Storyline

- Alternate versionsSimilar to Oldboy (2003), the initial South Korean release of the film saw extensive cuts in the explicit scenes which were either replaced with alternate footage or trimmed slightly. The runtime remained the same. These cuts were later waived in re-releases and the film was released fully uncensored on Blu-ray/DVD.

Featured review
Not for Children
First, although A Good Lawyer's wife is billed as a comedy-drama, it is not. There's little humor to be found in this story of the end of a desolate marriage. Sexually abandoned by her cheating and emotionally indifferent husband, a housewife takes a casual interest in a 16 year old neighbor boy, whose raging hormones give her the passionate interest of a male, something that has disappeared in her marriage. This leads to teenage rituals involving kissing and groping. After a family tragedy, events lead to the culmination of this relationship and a starting point for a new and better life for her.
Beautifully written, acted and directed, the loose ends only add to the film's allure. Not for all tastes. Be warned this is an adult film with graphic nudity and frank dialog throughout, but very rewarding for the mature viewer.
