A review of Cho Nam-joo’s Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 I’ve had this book for over a year, but I finally got the chance to sit down and finally read it. I’d heard a lot about it, because there was a movie starring the ever-so-famous Gong Yoo, and because it stirred an entire feminist debate in the country, one that exposed the misogyny rooted in Korean history. As I read it, I had many different thoughts about what was going on, and I was honestly kind of conflicted about the hype around this book. I see why it’s an important novel in the grand scheme of things, but I also wanted more from it. Purchase a copy of the book break this down by category. Book BlurbIn a small, tidy apartment on the outskirts of the frenzied metropolis of Seoul lives Kim Jiyoung. A thirtysomething-year-old “millennial everywoman,” she has recently left her white-collar desk job—in order to care for her newborn daughter full-time—as so many Korean women are expected to do. But she quickly begins to exhibit strange symptoms that alarm her husband, parents, and in-laws Jiyoung impersonates the voices of other women—alive and even dead, both known and unknown to her. As she plunges deeper into this psychosis, her discomfited husband sends her to a male a chilling, eerily truncated third-person voice, Jiyoung’s entire life is recounted to the psychiatrist—a narrative infused with disparate elements of frustration, perseverance, and submission. Born in 1982 and given the most common name for Korean baby girls, Jiyoung quickly becomes the unfavored sister to her princeling little brother. Always, her behavior is policed by the male figures around her—from the elementary school teachers who enforce strict uniforms for girls, to the coworkers who install a hidden camera in the women’s restroom and post their photos online. In her father’s eyes, it is Jiyoung’s fault that men harass her late at night; in her husband’s eyes, it is Jiyoung’s duty to forsake her career to take care of him and their child—to put them painfully common life is juxtaposed against a backdrop of an advancing Korea, as it abandons “family planning” birth control policies and passes new legislation against gender discrimination. But can her doctor flawlessly, completely cure her, or even discover what truly ails her?Content/PlotKim Ji-young is the main character of this novel, and we follow her throughout how she got to be the way she is in the modern era. She was born in an uneventful household, but there was blatant favoritism in the house towards the youngest son. We follow Ji-young from the eras of her life, from childhood, her being bullied in middle school, to college, then to her job at a small marketing firm, then her married life where she quits her job to be a stay-at-home mom. We’re clearly meant to sympathize with Ji-young, because we start out with her being a depressed mother who is embodying the spirits of the women in her past. She is sassing her in-laws in Busan, but she is also has just given up towards her situation. It’s really sad, and if you don’t get it, you don’t get it. This is the situation of women not only in Korea, but throughout the world. We follow her throughout her life. That’s basically the novel. She is a kid bullied by the boy who likes her, she goes to college to study marketing, struggles to break into the workforce because of her gender. We have a bunch of statistics and studies cited in classic Chicago style at the bottom of the pages, giving us as readers a glimpse into the reality of the situation. This isn’t just fiction. This is the story of many women throughout Korea. Characters Kim Ji-young, in my opinion, is quite a universal character, despite the novel’s Korean context. She is a depressed mother who has quit her job in order to care for her newborn daughter, and, suddenly, she finds that her life lacks a purpose upon quitting her job. We get such a hyper focus on Ji-young, one that made me a bit sad and frustrated at times. I was really interested in her sister because she gave up on her dreams of broadcast journalism in order to become a teacher, which is what her mother had pushed her towards. Ji-young and her mother, in the novel, claim that this is because this is truly what her sister wanted. But is it really? We don’t hear much of her siblings outside of the childhood arc, and I wanted to know more about them. I also wished we saw more of Jung Dae-hyun, Ji-young’s husband. Story-wise, we jump from her dating several different men, then we randomly are placed into a scenario where she is engaged to Dae-hyun. Dae-hyun, too, is clearly an important part of her life, but we don’t get to see their meeting, and he obviously cares somewhat, as he