About Modern Girl
Set during the era when Korea was under Japanese occupation. Shin-Deuk (Jin Ji-Hee) is the daughter of a poor noble family. She married Jong-Suk (Oh Seung-Hoon) at a young age. Her in-laws, who are pro-Japanese, are rich. Her marriage life doesn't go well. Jong-Suk does not like his wife at all. In order to make Jong-Suk like her, Shin-Deuk decides to attend school. There, she falls in love with Woo-Jin (Yun Ji-On). He is a teacher at the school. Shin-Deuk is in love for the first time in her life, but she has a rival. Her rival is her servant Young Yi (Kim Si-Eun).
Directed by Hong Eun-mi, Modern Girl leans on a strong ensemble — Jin Ji-hee, Kim Si-eun, Yun Ji-on — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2020.
