Description:

My Friend & His Wife delves into the complex aftermath of a tragedy involving two close friends, Yejoon and Jaemoon, who served in the military together. Yejoon has become a successful financier, while Jaemoon embraces a simpler life as a cook with his wife Jisook and their newborn. Their lives shatter when Yejoon causes the tragic death of the child.

Unaware of the devastating truth, Jisook is abroad when the incident occurs. Jaemoon, in a selfless act, takes the blame for his son's death and is imprisoned. Shockingly, Jisook, still ignorant of the circumstances, begins an affair with Yejoon, leading to a tangled web of relationships that grow increasingly unclear. The film subtly reveals Yejoon's ruthless egocentricity hidden beneath his refined exterior. Jisook endures profound emotional hardship, eventually embarking on a challenging journey to understand her true feelings and with whom she is to share her future within this unusual human triangle. Its visual minimalism highlights the intricate characterizations and moral dilemmas.
