Korean Cinema NOW | Concerning My Daughter | 딸에 대하여

This poster features a close-up of the lead actress, Bae Jong-ok, portraying a middle-aged woman with short, dark hair, seated in what appears to be a hospital or clinic waiting area. She is wearing a simple, dark navy-blue top and is holding a silver can (possibly a beverage) in her hands, which rest on her lap. She is positioned in the lower center, looking intently off to the right of the frame with a serious, contemplative, or slightly worried expression. The background is simple and sparse: a light, faded pink-white wall above a wooden paneling strip, with the backs of dark chairs visible to her left. The title, "Concerning My Daughter," is centered in large brown text above her head, with the Korean title "딸에 대하여" directly above it. The overall minimal design and the actor's intense gaze establish a tone of quiet, personal drama centered on the themes of motherhood and reflection implied by the title.

Concerning My Daughter is a powerful 2023 drama directed by Lee Mi-rang and based on the best-selling novel by Kim Hye-jin. The film offers a nuanced look at generational conflict, societal prejudice, and unconditional love through the eyes of a deeply conflicted single mother (Oh Min-ae) who works as a caregiver in a nursing home. Her already precarious life is further complicated when her lesbian daughter (Ha Yoon-kyung), recently unemployed, moves back home with her partner, forcing the mother to confront her conservative views on family and identity. The film has been highly praised on the festival circuit, winning multiple awards, including the CGV Award and the Actor of the Year Award for lead actress Oh Min-ae at the 28th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), and the Audience Award at the 49th Seoul Independent Film Festival.

Directed by Lee Mi-rang
Presented in Korean with English subtitles
