is Jiyoung’s duty to forsake her career to take care of him and their child—to put them painfully common life is juxtaposed against a backdrop of an advancing Korea, as it abandons “family planning” birth control policies and passes new legislation against gender discrimination. But can her doctor flawlessly, completely cure her, or even discover what truly ails her?Content/PlotKim Ji-young is the main character of this novel, and we follow her throughout how she got to be the way she is in the modern era. She was born in an uneventful household, but there was blatant favoritism in the house towards the youngest son. We follow Ji-young from the eras of her life, from childhood, her being bullied in middle school, to college, then to her job at a small marketing firm, then her married life where she quits her job to be a stay-at-home mom. We’re clearly meant to sympathize with Ji-young, because we start out with her being a depressed mother who is embodying the spirits of the women in her past. She is sassing her in-laws in Busan, but she is also has just given up towards her situation. It’s really sad, and if you don’t get it, you don’t get it. This is the situation of women not only in Korea, but throughout the world. We follow her throughout her life. That’s basically the novel. She is a kid bullied by the boy who likes her, she goes to college to study marketing, struggles to break into the workforce because of her gender. We have a bunch of statistics and studies cited in classic Chicago style at the bottom of the pages, giving us as readers a glimpse into the reality of the situation. This isn’t just fiction. This is the story of many women throughout Korea. Characters Kim Ji-young, in my opinion, is quite a universal character, despite the novel’s Korean context. She is a depressed mother who has quit her job in order to care for her newborn daughter, and, suddenly, she finds that her life lacks a purpose upon quitting her job. We get such a hyper focus on Ji-young, one that made me a bit sad and frustrated at times. I was really interested in her sister because she gave up on her dreams of broadcast journalism in order to become a teacher, which is what her mother had pushed her towards. Ji-young and her mother, in the novel, claim that this is because this is truly what her sister wanted. But is it really? We don’t hear much of her siblings outside of the childhood arc, and I wanted to know more about them. I also wished we saw more of Jung Dae-hyun, Ji-young’s husband. Story-wise, we jump from her dating several different men, then we randomly are placed into a scenario where she is engaged to Dae-hyun. Dae-hyun, too, is clearly an important part of her life, but we don’t get to see their meeting, and he obviously cares somewhat, as he took her to a psychiatrist. Writing Style As for overall structure, this is set up in the basic three-arc structure, and it is previous obvious from the way the novel itself is formatted. We start the beginning of the novel from the current era, as Ji-young seems to embody the women from her past and lash out against the patriarchal figures in her life. This is in third-person omniscient narrator, which is why we get such a focus on Ji-young as a character. We are tracking her throughout her life, and we get a small glimpse into her head, but, as a character, we only really get to see her fleshed out as an individual. That really got to me, because while I do love how we get a little bit about the female office manager or the friend she had in college, I wanted it to go deeper. We get one woman’s life, but there are so many other stories she herself is shielded from. Like what if Ji-young had more meaningful dialogue about all of this? Speaking of dialogue, there was very little of it throughout the novel. I found that super interesting as a writer, because often we are told that dialogue is a necessity to continue. Something I also found really interesting was the incorporation of actual statistics and studies from academic studies about the status of women in Korea. As a researcher myself, I appreciate it, but if I were a casual reader, I’m not too sure if that would’ve made sense in the placement of the novel. It’s something we’re not used to as readers, I feel like. I also was confused at the ending—we switch to the psychiatrist’s POV in first person. That really confused the heck out of me, and it was a struggle to get through it, because, for the first time, we get a man’s thoughts. Overall Thoughts This was a pretty short read. I’m a fast reader, so by sitting down and actually focusing on it, I managed to finish the entire book by the end of a single night. It’s a good, and very important story to tell, but I wanted so much more from the novel, just like I said before. It’s a bit short for a novel, and I don’t know how exactly I feel about that. I totally get that this is supposed to be representative of so many women’s experiences, but Ji-young just kinda comes across as a bit naive. And, perhaps, that’s the irony in all of this, that she noticed and saw that so many women weren’t getting to live the lives they truly deserved, but also continued to go down this path of a society built for men. It’s super depressing, just like life, to see her fall to the system at the end of the day without a fight. She does say she fought her husband against this, but I honestly would’ve preferred to see her keep fighting until the end. It’s an interesting and decent read, but I wouldn’t classify it as a really good one. It will, however, be a good case study novel for gender studies and history students. As a casual reader, I wouldn’t be like “hell yeah” to this novel, but instead I found the academic part of me more interested in the novel as a case study.