took her to a psychiatrist. Writing Style As for overall structure, this is set up in the basic three-arc structure, and it is previous obvious from the way the novel itself is formatted. We start the beginning of the novel from the current era, as Ji-young seems to embody the women from her past and lash out against the patriarchal figures in her life. This is in third-person omniscient narrator, which is why we get such a focus on Ji-young as a character. We are tracking her throughout her life, and we get a small glimpse into her head, but, as a character, we only really get to see her fleshed out as an individual. That really got to me, because while I do love how we get a little bit about the female office manager or the friend she had in college, I wanted it to go deeper. We get one woman’s life, but there are so many other stories she herself is shielded from. Like what if Ji-young had more meaningful dialogue about all of this? Speaking of dialogue, there was very little of it throughout the novel. I found that super interesting as a writer, because often we are told that dialogue is a necessity to continue. Something I also found really interesting was the incorporation of actual statistics and studies from academic studies about the status of women in Korea. As a researcher myself, I appreciate it, but if I were a casual reader, I’m not too sure if that would’ve made sense in the placement of the novel. It’s something we’re not used to as readers, I feel like. I also was confused at the ending—we switch to the psychiatrist’s POV in first person. That really confused the heck out of me, and it was a struggle to get through it, because, for the first time, we get a man’s thoughts. Overall Thoughts This was a pretty short read. I’m a fast reader, so by sitting down and actually focusing on it, I managed to finish the entire book by the end of a single night. It’s a good, and very important story to tell, but I wanted so much more from the novel, just like I said before. It’s a bit short for a novel, and I don’t know how exactly I feel about that. I totally get that this is supposed to be representative of so many women’s experiences, but Ji-young just kinda comes across as a bit naive. And, perhaps, that’s the irony in all of this, that she noticed and saw that so many women weren’t getting to live the lives they truly deserved, but also continued to go down this path of a society built for men. It’s super depressing, just like life, to see her fall to the system at the end of the day without a fight. She does say she fought her husband against this, but I honestly would’ve preferred to see her keep fighting until the end. It’s an interesting and decent read, but I wouldn’t classify it as a really good one. It will, however, be a good case study novel for gender studies and history students. As a casual reader, I wouldn’t be like “hell yeah” to this novel, but instead I found the academic part of me more interested in the novel as a case study. Rating Follow me on Instagram or Goodreads below for more updates! 9/10 Bravo for the actor and actress for a tremendous storyline movie This storyline is really tremendous and its although not the one of the top best of my favourites but it indeed already caught my attention of a well made movie from the director, acting team and well written story. This definitely deserve to be on one of the top movies in Korea between 2019 and 2020. This story also touches the real society in Korea and a lot of advance countries too share the same problems. From my knowledge, a lot of countries are far worse on these problems. Gender discrimination is so huge and either worse than or comparable to racism or religion differences. This movie reminds us man to be more mature and to accept those females challenges. As a male, I admit that I always see that males use sex differences to avoid competition with the females. Males can be jealous, anxious and desperate as the females because we are all humans too. 13 out of 13 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 9/10 Speak for girls. It is said that after the publication of the novel and the release of the film, the majority of south Korean men still launched an endless online abuse and boycott, so it is conceivable that in Asia, the status of women is so low that even though some people have awakened, most people still feel accustomed to rights are not just a "METOO" movement. They are needed in every aspect of society, from the home to the hope everyone, women can speak for themselves, and men can speak for women, as a talk show host urged on the program if you keep silent and think it's not your business, then you are an accomplice. 35 out of 37 found this helpful.

