In her short directorial career, Ryu Hee Jung has been known to make poignant melodramas dealing with the romantic lives of Korean women; ‘Coffee Time’ (2017) features a housewife trying to deal with a potential new love interest, whereas last year’s ‘3.5th Period’ tells the story of a highschooler catching feelings for a boy in a fantastical realm hidden within their school.