If you have already watched the movie, please continue reading. If you haven’t watched the movie yet, you can still continue reading or you can come back to the review later.What I loved about the movie-The movie is adapted from the novel and they have presented it beautifully. The movie is fabulously made. It's every woman's story, isn't it? All of ours. My sister suggested that I read this book and I loved it with all my heart. And the movie, I loved it just as much. All the additions in the movie blended seamlessly into the story. The movie does justice to the book. I wouldn't say tribute but the book and the movie are a gift to the women around the are addressed as someone's mother, someone's wife, someone's daughter, etc. We women want to be all that and someone else, someone much more. We want to be ourselves and feel enough. We do not need to be embarrassed, do not need to feel less, and do not need to feel like we owe our lives to anyone we be proud to to be born as Women? Shouldn't others be proud that we were born as a woman too?The world convinces you into thinking that you are not enough, that you need to compromise for someone else's benefit. If I continue to live the way others expect me to, I would feel like I am living in someone else's body, living someone else’s have a lot of empathy for each other. I watched an advertisement a while ago where two women are seen complementing each other out of the blue. A kid watching this entire scene asks them why they were doing so, and one of the women replies by saying that it's us women who need to uplift each the Characters, the Actors, the Writer and the DirectorThe MVPs of the book are Cho Nam-joo, the author and all the women characters that she poured so much life into. And the MVPs of the movie are director Kim Do-young and all the women characters. Each woman in the movie has so much to tell and so much to teach. Jung Yu-mi as Kim Ji-young and Kim Mi-kyung as Mi-sook are so pure and raw. Movies like this prove how extraordinary these women are as actors and as individuals in general. They are so imperfectly perfect in their portrayals, of the lives and the struggles of all the women out there and they are the best at representing are a few changes in the movie compared to the movie. Gong Yoo's character Dae-hyun is extremely supportive in the movie, in spite of all the inhibitions he holds and all the prejudices he has. Dae-hyun is willing to change himself and his thinking and support his wife and her growth despite the struggles they are going to face together. Gong Yoo is admirable in his portrayal of movie showed a change in the attitude and behaviour of Ji-young's father and brother and it is such a wonderful addition as movie consists of a phenomenal star cast and each and every actor is Kim Do-young- I do not have enough words to express my gratitude to Kim Do-young for creating this beautiful piece of art. It takes a lot of courage to take up a topic as sensitive as Kim Ji-young and put it out into the world. She is representing all the women and the movie is like a gift from a strong, talented, brave and hardworking woman to the women of the world. I am looking forward to more amazing and extraordinary work from director Kim Do-young because the world needs them more than I can all the Women of the world,Thank you for teaching me that Women are amazing human beings. Thank you for teaching me that Women are strong, independent and courageous and when they are supported, uplifted, encouraged and empowered, they are capable of greater you are a book lover please do read the book and also watch the movie. But if movies are your thing, I highly recommend that you watch this astounding creation.

Kim Ji-Young: Born 1982" is one of the rare dramas to join the list. The main protagonist Kim Ji-young (Jung Yu-mi) was the wife of Jung Dae-hyun (Gong Yoo) and the mother of a cute toddler daughter. She had to give up her office job to be a full-time mother. 9/10 Bravo for the actor and actress for a tremendous storyline movie This storyline is really tremendous and its although not the one of the top best of my favourites but it indeed already caught my attention of a well made movie from the director, acting team and well written story. This definitely deserve to be on one of the top movies in Korea between 2019 and 2020. This story also touches the real society in Korea and a lot of advance countries too share the same problems. From my knowledge, a lot of countries are far worse on these problems. Gender discrimination is so huge and either worse than or comparable to racism or religion differences. This movie reminds us man to be more mature and to accept those females challenges. As a male, I admit that I always see that males use sex differences to avoid competition with the females. Males can be jealous, anxious and desperate as the females because we are all humans too. 13 out of 13 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 9/10 Speak for girls. It is said that after the publication of the novel and the release of the film, the majority of south Korean men still launched an endless online abuse and boycott, so it is conceivable that in Asia, the status of women is so low that even though some people have awakened, most people still feel accustomed to rights are not just a "METOO" movement. They are needed in every aspect of society, from the home to the hope everyone, women can speak for themselves, and men can speak for women, as a talk show host urged on the program if you keep silent and think it's not your business, then you are an accomplice. 35 out of 37 found this helpful.

