After some brief introductory remarks, you can sit back and relax after a hard day of conferencing and watch a Korean classic. Though not R-rated, this film is not suitable for children.

Hanyeo, or The Housemaid, is a melodrama (sometimes classified as a thriller, or even horror) movie from 1960.

Synopsis: "After his pregnant wife gets tired working at home, Dong-sik Kim hires a housemaid to help his wife with the household chores. However, the housemaid turns out to be more than they bargained for."

KOTESOL IC 2021 Conference Chair
I love languages, teaching, and helping people learn. It's messy and occasionally frustrating, but that's part of what makes it great! I teach in a small university in Korea, about an hour east of Seoul. Oh, and I'm this year's Conference Chair, which turned out to be, well, not exactly what I had planned — thanks, Corona! Feel free to message me, and just call me Michael!
