Sinopsis momentánea: Pharmacist Kim has 4 daughters. His family has lived in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-Do for generations.  A Korean traditional pharmacy is the family business. His mother poisoned herself. The family’s fortunes have waned since the opening of the port during Japanese colonial rule. Kim hopes to make his third daughter, Yong-ran, marry Ki-du, who runs a fishing business, though she is already in love with a servant, Han-dol. Yong-ran gets caught by her father, after he follows Yong-bin, his first daughter, in the middle of the night. Because of this, Han-dol is cast aside and Yong-ran marries Choi Yeon-hak, but he is both an opium addict and impotent. Meanwhile, his first daughter, widow Yong-sook is arrested for abandoning her child in a pond.

He aprovechado la traducción de Flautero para poder verla. La película me ha gustado por encima de la media, drama familiar con final esperanzador, bien construido, además cuenta con unas destacables interpretaciones. Seguramente la volveré a ver más adelante, creo que me he quedado corto en la valoración, tiene algo... no descarto que acabe en mi lista de favoritas, intentaré verla nuevamente antes que acabe este año y con mayor detenimiento.