It highlights several social issues for woman career, dream, self-dependent, social/peer pressure, social expectation of 'what a good wife/good woman should be/act by presenting us the life of Kim Ji-Young, young wife lived with her little daughter and the story,the characters in it overcame the issues in quite realistic way that maybe some of us can relate to our actual life.

'Kim Ji-Young, Born 1982' is based on a fiction novel by Cho Nam-joo that was published in October 2016. Cho only took two months to write the novel as the character's life relates to her own life. She mentioned that "Kim Ji-young's life isn't much different from the one I have lived. That's why I was able to write so quickly without much preparation."The novel is a critique of the patriarchal system that is still very much alive in South Korea's women's lives that depicts what happens from childhood to adulthood after marriage. The lead actor Gong Yoo and actress Jung Yu-mi were brilliant in the film. Even from the opening scene, we can already sense the tension in this film. This film would like to also show how being a stay-at-home mother is never an easy feat. Everyone will have a desire to accomplish things outside private life, however, this is easier for men than it is for women. A secret that is often kept secret is the fact that most women go through depression while trying to be a good mother. This film explored that taboo subject. 13 out of 16 found this helpful.

Permalink 8/10 for everyone in the world Warning Spoilers "Jin Zhiying Born in 1982" describes a Korean woman born in 1982, who lived to speak in the tone of her mother and school sister in 2019, bringing out the whole story. And Jin Zhiying is the name of the Korean vegetable market, so it also has the meaning for all "Jin Zhiying". I am interested in this movie because I read this book before the movie was released, but because the chronology in the book is interspersed, and not only the heroine Kim Ji-young, but also the story of her mother, plus I am intermittently Reading this book, it is easy to forget the details or the plot in front, so I didn't understand the chronology of the book very well at the time. After watching the video, I did clarify a lot of things that I didn't understand, although the movie has some plot adaptations. The female's name became someone's wife and the child's mother. This is the plot that I most impressed when I was reading a novel. I don't know when Jin Zhiying's name became Mrs. Zheng and Mother Yaying. Every night at 8 o'clock in the evening, all the people waiting for the garbage truck under my building are women, of course there are also men, but the ratio is about eight to two, and women are called Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Chen..., so I am right This part is quite impressive. Also, when Zhiying was pregnant, Dae-hyun said to her, "Giving birth to a child will not change anything." Later, when Dae-hyun saw that Ji-young was tired, he said to Ji-young, "I will help you with housework" and "Mom". The clips are the clips in this movie that I was surprised and didn't believe ?. But one of the scenes that impressed me the most was the part where Jiyoung's face was radiant when he got better at the end. His skin changed from the original wrinkle to luminous, and his eyes became piercing and piercing. The angle of light just made Jiyoung. Standing in the bright place of the bed curtain, with the circle in slightly from the bottom up, I think this is probably the most successful scene of this movie. There is no gorgeous mirroring and editing in the movie, and even the soundtrack has only one song, but this can make it closer to our daily life without losing the standard of the movie. The two protagonists always mentioned the word ordinary when they were interviewed. I hope this movie can give people comfort and reflect on family, parents... and other issues that are usually not taken into the plots presented in this movie are all possible and happening, and they are all examples of what happened to my mother or my side, so I don't think the movie is too deliberately arranged, but Koreans are required to receive and Acknowledging that this is a big challenge for them related to nationality, and that the film vilifies men. And South Korea's patriarchal society, coupled with deteriorating feminists and some misogynistic people, made Zheng Youmei and Kong Liu no less opposed than supporting voices when the news of the movie came out. Social software also used a lot of offensiveness. watching the movie, I thought about whether this is considered a South Korean film to be transformed into justice ? 5 out of 5 found this helpful.

