Codfish Circumstances

Synopsis

Forty-something Huh Myung-tae suffers the same humiliation night after night — his wife scolding him for his early finish. After drowning his sorrows at the local bar, he inevitably ends up passed out drunk. Unfortunately, word of Myung-tae’s “problem” has already spread through the entire neighborhood.

One evening, the sympathetic bar owner orders part-timer Go Woo-joo, who also happens to be Myung-tae’s next-door neighbor, to escort the pitiful drunk home. But Woo-joo is fed up: at work he has to hear Myung-tae’s whining, at home he overhears the wife’s endless complaints.

So, half out of frustration and half out of pity, Woo-joo decides to lend Myung-tae a helping hand in his sex life… only to discover this middle-aged man is anything but ordinary.

A ridiculous, offbeat romance between a washed-up, self-pitying forty-something and a younger man who just happens to be his perfect match!
