What a Man Wants

Watch Trailer
2018 · 100 min Comedy
6.7 / 10 · TMDB

Seok-Geun, a middle-aged taxi driver on Jeju Island, has perfected the art of cheating on his wife, Dam-Deok, while genuinely loving her. His days are a carefully managed cycle of secret rendezvous, flimsy alibis, and guilty homecomings. Against the island's deceptively tranquil backdrop of coastal roads and volcanic vistas, the film unravels the absurd, repetitive choreography of infidelity, where every scenic route holds the potential for a new flirtation or a disastrous slip-up.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film brilliantly walks the tightrope between outright farce and melancholic domestic drama, framing infidelity as a tedious habit rather than a grand passion. Its comedy stems from painfully recognizable situations and the protagonist's increasingly desperate improvisations.

What lingers after the laughter fades is a surprisingly poignant meditation on routine, commitment, and the quiet compromises that define long-term relationships. It’s a sly, clever study of the lies we sustain and the truths we quietly accept. — MovieFinder Editorial

The constant hum of a taxi engine, the sticky salt air, and the weary silence of a shared home.