It highlights several social issues for woman career, dream, self-dependent, social/peer pressure, social expectation of 'what a good wife/good woman should be/act by presenting us the life of Kim Ji-Young, young wife lived with her little daughter and the story,the characters in it overcame the issues in quite realistic way that maybe some of us can relate to our actual life.

'Kim Ji-Young, Born 1982' is based on a fiction novel by Cho Nam-joo that was published in October 2016. Cho only took two months to write the novel as the character's life relates to her own life. She mentioned that "Kim Ji-young's life isn't much different from the one I have lived. That's why I was able to write so quickly without much preparation."The novel is a critique of the patriarchal system that is still very much alive in South Korea's women's lives that depicts what happens from childhood to adulthood after marriage. The lead actor Gong Yoo and actress Jung Yu-mi were brilliant in the film. Even from the opening scene, we can already sense the tension in this film. This film would like to also show how being a stay-at-home mother is never an easy feat. Everyone will have a desire to accomplish things outside private life, however, this is easier for men than it is for women. A secret that is often kept secret is the fact that most women go through depression while trying to be a good mother. This film explored that taboo subject. 13 out of 16 found this helpful.

Permalink 8/10 for everyone in the world Warning Spoilers "Jin Zhiying Born in 1982" describes a Korean woman born in 1982, who lived to speak in the tone of her mother and school sister in 2019, bringing out the whole story. And Jin Zhiying is the name of the Korean vegetable market, so it also has the meaning for all "Jin Zhiying". I am interested in this movie because I read this book before the movie was released, but because the chronology in the book is interspersed, and not only the heroine Kim Ji-young, but also the story of her mother, plus I am intermittently Reading this book, it is easy to forget the details or the plot in front, so I didn't understand the chronology of the book very well at the time. After watching the video, I did clarify a lot of things that I didn't understand, although the movie has some plot adaptations. The female's name became someone's wife and the child's mother. This is the plot that I most impressed when I was reading a novel. I don't know when Jin Zhiying's name became Mrs. Zheng and Mother Yaying. Every night at 8 o'clock in the evening, all the people waiting for the garbage truck under my building are women, of course there are also men, but the ratio is about eight to two, and women are called Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Chen..., so I am right This part is quite impressive. Also, when Zhiying was pregnant, Dae-hyun said to her, "Giving birth to a child will not change anything." Later, when Dae-hyun saw that Ji-young was tired, he said to Ji-young, "I will help you with housework" and "Mom". The clips are the clips in this movie that I was surprised and didn't believe ?. But one of the scenes that impressed me the most was the part where Jiyoung's face was radiant when he got better at the end. His skin changed from the original wrinkle to luminous, and his eyes became piercing and piercing. The angle of light just made Jiyoung. Standing in the bright place of the bed curtain, with the circle in slightly from the bottom up, I think this is probably the most successful scene of this movie. There is no gorgeous mirroring and editing in the movie, and even the soundtrack has only one song, but this can make it closer to our daily life without losing the standard of the movie. The two protagonists always mentioned the word ordinary when they were interviewed. I hope this movie can give people comfort and reflect on family, parents... and other issues that are usually not taken into the plots presented in this movie are all possible and happening, and they are all examples of what happened to my mother or my side, so I don't think the movie is too deliberately arranged, but Koreans are required to receive and Acknowledging that this is a big challenge for them related to nationality, and that the film vilifies men. And South Korea's patriarchal society, coupled with deteriorating feminists and some misogynistic people, made Zheng Youmei and Kong Liu no less opposed than supporting voices when the news of the movie came out. Social software also used a lot of offensiveness. watching the movie, I thought about whether this is considered a South Korean film to be transformed into justice ? 5 out of 5 found this helpful.

And yet even in other Asian countries may sense similar feelings as most agricultural economy driven countries treat differently boys to girls. Even raised as kids, we sense the difference. Moms never come to dinning board and always buried in preparation of breakfast, lunch, dinner and tones of dishes. The movie generate discussion around women's right and how bias grown among society. Even today, our elder generation may still press by their old thoughts against young ones. Not only work, raising kids, mental health will you find in the movie but also how those small events trigger deep sorrow and emptiness in a mom. Worth watching and discuss how to treat people around differently without unconscious bias. 8 out of 9 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

Among which, Jung Yu-mi fully lives up to or even surpasses one's expectation as Ji-young, turbulence flows and ebbs underneath her docile comportment with such exquisite potency. Holding Ji-young's dignity intact, Jung registers chronic sufferance with piercing empathy and devastating impact, her excellence reaches its crashing crescendo during the key sequences with cracking screen partners like Gong Yoo, who voluntarily plays the second banana with beguiling benevolence, and Kim Mi-kyung, who plays Ji-young's hardworking mother and whose outpourings are roundly soul-shattering."read my full review on my blog Cinema Omnivore, thanks. 0 out of 2 found this helpful.

Permalink Based off the controversial autobiographical novel of the same name, “Kim Ji-Young, Born 1982” is a heart-wrenching uncovering of what it means to be a woman in a conservative patriarchal society. The movie stars veteran actors Gong Yoo Dae Hyun and Jung Yu-Mi Kim Ji-Young as leads, who have formerly worked together on the award-winning film “Train to Busan”. Following the protagonist Kim Ji-Young in the 80’s, the general storyline revolves around her troubled mental health that causes her to have lapses where she speaks as if she were her deceased grandmother or friend. Given the fame the feminist novel has garnered before the release of this film, it is expected that what matters more is not the storyline, but how the details of the story are presented through the female lens. With a focus on mother figures, the film’s narration forces us to critically examine stereotypical notions of a woman’s duties in the domestic sphere by highlighting its occurrence in daily life. For instance, we constantly see a favouritism towards men displayed by both male and female characters, especially from Dae Hyun’s mother who expects Ji-Young to work tirelessly throughout dinner preparations while her son sits idly. It is likely that many will identify with or have seen similar experiences, making the film’s impact all the more significant without having to explicitly state sexist tendencies of a conservative society. Aside from highlighting prominence of sexism in the everyday, the movie also expertly portrays how society’s patriarchy has progressed through the years. Through interactions between three generations of characters, we get to understand the motivations behind their actions, and the grievances as a result of sexist ideas. The use of Ji-Young’s condition to provide a voice for oppressed women was a well-done narration that gives greater insight into the conservative Korean society. What the film does particularly well is their use of male characters — while it is undeniable that Dae Hyun and Ji-Young’s father care for Ji-Young greatly, they are still susceptible to sexist tendencies that they may not have even been conscious of. This brings into focus that inequality may not always be born from hatred, but from the lack of awareness. The film also has skillful cinematography that leans towards an arthouse style, with jarring transitions that creates tension and draws audiences into the tortured minds of the characters. The only gripe would be that the time skips can cause some confusion in terms of characters; it becomes hard to name who’s who after various characters are introduced in a short time. Aside from that, the film was overall a thought-provoking watch that, while controversial, presents an empathetic depiction of women in Asian society that is not often highlighted. You can expect to become emotional throughout various points of the film, and reflective after. Although not necessarily an exciting movie for mass audiences, it is definitely a gripping watch, especially if feminist topics and societal issues are within your field of interest!