And yet even in other Asian countries may sense similar feelings as most agricultural economy driven countries treat differently boys to girls. Even raised as kids, we sense the difference. Moms never come to dinning board and always buried in preparation of breakfast, lunch, dinner and tones of dishes. The movie generate discussion around women's right and how bias grown among society. Even today, our elder generation may still press by their old thoughts against young ones. Not only work, raising kids, mental health will you find in the movie but also how those small events trigger deep sorrow and emptiness in a mom. Worth watching and discuss how to treat people around differently without unconscious bias. 8 out of 9 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

Permalink 8/10 Cinema Omnivore - Kim Ji-young Born 1982 2019 "Kim's directorial guideline is in accord with a recognizable day-to-day urban view without much specificity - occasionally warm light shots through and soft-focus pleasantness takes hold, and munificently permits actors to perform for all they are worth. Among which, Jung Yu-mi fully lives up to or even surpasses one's expectation as Ji-young, turbulence flows and ebbs underneath her docile comportment with such exquisite potency. Holding Ji-young's dignity intact, Jung registers chronic sufferance with piercing empathy and devastating impact, her excellence reaches its crashing crescendo during the key sequences with cracking screen partners like Gong Yoo, who voluntarily plays the second banana with beguiling benevolence, and Kim Mi-kyung, who plays Ji-young's hardworking mother and whose outpourings are roundly soul-shattering."read my full review on my blog Cinema Omnivore, thanks. 0 out of 2 found this helpful.

I loved how this movie covered topics like gender roles, gender inequality, and things that women struggle with in our current society. This film was able to cover all those topics accurately, but not in an aggressive way. The acting was phenomenal too, I cried so much in one of the scenes because the acting made the scene much more realistic and believable. I loved the wholesome moments as well as it reminded me of family and friendships. More films like this would be great to spread awareness one situations like this, just like how this movie so perfectly did. 0 out of 0 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 5/10 Meh Warning Spoilers Slow paced movie with no intense climax. Just a regular psychological case with no deep approach. Nothing climax,the storyline is easy to guess.. The pace becomes much much faster at the end with no further detail stories and of course, no surprise. 11 out of 55 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

