Romance(2006)

Romance is a South Korean film about a woman suffocating under her husband's obsessive control. Yoon-hee endures relentless emotional abuse masked as devotion, her life reduced to a struggle for basic autonomy. When she attempts to escape through suicide, a stranger intervenes, pulling her back from the brink. What begins as rescue becomes something more complicated—a connection that offers both refuge and new entanglement. The film explores how love can become a cage, and whether salvation from one trap might lead to another. Raw and unflinching, Romance examines the psychological toll of possession disguised as passion, and the fragile hope that emerges when someone finally sees a woman's pain.
