Describe the status of South Korean women after the Korean War. There seems to be a skeptical attitude towards women who strive for independence and choose to work outside. OH Sun young, the wife of a university professor, discovered a new world after starting working at a boutique. She began to enjoy wearing dresses that highlighted her own characteristics, earning high sales profits, and dancing in the arms of men outside of her husband. However, the story took a turning point as she was caught in a hotel with a boutique owner who had been luring her. Since novelist JUNG Bee-suk wrote this series on "Seoul News," "Lady Liberty" has been a famous story. Despite controversies among writers and critics over moral issues, this book was published and produced into a play by the theater company Shinhyup. The film also set a new box office record of 130000, and its success has brought the prosperity of melodrama. It has been proven that its cultural influence is enough to shake the foundation of Korean cinema, as there have been five sequels and remakes since the original version.
