Director Shin Dong Il follows up his acclaimed 2005 debut feature Host & Guest with My Friend & His Wife, which premiered at the Pusan Film Festival in 2006 and finally saw a theatrical release in November 2008. While Host & Guest details the unlikely friendship that develops between an evangelist and a misanthrope, My Friend & His Wife takes a similarly naturalistic and compelling approach to portray the changing relationships among a man, his wife, and his longtime buddy. The film slowly peels away the layers of human nature through the experiences of a simple working man trying to balance his commitments to friend and family, and the murky fallout that dooms them all. Jang Hyeong Seong (Femme Fatale) and Park Hee Soon (Seven Days) deliver outstanding performances as two men who are the best of friends and the worst of enemies, and Hong So Hee (Muoi) plays the woman caught in between. Like Host & Guest, My Friend & His Wife is also notable for its social commentary, effectively voicing the layman's perspective on foreign relations, globalization, economic stratification, and social woes in its revealing dialogue and allegorical story.
Best friends since their army days, Ye Joon (Jang Hyung Sung) and Jae Moon (Park Hee Soon) have made very different lives for themselves. Ye Joon is now a successful businessman with perfectly polished manners and appearances. Jae Moon is a struggling cook with a newborn child and a wife, Ji Sook (Hong So Hee, Muoi), who wants more than her husband can provide. Despite their polar personalities and economic states, nothing can shake Ye Joon and Jae Moon's friendship. When Jae Moon's baby dies because of Ye Joon, Jae Moon even covers for his friend, and ends up in prison. Unaware of the circumstances, Ji Sook starts an affair with Ye Joon.
