Program Note
A young man from the countryside struggles to find a job in the city. Secretly in love with the boarding house owner's daughter, he feels too pitiful in his jobless state to confess his feelings. One day, after another failed job interview, he finds a wallet dropped by a drunk man and takes the girl to a café. This story, a poignant social satire comedy, is the original short story for Kang Wooseok feature film I Stand Every Day (1990). (Martin LEE)
