Comments: Nothing better than a movie about an average person doing mundane things

Ju-ri is set up as an isolate beer drinking, cigarette smoking gamer who appears to be on a collision course with her (so Koreanly) frank (and a little overbearing?) mother who hassles her about smoking and playing games

Her mom is going to sell Ju-ri's apartment out from under her if Ju-ri doesn't take over the kimbap shop when said mother takes time off to visit her own old and ailing mother

But something's off. Normal people drink and smoke and have disagreements with their parents. They can be likeable --best moment in the film is when mom tells Ju-ri she's adorable-- and actually love the parents they disagree with

I loved the way this film never let conflict or shortcomings rise to the surface or get in the way of getting mundane things done. It's a covid movie but not really. Covid is there but doesn't get in the way

When you have dialog like:

- you're not supposed to yell in the mountains
- why not?
- because it scares the animals
- that makes sense

and you let that last line hang there for an extra moment, you're rolling


hat tip to @sci-fi wasabi for calling attention to this. never would have known about it otherwise

Summary: COVID-19 is rampant in the world. Juri, a 25-year-old young girl, stops socializing and has been just staying at home. Her mother, Young-shim struggles against the hard season, still running her Kim-bob place. One day, Young-shim leaves to take care of her sick mother, and Juri takes charge of the restaurant unexpectedly