Slowly unravelling the patriarchy in a common woman’s life against the backdrop of a developed South Korea, Kim Ji-young Born 1982’ is a story millions of women can relate to. A combination of facts and fiction, it works to show the pressing reality of women in Korea and, at large, the world. While the author Cho Nam-joo faced huge backlash for the novella, the footnotes backing up the statistics she has used stand by her against every negative commentary regarding the story’s accuracy. Considered to be a large inspiration for the MeToo movement in South Korea following the murder of a woman at the Gangnam metro station in 2016, it’s an international bestseller and one of the first feminist writings emerging from the narrative starts with Kim Ji-young’s husband observing a gradual change in Kim Ji-young’s behaviour. This change is unusual and uncharacteristic of Ji-young. What ticked it off? While the reasons were clear to me from the very beginning, people around Ji-young are baffled. Without warning, Ji-young loses her sense of self and talks and behaves as if possessed by the spirit of other women in her life, alive or dead. A scary thing for her husband to witness. A circumstance they fail to unravelling the patriarchy in a common woman’s life against the backdrop of a developed South Korea, Kim Ji-young Born 1982’ is a story millions of women can relate to. A combination of facts and fiction, it works to show the pressing reality of women in Korea and, at large, the world. While the author Cho Nam-joo faced huge backlash for the novella, the footnotes backing up the statistics she has used stand by her against every negative commentary regarding the story’s the reason behind the sudden change in Ji-young’s behaviour can easily be traced back to institutionalised patriarchy. The story works to cover plenty of complex yet fundamental themes and seems like a true story brought to life. After the initial observations of her husband, the narrative proceeds in the third person and talks of Ji-young’s life at different stages, at points also talking of the difficult life her mother had to lead. From Ji-young’s childhood, we can see that there was a clear distinction between the girl children and the boy in the difference in treatment was extremely normalised to the extent that it continued to be the natural cycle of everything. Both the sisters share a room because the brother needs his own space. The grandmother coddled the brother and scolded the sisters. The brother always got more, while the sisters shared everything they ever got. It was obvious the boy was loved more. It was clear he was the family’s pride even before he came into the Ji-young’s mother gave birth to the two sisters, everyone hoped the third one would be a boy. But when the mother was pregnant with her third baby, multiple factors led her to believe the third child would yet again be a girl. Out of desperation and unsolicited pressure, she aborted her third baby. Because who can explain to these people that a family with only daughters is also complete and as enriched as one with a son? Following these unfortunate circumstances, Ji-young’s mother gave birth to the family’s most adored baby boy. Every action in such a constricted family dynamic results in a natural flow of oppression. Ji-young and her sister, Kim Eun-young, constantly make sacrifices from their childhood whilst never questioning or realising why. The same goes for their mother, who had to give up her schooling and work to ensure that her brothers could go to school and be the shining stars they needed to be. Today, while her daughters have more choices, the chains of patriarchy, directly and indirectly, bind them difference in treatment was extremely normalised to the extent that it continued to be the natural cycle of everything. Both the sisters share a room because the brother needs his own space. The grandmother coddled the brother and scolded the sisters. The brother always got more, while the sisters shared everything they ever got. It was obvious the boy was loved more. It was clear he was the family’s pride even before he came into the Ji-young goes through an episode of harassment while coming home after dark from an academy far from her house, her father makes it about her rather than empathising with her daughter. Eventually, it becomes her fault because she came back late, because she goes to an academy far from home and because maybe her skirt was too short. But the perpetrator?According to decades worth of information, statements by public figures, and the family environment of millions of women, the victim is always at fault. Until recently, no one tried to question the lack of critical thinking and logic behind these accusations. Why can’t the world be made safer for women? Why isn’t the perpetrator not at fault? Why should Ji-young backtrack on her education for this? Multiple questions were left it doesn’t end here. As Ji-young reaches adulthood and starts working, we see her push as hard as she can, yet no amount of hard work can help her push past the sexist boundaries drawn by her superiors to keep their higher teams devoid of female workers who they believe will ultimately leave one day after marriage or after giving birth. A reality Ji-young experiences as Ji-young gets pregnant with her daughter, there is a clash between her and her husband. They try their best to work it out so that Ji-young can go back to work after her maternity leaves end, but circumstances ensure that she is the one to give up her career. The explanation is simple, given the gender pay gap, Ji-young can’t make as much money as her husband, and the amount she currently earns can not support the three of them. All things considered, Ji-young gives up the job she loves with a broken heart. Throughout every one, her husband presents himself as someone who understands, someone who wants to help but unsurprisingly fails to do so. After a point, Ji-young’s suffering is something she finds herself unable to share. When her friend from work visits her, the current climate of the workplace is something hard to read without feeling uncomfortable. This part talks of the spycam situation in most of Asia and its impact on the in our world, society somehow finds a way to blame this on women as well. In the story, the workers’ only female superior fights alongside all the women of the office. The heads want to make the happenings non-existent and quiet down the this, the female boss and multiple women workers leave the company. While Ji-young is partly relieved that she wasn’t a part of the company during this, her heart aches for the trouble women have to go through to be independent and make a name for now, her daughter is growing well and healthy, but in her heart Ji-young is lonely. She feels a lack of purpose in her life. The insults of people take a toll on her, but there is a lack of understanding from those around her because, traditionally, you are not supposed to talk about these things. You suffer quietly because that’s how it everyone seems to collectively not understand that Ji-young’s condition’ is a by-product of patriarchy’s centuries worth of oppression. Any community that has been historically oppressed and has been made to feel weak and without a voice struggles to find a way out of the systemic oppression in their life. Ji-young is lonely and struggling. No one is willing to understand what she wants, yet they claim to know what’s best for she visits a psychiatrist, a man, he narrates his own wife’s story, who gave up her career after birth. A maths genius who now finds joy in solving her young son’s maths workbooks because that is the only thing she can control. The psychiatrist feels unhappy with his wife’s state and says he understands what Ji-young is going empathetic modern man? Yet in the next breath, he says how female workers leaving because of pregnancy and motherhood need to be replaced by someone more permanent, aka, a man. The psychiatrist truly comes full he wants to do something for his wife, he can not do it. Moreover, he practices the same patterns that became the barrier in his wife’s life in the first place. The story ends in a full circle presenting an end with the implication that Ji-young’s life will not get read Inside The Exploding Anti-Feminist Movement Of South KoreaThe movie adaptation of the book of the same title and the actors in the movie faced a huge backlash as well.
