Concerning My Daughter
Three women search for common ground and acceptance in this beautifully affecting intergenerational drama, based on Kim Hye-jin’s award-winning bestseller.
A widowed caregiver’s (Oh Min-ae) regimented life is upended when her university professor daughter, Green (Im Se-mi) moves home with her long-term lesbian partner, Rain (Ha Yoon-kyung). Unwilling to accept their relationship, she throws her energy into caring for her favourite patient and fighting her employer’s bureaucratic heartlessness. When Green’s colleague is dismissed for being gay, she leads a protest at the university that could derail her career. Caught in the middle, Rain becomes an unexpected bridge between mother and daughter, who have more in common than they’re willing to admit.
