Lulu2, No, I don't know Rebecca (or anyone in all of South Korea) mimicked the suicide of a character in a vintage, foreign language movie (remade at least 8 times in different cultural genres....Danish, Japanese, American, French etc) with subtitles about older men who can't seem to keep their pants on when a young girl without economic means moves into the household. However, I believe, YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE THE FILM IS RELEVANT.
South Korean "rubber shoe and handkerchief" movies are just boiler plate soap operas and the theme of over half the movies produced after the Korean War.
YOU KNOW.... the Korean War, 38th parallel in the 1950's? If I were to believe the soap opera of the Housemaid was relevant, then I would also have to believe that M.A.S.H. was also a true depiction of American medical field during the Korean War. Bulletin: it ain't so LULU2.....it is just make believe theater. Lulu2, it is OK if you disagree with me. And as a gesture of my willingness to accept criticism, I would gladly encourage you to binge watch all the over-acted
S Korean films, for a week....I'll supply the popcorn and handkerchiefs at my own expense. Lulu2, I read and feel your beliefs...I get it.
