Marriage Meltdown: Neighbors Spill Secrets

Jung-ah, an art instructor, and Hyun-soo, a film director, find their marriage has become cold and distant, marked by separate rooms and a lack of shared humor. Jung-ah attempts to combat marital boredom through interior design, while Hyun-soo employs avoidance tactics. Their stagnant existence takes a dramatic turn when they meet their boisterous upstairs neighbors, Mr. Kim and Su-kyung, whose vibrant lives contrast sharply with their own.

Ha Jung-woo's directorial venture, 'The People Upstairs,' based on the Spanish film 'Sentimental,' centers on the captivating freedom and boldness of the upstairs couple. Their unpredictable nature mesmerizes Jung-ah and Hyun-soo, sparking conversations that strip away pretense. These dialogues range from hilarious to deeply meaningful, pushing the downstairs couple past their breaking points.
